This book contains many pictures from featured tattoo artists, including the work of Ed Hardy, Bob Roberts, Chris Garver, Horyoshi III, and many other well known artists. The book also has interviews and articles with and about each artist mentioned. It has a mix of styles of tattooing from the traditional Japanese hand tattooing to the western tattoo machine. The tattoos shown are also in a wide variety: traditional, new school, japanese, portraits, etc. I recommend this book.

A well put together book focusing on interviews presenting the work and background of different tattoo artists. I would have loved to have seen more pictures of their individual work and perhaps also how they work, to get to know the craft more than just (in some interviews) the tattooist. In any case, a decent and informative book worth the money.

As an overview of current trends in the tattoo world, alongside basic information as for the developement of the prominant artists in the past 30 years this book is of high importance.
It is not a flash book nor should it be regarded as one.
Sadly it lacks on European artists, namly of recent years.

Really good selection of artists. Good quality printing.

my title says it all.
you can't leave this if you're interested in good tattoos and the people who make them. so many good stuff in this book and the story's are great to read.
just a good book!

This book is excellent for finding artists or getting to know more about your favourite tattoo-artists. The book is full of beautiful artwork (tattoos and paintings)

Allthough there is a lot of text (interviews). This book has been a great inspiration to me and i guess it will be for everybody who loves tattoo-art.
