 Loved it!! February 22, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Though I may be a little biased, as I have a story in this myself, I LOVED reading everyone else's experiences.
It's a must read for anyone from a serious body art collector, to those who think that tattoos are the devil himself. It will open a lot of eyes, and make you think next time you come across someone with ink!
 What's a tattoo book without pictures?! April 17, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I was really excited to read this book, and the stories are pretty neat, but I was completely bummed that there's not one single picture of a tattoo included! At the end of every story, I wanted to see how that chick's tat turned out...and had nothing to look at. Neat concept, but really lacking.
 Silly, Overanalyzed Nonsense March 20, 2008

I picked this up at the library and was unimpressed. The boring, overemotional and vapid stories in this book about why these women chose their tattoos were embarrassing to read. As I read, I thought that the sort of cloying, juvenile pseudo-significance these "chicks" attached to the ink they chose to have injected into their skin is why men often have a hard time taking women seriously and why Generation X appears to older folks as a bunch of idiots with too much disposable income.
There is one story in the book about one of these women--no doubt a caucasian--getting the Japanese letters for "transience" tattooed into her skin essentially because she had a degree in Japanese Studies and because she had some rudimentary grasp on the "cosmic" concept of impermanence. The ironic humor of the story is multi-layered and, I'm sure, completely lost on the writer.
Is anyone else tired of all these books where someone calls for "submissions" and then compiles them? This one is one of the worst I've read.
 Great stories! March 16, 2007

This book was great! It helped me figure out where i wanted to go to get my first tattoo...i actually found the place through this book. It was great reading about other women allll shapes, sizes, ages, backgrounds getting tattoos and what they meant to that person. So glad I bought this book.
EYE OPENING WITH AN OPEN MIND May 19, 2007

I have to admit-this was more interesting than I thought it would be. You see, being a mother we have and WANT to be included in the realm of our children's interests no matter how far off the wall they may seem (as long as it's legal of course) I do not have any tattoos and although I'm old enough to know NEVER SAY NEVER I don't have any plans on getting one. I read 1-2 stories a day in-between my busy schedule and now I find myself talking with the young girls I work with about THEIR's and they all DO have a story and meaning behind what they chose to have inked on them permanently. I never would have thought of that BEFORE reading the book. Realizing this opens a door for conversation with someone that maybe would not have been there before. I do recommend reading it-yes I would have liked to see some pictures too, but maybe the publishers will oblige with the NEXT book by this editor, my daughter.
