Total Tattoo Book

I am a tattoo artist and this was, without a doubt, the most comprehensive book I have ever read regarding the history of tattooing. I am going to suggest it to my customers, but no way they are borrowing my copy! That one is sacred ground!

I found this book to be very interesting for anyone fascinated by the beautiful art of tattoo or for those just curious about them This book can change how you perceive tattoos. Covers information on almost all aspects of tattooing. Made me realize what a true art form this is. Why wasn't it ever taught in my art history classes?These tattooists are true artists with alot of courage. This book has me already regretting that my lone little tattoo is not bigger and that I only have one. I envy those in the book with their fearlessness in the world of tattoos.

This book was fantastic. I am really interested in tatoo art and this book provided alot of insight and information into the world of tatoo art. It was also very helpful for research... Thanks for the great book.

I'd been thinking about getting a tattoo for ten years and still hadn't gotten up the nerve to do it. Reading this book did the trick--it explains everything and helps dispel the fears. The author has a great, straightforward style and obviously knows her subject. I'm buying a second copy of the book to send to my mother, who hasn't exactly come to terms with the idea of her middle-aged daughter decorating herself with stars. If you've ever even thought about getting a tattoo, if you're in the least bit curious about what it feels like and how the whole process is accomplished--this is the book for you.
