Product Description
Dr. Phil, Gay Unicorns, and Jesus Christ...
They're all tattooed on someone's ass. Or face, or whatever. Remember that time you were wasted and thought it would be a good idea to get a tattoo on your leg of Maury Povich shaking hands with Sasquatch, but your friends talked you out of it at the last second? Well, some people don't have any friends...
Aviva Yael and P. M. Chen spent a year going to tattoo conventions and tattoo studios all over the country, chasing, stalking, e-mailing, calling, interviewing, ambushing, and hunting down whomever they could in order to find the most insane tattoos out there. What started out as a joke in a bar became a year-long tattoo safari that's presented here in all its full color, balls-to-the-wall, train-wreck/beauty-pageant glory.

 Small and Cheap...You Get What You Pay For May 13, 2008

Like tattoos, you get what you pay for. This book is small and cheaply thrown together. Interesting concept but poorly executed from what must have been free on-line public domain content. You'd be better off googling "bad tattoos" for free.
Why pay when you can get it for free? May 18, 2008

Given the amount of web sites devoted to "crazy" tattoos, this book seems like a regurgitation of some average bits of content found on some of them. The photo reproductions are uneven in quality and have been cropped right down so that almost all bodily context is lost. The captions remind me of the ones that CREEM magazine used to run under photos back when I was 14 years old, and I'm pretty sure that's the same age bracket that will like the ones found here. The authors had a good idea, but then executed it in a slapdash fashion and seemed to have kept all the best stories and jokes to themselves.
Rather than pay for this book, just go to your favorite search engine and just do a few image searches. You'll get the same quality and you can make up your own captions.
No permission for use of any of the photos? May 26, 2008

I'm a tattooist, and while I admit at laughing at some of these images, I was surprised at a few things: all the images were obviously taken from internet sources because the quality is terrible (jpg files for use on 72dpi screens makes for terrible printing), and I'm not sure if the so-called authors of this book got permission from any of the artists or photographers to use the work inside. Sure, there is credit given in the back of the book, but did any of the artists or photographers get compensation for their work? I doubt it.
This book is basically theft.

This book is an instant classic. It has a million hilarious photos and the forward by David Cross is genius.
Howard Stern REALLY liked this book, and so do I! May 13, 2008

This book is funny! It also is like NOTHING else out there, including the internet, and it makes you wonder what it is that makes people do such strange permanent things . . . . Most interesting!
