Madame Chinchilla has written an insightful and an historically significant book on Electric Tattooing By Women 1900 to 2003.

Those interested in tattooing MUST read this book and another of Madame Chinchilla's books entitled "Stewed,Screwed & Tatttooed".

Very interesting and informative. It is true....Art With A Pulse. Thank you and congratulations Madame Chinchilla on another great work.

Madame Chinchilla has written an historically significant book on women tattooers.
Another great book by Madame Chinchilla is " Stewed,Screwed & Tattooed". A MUST read for anyone interested in tattooing.

Thank you Madame Chinchilla and Congratulations. We are "Art With A Pulse !"

When i'm asked who does my work
I narrow it down to Pat & Leo
Otherwise i'd stand there blabbing off names
People reply well he does good work
Well Pat Sinatra & Leonie Bauer are hardly HE'S
This book is great for its exposure of female artists
The pictures are great and the captions are short but sweet
It's also a great reference for female artists around the would
a current & updated version Is in the works
Don't quote me on it
also see Tanya Trowbridge Kingston n.y.

As a scholar on the subject of tattooed ladies, this book was a big disappointment. The photos of the historical women were nice, but the information provided about them was minimal and undocumented. If you quote a person about something, then you really should mention where the quote came from. The information on the currently working women was better, but again, minimal. I was also disappointed that she didn't include photos of tattoos these artists had done, rather simply included photos of them and the tattoos that they had.
Overall, not much content, just some nice pictures.

I really enjoyed this book because it not only gives you actual pictures of women artists but also gives some history of women artists and there love for the art in the 1900's to the present. Thank you Madamme Chinchilla for your wonderful book and giving credit to all the wonderful women artists we have.
