Skin Shows: The Tattoo Bible is a rich and provocative pictorial survey of an ancient art form that, until recently, remained hidden in our society’s cultural underground. Tracing a global journey through the history and culture of tattoo art, Chris Wroblewski’s new book is a stunning visual document. Above all, it is a book about people and personalities—here skinheads, circus freaks, Buddhist monks, tattoo fetishists, and slightly more ordinary individuals all reveal their obsessions with and dedication to the ritual of ink and pain. Chris Wroblewski is considered to be the foremost photographer of tattoo art. He is the author of more than 15 books on the subject, including Pigments of Imagination.

 "very disappointing" 2009-04-13
By M. Jones (arleta, ca United States)
this book is for the beginner without any experience, but save your money and buy huck spaulding's how to tattoo book for 1\3 the price. i have been a professional tattoo artist for 15 years, this book cut and pastes tattoo techniques from 10 years before i started,it is a very good attempt at collecting information from preprinted articles and internet postings compiling into a booklet that is being marketed as original instructional techniques. but for anyone with skills at tattooing this book is not for you.

 "Fell apart the first time we read it" 2007-04-01
By Ms. Megan A. Bob (Wannanup, Western Australia)
The photos are brilliant but the book is so poorly bound that it fell apart the moment we opened it. The book should have been a hard cover. It was cheaply produced. A real let down.

 "If you are considering for public library purchase" 2006-08-16
By Catherine E. Ingram (Lisle, IL)
This book has full frontal nudity. The binding is terrible. The whole book fell apart after a dozen circs. It does have lots of color photos in it.

 "* For the illiterate enthusiast *" 2006-01-04
By Megan (Chicago, IL United States)
This book is good for the tattoo enthusiast that knows NOTHING about tattoos.It shows you a glimpse into tattoo art around the world,and also gives you a bit about the history and reasoning behind them. Bottom line,if you want a great tattoo picture boo,this is NOT the book. If you know hardly anything about tattoos and want to learn more,this book is NOT for you. If you want to learn a bit more about the culture behind the art,and know little to nothing about it at this point,this book will as they say be your "bible".
