I bought this book expecting to find "old school" tattoo flash and could have not have been more disapointed. It took me all of five minuets to repackage this book for a return.
The examples are cartoony at best, more like temporary tattoos for a child than a good reference for an adult.
Stick with Sailor Jerry

These are good designs to use for graphic purposes, probably not for actual tattoos, as they're colored simply and not shaded. They do transmit from the CD very well and they're cleanly drawn. Very happy with our purchase!

Im a artist and this book i have used from everything from card making, quilting, embroidery, and much more. so I love this book

I really like this book of flash. The idea isn't to create a real tattoo to put on your skin based on these illustrations, but as a building tool for other creations. If you're looking for Sailor Jerry flash, but buy Sailor Jerry flash, this clear as day says "Classic Tattoo Designs".

My co-workers used something quite similar to create temporary tattoos with my name on them that they all sported on my birthday. Great idea!

This book has a good selection of classic tattoo designs, and I would consider it a good value for the price. The artwork is good, not amazing, but certainly adequate. Each design is offered in color and in linework. If you're looking for a good, all-purpose book of flash, and not necessarily a lot of authentic Sailor Jerry stuff, this book (and CD ROM!) is a good choice.

Someone handed this off to me in the shop and it is certifiably pretty lame. Cartoony, hardly tattoo-looking (shading anyone?) and just plain goofy. Never even looked at the CD, as the book was proof enough that it was dumb.

I SUPPOSE one could redraw the ideas into something viable and cool, or you could just find the original Jerry pieces from which these were homogenized from.

WEAK. Save your money.

I bought this for my husband, for his new hobby. We appreciate the CD to make the pictures "flash friendly". And the book has many different old and new patterns.
