 Good resource September 6, 2007

Very informative and easy to read book. Her advice matched my own tattoo experience exactly. I had a great tattoo experience but wish I had read her book before making my first tattoo appointment.
A great start May 14, 2007
Honestly, for people like me, who have thought about a tattoo for years, not seriusly enough to do it, but not with so little importance that the idea is forgoten fast, this is a great start. If you have had many doubts about tattoos in general, this is a good start, and an interesting reading anyway.
An excellent first book about tattooing April 5, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I had just gotten my first tattoo when I noticed something strange inside of me shifting and wanted to understand. This book was so excellent as a first book in understanding the history, how ink gets into the demis layer of the skin, how to choose a tattoo image and artist, tattoo symbology basics (this author wrote a whole other book on it, but I like this condenced version), aftercare, and much more.
Although I have purchased other books that delve into one region or another of tattooing, I still refer back to this book all the time.
I would definitely reccomend this book to anyone considering a tattoo, or who has recently been tattooed for the first time. Even old-timers who wish to explain to others or those wishing to understand this cultural phenomenon will appreciate this book.
Most excellent! Thanks to amazon for a great deal on it also!

I got this after already having gotten some tattoos. It did have some good info. Would be good for someone without any tattoo experience.
Good Primer on the Tattooing Process January 9, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book does an adequate job of explaining the overall process of pursuing a tattoo, from a vague concept to a piece of permanent art embedded in your dermis.
If you're looking for a lot of design examples, this is not the book for you.
However, there is a chapter in this book devoted to the "method" of picking a design; narrowing down your choices, where to look for examples, and other tips that are very useful for someone who is completely in the dark in regards to a 'final' concept.
This book also contains a lot of tattoo trivia and jargain which will appeal to those who are interested in tatoo history/terminology/etc.
