 An amazing book concerning tattoos and more... February 22, 1998
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Upon first purchasing this book, I was expecting it to enlighten me on the intricacies of tattooing. Although it didn't do this, the memoirs are some of the best I have ever read. If you are interested in tattoos -- and even if you're not, this book is a must read. It is a very touching a frank overview of a mans life which happened to involve tattoos as a form of expression. A must read for everyone!

I enjoyed reading Trachtenberg's stories. There's the assumption that people get tattoos drunk one night or on a whim. It was nice to read about where, why and more about his tattoos. I'd highly recommend this if you have an interest in tattoo art or just a really good personal story
 not a nice man. not a great writer either. June 21, 1999

So Peter Trachtenberg has alienated his parents, his friends, most of the women he's been involved with -- everyone except his tattooist (maybe because she's gay). He is a profoundly self-indulgent man. A few shocking "thrills" here, but that's about it.

In his memoir of a life lived acutely, author Peter Trachtenberg reveals a storytelling gift whose abilty to reveal self is matched by a greater awareness of the absurd and the holy.
Memoirs Are Good, Even In Flesh June 14, 2000

This book is a pretty good read about one man's struggle to find himself and make sense of the world around him. The use of the tattoos makes the story that much more enjoyable. It is amazing to find out the meaning of each of the authors amazing body art. The use of the tattoos in portraying life is an art that has been lost in today's commercialized tatto world and it is nice to see that tattos still hold a place in story telling.
