Tattoos are sexy, fashionable, and creative. This compendium features over 480 designs by the world's leading young graphic artists for tattoos that are new, different, and edgy.Little has appeared that explores fresh designs for tattoos by contemporary graphic artists and designers. Tattoo Art & Design corrects this with designs by over 60 of today's up-and-coming designers. They draw inspiration from diverse cultures and media, and bridge the highly graphic world of skin art and the exploding creativity in graphic design communities worldwide. Among the featured designers are Kinpro, Klaus Haapaniemi, Marcus Oakley, Rex Koo, Rinzen, Musa Collective, and Stapelberg & Fritz. The designs featured here shatter the conventional notion of the tattoo. Gone are hearts inscribed with names, anchors, Celtic harps, or tribal bands. Instead, the tattoo designs are based on Japanese animé characters, abstract art, hip-hop culture, and Day-Glo pop art in a palette of vibrant colors and elaborate shapes. These fun and playful designs will inspire a new breed of tattoo artist as well as the next generation of graphic designers.

These designs are more of the modern art variety- not very tattoo friendly, actually. All of the people in the pictures only have temporary tattoos. I was definitely disappointed in this book.
By Carrie A. Seymour (Chicago)
This book makes a break from traditional tattoo designs, true enough. It is a mind altering and opening experience. Read in tandem with other tattoo books and art and design books, this beautiful, glossy, thing that weighs about 8 pounds(!) could be a real eye opener for someone looking for something a bit different. Super tasty!

I bought this book as a gift for a friend who is really into tattoos. I assumed it would be about tattoos. However it is not, it's about art design. I didn't see a single real tattoo in the book, all the tattoos on people's bodies are fake. Beyond that many of the designs simply don't work as real tattoos because of the level of detail they include (fine for fakes printed from a computer).
After looking at it I feel like I've been kind of taken.
By Kristina Kazakoff (Buffalo, New York)
This book is great. Visually it's fun and intriguing. I am a lover of tattoo art and design, so this makes for an awesome coffee table book. Guests at my house enjoy leafing through it and it adds art interest to my family room.
I give this book three stars because I was expecting more from it. I thought it would be something that explored design theories based on traditional tattooing. I'm not totally sold that this was worth the money.
I suggest checking this book out in person at a book store before committing to the price.
Overall, I like this book.
By Arlene Vanhook (Lexington, KY)
What a huge dissappointment! This book has pictures of tattoos that came from overseas and looks like those Japanese cartoons. I haven't seen anyone with a tattoo like the ones I saw in the book nor would I ever consider getting one. It wasn't a cheap book either. It was so bad it had to go back fast.
