 Do you want to see some incredible wild tattoos? January 8, 2002

This is the best tattoo book I have purchased so far (and I have bought quite a few). The pictures are full color, full page and beautiful. From the basic to the outrageous and everything in between, if you are into piercings or tattoos this is a book for you. I took this book to my tattoo salon and it was a fight to get it back from the other clients, and my tattoo artist. This book caused me to do some stuff my moom isnt going to like, but heck, I am a grown-up and I can always wear a turtle neck! I totally, completely recommend this book.

If you are, as I am, most accustomed to reading about Japanese-style body decoration, Dale Durfee's "Tattoo" will come as a most welcome surprise. Here the tattoos represent the work of numerous artists--located primarily in the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Netherlands--and the bodies decorated are those of both men and women whose ages range from 20 years all the way up to 70. The design styles, meanwhile, embrace everything from traditional Japanese to Polynesian to a charming spread of Winnie-the-Pooh style fantasy.
Still, the most compelling aspect of Durfee's beautiful photographs is the sense of life that radiates from her models. Too often tattoo models are stiffly posed with expressionless faces. Here you can enjoy the beautiful range of artwork represented and celebrate as well the pleasure that beautiful tattoo work (and other body decoration such as piercing) has brought to those who bear it, including two well-matched middle-aged couples. How very refreshing and inspiring!

IMO: This book isn't all that great..Alot of pictures indeed, but they kind of left out many styles..I didn't see alot of New school tattoos..Also, i looked thru it once and after that the book fell apart!It isn't put together well, so now i have to glue it back together..

I'm really not sure how anyone could give this 'book' 4 or 5 stars??? Have any of you people writing these reviews actually seen other books on the medium. Must be not.
It's just a small collection of tattoo photos with little or no text accompymining them and no theme or direction to the photos and 'book' at all. Before I bought the book I was fooled by the rave reviews and the $6.00 price. I'm thinking, 'How could a tattoo book with such great quality be only $6.00?' Now I know. Just like your Momma warned you, "If it sounds too good to be true it probably is". Moms was right.
Stay away from this book and do yourself a favor--go down to your local magazine shop and shell out the $5 or $6 for a quality tattoo mag. You'll get about 10 times the bang for your buck.
If you really want a killer book on tattooing (albeit in the Japanese style) shell out the extra $$$ for Bushido. Now that is what a book on tattooing should look like and read like.
This was garbage.
