Product Description
Tattooing is a reflection of the basic human desire to decorate the body, and tattoos have held many different meanings throughout history. The practice has existed since ancient Egypt, and in our contemporary society has become a popular way for people of all ages to express themselves. Tattoo is a fascinating journey through the colorful world of this corporeal art form, via hundreds of fascinating photographs documenting the highly complex ritual tattoos of various subcultures, as well as the fantastic designs of modern tattoo artists.

THis is a good gloss over of tattoos. But, there isn't a whole lot of content. I think what I was looking for is a picture book of tattoos.

This book is a work of art. Whenever I have friends over, we always end up looking through it. Some of the photographs are just awe inspiring. I went back to the drawing board with the design of my own tattoo after buying this book, as it completely opened my mind up to possibilities I had never considered. Makes a great coffee table book too, and certainly provokes conversation!

I bought this book as a present for my sister-in-law who just started a tattoo business and she loved it. She sat down to read it right away, the illustrations were great and gave her many ideas!


4 out of 5 stars Purchased as a gift, but it is adored!   December 8, 2007

I bought this as a housewarming gift for a dear friend of mine who is a tattoo artist. But before I wrapped it, I couldn't resist taking a peek inside. The book is thinner than I expected, but still fantastic for the coffee table.
What really makes it impressive is the collection of stunning pictures... each large, vivid, and crystal clear. Absolutely beautiful shots of body art.
The recipient loved it, and the book was passed around at the party all evening.
