External Reviews
"This is a very good book for professionals, enthusiasts and body art collectors. There is a multilingual introductiion to the book, which refers to the history of tattooing from earlier times until today, from the Maoris, to prison tattoos to modern tattoing techniques.
The book is also separated into sections, from tribal tattoing to artists' sketches from the beginning of the 20th Century onwards, to Japanese tattoing techniques, and one can easily spot the chronological development of tattoing until more recent times.
The layout of the book, is very attractive, and I was particularly impressed by the cover design. The book is also beautifully edited. Love this book. It gave a lot of history on the art of tattooing and reference for different meanings of tattoos like in the Kiwi tribes etc." - Amazon Review.
"A fascinating book for hardcore ink collectors and art appreciators alike.” - uncrate.com.
