Product Description

Product Description
Tattoos have moved into the mainstream and are continuing to grow in popularity. For people contemplating getting a tattoo, however, the choice of images can be overwhelming. THE TATTOO ENCYCLOPEDIA provides a comprehensive and informative exploration of the colourful world of tattoos. It presents precise descriptions of both common and unusual symbols and sheds light on their historic, religious and cultural significance. Organised in a convenient A-Z format, cross-referenced, indexed and illustrated with 300 pieces of authentic tattoo line art, the book features a stunning array of images from ancient Buddhist and Chinese designs to those sported by twenty-first century bikers. Whether choosing a personally significant tattoo, wanting to learn more about a symbol, or simply interested in tattoos as a form of art and body decoration, readers will discover the richness of tattoo culture in this treasury.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Judge This Book by Its cover, 18 Dec 2007
By Ladyhoghton (Lancashire, England) - See all my reviews
The cover is without doubt the best thing about this book. Its like a cheap 'all about horoscopes' book that you'd get from a bargain book store for £1.99 inside - cheap paper and poor (actually very poor) illustrations. Not my idea of good tattoo book for sure and possibly quite dated. Tripe.

4.0 out of 5 stars Make sure it's what you're after..., 6 Dec 2006
By Skylark (Lancs, UK) - See all my reviews
Those who criticize this book for a paucity of illustration are missing the point, I think. Rather than being a pictorial source, this book offers an interesting and frequently insightful guide to the semiotics of tattoo art.

There is plenty here to get you thinking: designs that you may never have heard of as well as new perspectives on old chestnuts. Some of the un-illustrated oddities are a little frustrating, but it's easy enough to find examples elsewhere.

Absorbing it is. A flash-book it ain't.
