 "Total Tattoo Book" totally incomplete May 19, 2000
72 out of 79 found this review helpful
I must start by saying that I am considerably disappointed with this book. The author spends a lot of time boasting about being a "tattooed Jew", tooting her own horn for organizing a tattoo convention in New York, and talking about how "tattooed people are ok!" and "bikers are just like everyone else". There is definately too much chatter and not enough information. The list of tattoo studios in the back of the book is not a very good resource, as the information there is highly likely to change, such as addresses and phone numbers. There are a lot of black and white photos, not "many in color!" as the back of the book claims, and most of the pictures can be found in any number of other books on the subject. The book was inexpensive, and may provide some insight into tattooing in New York, but it lacks substance and isnt worth much more than a quick read.

im a big fan of body art. i read and research alot about it. i also have four tattoos of my own and plan on getting more. i even dated a tattoo artist for a short period of time. i hung out at the tattoo shop every day and was around 5-10 artists at a time every day. i know my stuff. but by no means am i out writing a book on tattoos. with that said. this book was not the "total tattoo book" i expected. it mostly told me stuff i already knew, had bad pictures, and talked way to much about her personal experiences. i was bored and even skipped sentences at times just to finish it. but i did finish it out of respect for the author and give her two stars. 1 star for her efforts
1 star because its about tattoos

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.
not too sure. August 17, 1999

i would only recommend this book to people who know nothing at all about tattooing. i would have rather named this book "tattooing for dummies". if you're new to the tattooing community this book will definitely provide you with useful information, otherwise it just wont do much for you. too many generalizations, i feel. the language used is very much aimed at an american audience.
 for beginners only? February 6, 2006

this book is very very fundamental. the black and white photos are small and pretty useless and the color shots could be better.
better books are available
