No longer the domain of bikers and sailors, tattoos can now be found decorating the skin of soccer moms and white-collar executives. Tattoo art has emerged from the garage to the parlor, from the local bar to the board room. With interest in tattoos at an all-time high, the time is right for a detailed look at the art and artists who create the elaborate designs. Advanced Tattoo Art takes the reader inside the shops of ten well-known and very experienced artists spread across the country. Detailed photo sequences follow each artist through one project, from the customer's concept to the finished and colorful design. Both a how-to book and a photo-intense look at the world or tattoos, Advanced Tattoo Art includes interviews with the artists that explain not only how they do what they do, but why they create the designs.

Format:Paperback
The title of this book is completely misleading. Your money would be better spent with a subscription to "Tattoo" or "Flash" magazine. There is no how-to information, and the various write ups on the tattoos are highly repetative (two of the pictures even have the same caption). On top of everything it is poorly written, and the author clearly knows little about the art of tattooing. It reads as though it was written by a 13 year old boy who worships his local tattooist. The book is now being used to level an old coffee table I have.

This book is a joke...There are NO Secrets to be learned here. It is written by someone who knows nothing about Tattooing and even less about telling you how to do anything. All it is is a bunch of in series photos of tattooing with a small explanation (nothing informative)with each photo, and you learn nothing from it at all. My Opinion...A TOTAL WASTE OF PAPER! Tells nothing about what you need to know to be able to do the same kind of work, which, by the way was about 75% garbage work and maybe 25% talent. Overall I wouldn't waste your money on this one! If I could give it minus stars for a rating I would.

This book is a joke, with absolutely no insight or information that couldn't be learned from a magazine. Waste of money.

I'm a tattoo artist and just got done looking at a copy of this book. Other than Joe Capobianco, the rest of the tattooers are mediocre at best. Read more

For the amature tattoo artist this is a helpful insight on techniques advanced tattoo artists use.

Skip it
No real technical info is given here. Your better off purchasing the three tattoo mags you could have bought instead of this. Nice sequential pictures though.
