This book was a delight. The photographs are phenomenal and are well-shot; the stories are good. The text is readable, and there are nice vignettes about the art of tattooing - though it sounds like it would be more for tattoo artists in that respect.

A disappointment was how many of the people involved were actually involved with Hart and Huntington studios - virtually all of them - either as customer or more likely, as employee. Virtually none have what would be called a "mainstream" or corporate job (the limosine driver comes closest).

This book is more of a pictoral view of the best Hart and Huntington has to offer than it is a collection of stories of a slice of tattooed America.

It is still worth getting - even though the slice of people represented sound narrow, they all have quite varied stories to tell, though not terribly in depth.

This is an excellent book - just not a collection of stories of mainstream America and their tattoos.

this book is so interesting for all those interested in tattoos and their history..
Also if your a Carey Hart fan like me you'll love all the pictures of him..
Great book..love it

I love tattoos and have many, so hearing about individuals and their reasons for getting them peaked my interest. Unfortunately, almost all of the "individuals" included are tattoo artists. Hardly a broad spectrum of people with tattoos.

Wouldn't recommend it.

Every tattoo has it's own story! The telling of each story with a wonderful picture of the tattoo gives it a personal touch not commonly felt in the tattoo world.
