As a proffesional tattooist and avid tattoo-related book collector, I must say this is the worst source book for 'tattoo designs' I have come across. The author evidently has no interest or experience in the field of tattooing and is looking to make a quick buck!

I was so disappointed with this book , i was looking to draw inspiration for a tattoo but found this totally uninspirational ! It was like a 14 year olds doodles , very basic , basic colouring , mainly outlines and not alot of variety. Totally gutted when I looked through this book , it has now been given to my 3 year old daughter for her to use as a colouring book all be it a very expensive one !!

what a load of rubbish, a book of very very basic out lines that would suit stain glass windows more than tattoos the colouring is basic no shading on the whole a very poor example of ink work that's available today, the best tattoo in the whole book is the one on the cover and that's far from an interesting example of tattoo work.very poor.

Brilliantly illustrated book. I loved looking through it even though it was bought as a present for my son. Delivery from Amazon is always excellent.
