 "sparkle, but no depth..." 2003-08-12
By nature girl (washington, dc United States)
The only reason to buy the book is the list of suppliers in the back. The only list I've found so far for paints which are safe for use on skin.

I found this book disapointing.
The photos are beautiful, but too much space is used on 'lick-and-stick' tatoos. One was more than enough.
If you can't figure out how to apply them from the instuctions on the card, you have a problem...

More images of body paint or henna would have been appropriate.

The book also promised tips on makeup and hair, I found the styles mundane and the instructions mediocre .

 "Body Art for the Teenage Girl" 2002-01-08
By (Des Moines, Washington United States)
If you are a teenage girl looking for a way to shock your parents, this book will definately assist you. Or, if you live in a trailer park, this is the book for you. Not a good book for a person who takes thier tattoos and peircings serious. The book was serious and trivial, but in all seriousness I am sure most high school girls would love it -- OK, at least the "bad" girls.

 "Amusingly cute" 2001-11-02
By
The cover photo immortalizes the teen-glitter-glam pop princess overkill look of the late '90s. Unfortunately, most of the inside isn't that glamorous, featuring a number of body-art ideas that are unlikely to appeal to even the most fearless fashion experimenters (barcode temporary tattoos? yuck!). Still, some of the tips are informative, and some of the photos are cute enough to appeal to Spicemania nostalgists. Probably a good stocking-stuffer for younger teens who are uninhibited by notions of good taste.

 "Diverse Body Art" 2001-01-17
By (Woden, ACT Australia)
This book shows examples of diverse range of body art which is available. It is divided into a number of distinct areas which include tattoos, henna, nail art, bindi, body jewels, body paint, hair design and piercing. The body art on display covers small areas of the body, such as, the face, eyes, belly button, shoulder, wrist, etc.

 "Body Art Chic" 2000-04-13
By Bri (puyallup, washington baby!)
This book was pretty cool it showed me how to do all these things with my hair you know new and modern kinda stuff I liked that part. It also gave me some tips on piercing stuff on my own some sterilization tecniques and stuff that was a life saver cause I didn't get an infection. it also tells you how to draw those awsome designs on your hands and draw little forehead orniments. I gave this book only 4 stars cause some of the intstructions are confusing.

 "Fall-Out, Skin Deep Magazine Book Review, London, England" 2002-12-18
By (London, England)
Many of you will know the name Bob Baxter from his role as Editor of the American tattoo magazine Skin & Ink. During the summer of 2001, Bob took a break from the mag for a couple of weeks and took to the road to gather material for this book. To many of us, a road trip, especially in the U.S., is the quintessential freedom experience. A road trip with the sole purpose of checking out the tattoo shops and artists along the way certainly isn't a bad way to spend a fortnight. The area that Bob chose for his book is the Pacific Northwest, basically covering the states of Oregon and Washington and dipping over the border to Canada, into British Columbia. This makes the book particularly interesting and pertinent for me, because this is one of my favorite parts of the world. I have been tattoed many times in Vancouver, B.C., and the very first article I ever had published in Skin Deep was an account of my own tattoo road trip through Canada. Tattoo Road Trip is a beautifully produced hardback book with the high production values we have come to expect from Schiffer. It is packed with luscious colour pictures showing the scenery, the characters and, most importantly, the tattoos that Bob came across along the way. The text is part travel journal and part interviews with tattooists famous and unknown. Names include well known artists such as Vyvyn Lazonga, Terry Tweed, Dave Shore, John the Dutchman, London Bellman and Dave Lum. Bob also interviews the world's most-tattooed woman, Krystyne Kolorful. Some people you may not be familiar with include Jennifer Billig, Aaron Bell, Teresa Johnson and many, many more. The book conveys the sense of adventure and the journey into the unknwon that accompanies a road trip. Bob Baxter's writing style, honed after many years as a journlaist, is clear and evocative with a wry touch of humor. The book touches on the tattoo history of the Pacific Northwest and the colourful characters of years gone by as well as giving a sense of the vibrant tattoo scene there today. Trouble is, reading it will have you itching to pack a bag, sling it in the back of the car and head on down the road. Hmmmmm, now that gives me an idea...

 "tattoo symbolism" 2009-12-12
By Zvi Friedman (brno, czech republic)
This book lacks in every aspect from military tattoos to naval tattos through tribal and traditional up to modern symbles that may appear of any importance.

I had high hopes of this book but sadly I was dissepointed...

The sadest thing of all is that there isn't even an attempt from the author of the book to learn more from the readers of the book... No contact address is present so that in the future an updated edition would be published.

In short, good way to make money, bad way to create an academic research...

Choosing a tattoo buy way of using this book? I don't think so.

 "Great Ink Book!" 2009-06-13
By Kristine F. Grover-range
My son loves this book, he is learning so much he did not know about tattoo's. The pictures have given him new idea's too on what to do to pictures that he said were not done yet that were missing something.

 "Informative, Wish it was Larger!" 2008-12-09
By Barbara Staples (Chicago, IL)
This is a great book for anyone looking to get a tattoo. It covers all the basics of symbolism of major images and themes seen in tattoos. It has a lot of entries, but I wish there was more in-depth entries! At least they give a good over-view of each entry so you could look up more about it on your own. Not as many pictures as I would like - but its an inexpensive book so really I can't complain!

 "The Mark of Cain" 2008-06-18
By A. D. Cox (northern PA, USA)
The Mark of Cain



The pub, the bar, the old watering hole: it's where all the animals gather at the end of the day, but that also includes the predators. I met a gal with the nickname of "Lou". Lou challenged me to arm wrestle and beat me two out of three, and me being a weightlifter and wrestler in high school. But in all fairness, I was distracted by the tattoos of bleeding skulls and naked women rippling down her biceps.



Tattooing is becoming much more commonplace and mainstream in today's society. It used to be that very few women got tattoos. Those that did were the exception and usually a touch eccentric and rebellious, not to mention being able to hold their liquor. All that changed in the late 80's when tattooing became much more socially acceptable, largely due to the many celebrities who publically sported tattoos. In the fall of 2006, a study was completed by the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, which found that 24% of Americans who were between the ages of 18 and 50 had a tattoo. This is almost one in four people in the United States, including women.



Throughout human history, we have deliberately and permanently marked our skin. Tattoos have served as rites of passage, marks of religious and spiritual devotion, decorations of bravery, punishment, talismans of protection, to identify oneself with a particular group or gang, and as the marks of outcasts, slaves and convicts. Today, most people choose to be tattooed for cosmetic and sentimental reasons. No matter the reason - tattoos are forms of expression that carry meaning.



Perhaps you are thinking of getting a tattoo like my drinking buddy "Lou", and you don't know where to start. I recommend checking out The Tattoo Encyclopedia: A Guide To Choosing Your Tattoo by Terisa Green with illustrations by Greg James. This illustrated reference book has entries on the origins and meanings of nearly one thousand tattoo symbols that can serve as your guide for choosing a personally significant tattoo.



For people contemplating a tattoo, the choices can be overwhelming. Do you get a tiger, a dragon, or is a 13 ½* better suited for your current situation? Maybe a butterfly, flower, or cartoon character is more your style. Tattoos can be rich in symbolism or whimsical fashion statements. The Tattoo Encyclopedia presents concise descriptions of symbols both common and unusual, and provides information on their historic, religious, and cultural significance.



Most people and most cultures do associate tattoos with some deeper meaning. They can be an outward sign of inner transformation, an appeal to the forces of fortune, or a declaration of love, loyalty, or sometimes even hatred. They are reminders of events both grim and uplifting -- a glimpse into our past and the events and experiences that have shaped us. I'm thinking of getting a tattoo of the Phoenix, the mythological bird that rises from the ashes. I know I can beat "Lou", and I'm going to challenge her to a rematch. Right after I pay for the next round...

The Japanese Tattoo Design Handbook, Vol. I

Buy Low Price From Here Now
Tattooing in Japan goes back to the dawn of the nation's history. The ancient Chinese text Wei Zi of 297 AD relates that all the men of the land of Wa (Japan) wore tattoos on their faces and bodies. What began as talismanic markings used as protection against harm eventually became the decorative tattoos known as horimono. Today, the techniques and designs used in Japanese tattoos are acclaimed worldwide.

In this first of two volumes presenting the work of some of Japan's leading horishi, or tattoo artists, The Japanese Tattoo Design Handbook Vol. 1 introduces over 80 on-skin designs from five masters that blend traditional and modern techniques. Fans of body art and tattooists alike will find this both an invaluable sourcebook and a fascinating first-time collection of ink design.

Truly all these people believe in using their body as a canvas for the artists and to express for all to see their inner most feelings.

 "Bad quality, little information..." 2008-10-03
By J. A. E. Szlapka (The Netherlands)
I ordered a view books regarding japanese tattoo's and this book was a big disappointment. The quality of the book is bad (pages stick) and there is little information in the book. I wanted to remove the 1 star, but it's not possible...

 "Good reference" 2008-09-10
By Ramsey Hong (Las Vegas, NV United States)
I was surprised by the thinness of the book, but it IS full of good photography. I'm always seeking good photo reference for "traditional" Japanese tattoos, so I consider this a good buy. Some of the photography needs work, but overall this is a book full of clear detailed photos of some nice "traditional" Japanese tattoos. I put "traditional" in quotes because some of the tattoos featured in this book have elements I don't think are considered strictly traditional, but stylistically many of them are still rendered in a traditional style. Nonetheless, if you are looking for a useful reference book of Japanese style tattoo work and are getting frustrated with not finding anything good at your local bookstore, this would be a satisfactory choice.

 "A perfect resource for those interested in Japanese tattoos and for tattoo artist's who need a pictorial source for ideas" 2008-08-08
By Dennis A. Amith (kndy) (California)
With "The Japanese Tattoo Design Handbook Vol. 1, Cocoro Books/DHP Publishing showcases the new generation of tattoo artists in Japan: Back in Black's Hiro, Hori Toshi Family's Hori no Suke, Sangenjaya's Hori Taku, 56 Tattoo Studio's Hori Masa and Tattoo Church's Carlos.



With a two-page introduction by freelance writer Steven Walsh on Japanese tattoos, the book is filled with full page photos of tattoo design by these artists.



The book doesn't try to be what the other Japanese tattoo design books out there by documenting the history or even detail procedures of an artist. Its primary goal is to show off the works of the artists showcasing traditional and modern design. It's straight-forward and for those wanting images, this book is primarily showcasing the tattoos from the upper half of the body, to some full body shots.



The tattoo designs by these artists range from complex, intricate, dark, colorful and beautiful. I was very impressed by the talent of the five artists featured in this book



"The Japanese Tattoo Design Handbook Vol. 1 is a perfect resource for those interested in Japanese tattoos and a solid resource for those who need inspiration for their own design through the many photos featured in this book.



Similar to other books released by Cocoro/DHP, included is a cardboard slipcase where the book can be placed in.



And for those seeking an inexpensive resource of high quality photography featuring Japanese tattoo design, you really can't go wrong with this book.

 "Beautiful resource for style/ideas" 2008-07-28

I purchased this book, along with volume II, and I am glad I did. Tho a smaller book physically, it holds an awesome trove of beautiful art, and a larger glimpse into the almost flawless work of some of the Japanese masters. A must for reference if you like Japaneze irezuma, tattoo or not!

The World of Tattoo: An Illustrated History

Buy Cheap The World of Tattoo: An Illustrated History

Buy Low Price From Here Now
Despite a growing fascination with tattooing among social scientists--and the popularity of tattoos themselves in general--the practice of tattooing has lacked a comprehensive historical record. Until very recently, there was no good context for writing a serious world history of tattooing. This new volume conveys the richness of the history of tattooing from antiquity to the present day.
Unlike most other tattoo books that describe one aspect this book conveys the overall picture. It takes you to each of the seven continents with descriptions of their tattoo history and tattoo practices. Thus the book provides the reader with a truly global view of tattooing. It adds new information and new examples and insights that give the reader a new perspective.

By combining empirical history, powerful cultural analysis, and a highly readable style, the author adds an important step to the ongoing effort of writing a meaningful cultural history of tattooing. He does not draw new conclusions or present shocking new theories, but suggests and invites the reader to form his own opinions. This publication presents the reader with a vast amount of textual and visual information. From the well known examples from Tahiti to rarely seen Chinese tattoos, from the Ice Maiden to modern day Western tattoos--they are all there. Many of the approximately 400 color illustrations are unique images that have never been published before.

even though i had expected something rather different (lots of photographs, e.g.) when i ordered this book, i cannot but agree with my fellow reviewer. another excellent item from don ed hardy's hardy marks publications.

however: i feel that this book is more for the truly dedicated dragon tattoo design enthusiast and/or tattooer.

there is a very interesting introduction about dragon design and mythology. also, there is a very interesting bibliography suggesting further reading.

the countless designs, drawings in black and white only (!), show all aspects of dragon tattoo design. very interesting and absolutely high quality work. but, as i have said before, rather aimed at specialists and tattooers. for the latter, imho, a must-have!

Dragon Tattoo Designs is a great source book for anyone interested in dragon tattoos, even if you just want to draw them. The designs are such that they will withstand the test of time and aging well. Interesting and informative also. As always the best from Hardy.
