Advanced Tattoo Art (How-To Secrets from the Masters)

No longer the domain of bikers and sailors, tattoos can now be found decorating the skin of soccer moms and white-collar executives. Tattoo art has emerged from the garage to the parlor, from the local bar to the board room. With interest in tattoos at an all-time high, the time is right for a detailed look at the art and artists who create the elaborate designs. Advanced Tattoo Art takes the reader inside the shops of ten well-known and very experienced artists spread across the country. Detailed photo sequences follow each artist through one project, from the customer's concept to the finished and colorful design. Both a how-to book and a photo-intense look at the world or tattoos, Advanced Tattoo Art includes interviews with the artists that explain not only how they do what they do, but why they create the designs.

The only book of it's kind!

This book is just like the preview shows, for it's 150 pages or so. All full color, step by step photography and description of 10 different artists techniques start to finish. All tutorials show use of the modern tattoo machinery. This is what I've always wished the tattoo mags would be like but...

Absolute Trash

I'm a tattoo artist and just got done looking at a copy of this book. Other than Joe Capobianco, the rest of the tattooers are mediocre at best. Most of the tattoos they show as examples are poorly done. It's sad that with the popularity of tattooing, there are vultures out there like the author...

novice beware!

because most people would be mislead by the words, "advanced" tattoo art and "HOW -to" secrets... most people might just buy this crappy book that teaches nothing you can't learn on your own or from your local tattoo shop which already holds back info to keep you from prospering in this field!...

very disapointed

The title is very misleading, thier are no secerts revealed and only a couple of masters(in my opion it takes longer than 3yrs to be considered a master at tattooing). This book was a waste of money and time. It only pissed me off. I do not recommend this book to anyone, I don't care how much of...

Skip it

No real technical info is given here. Your better off purchasing the three tattoo mags you could have bought instead of this. Nice sequential pictures though.

DO NOT BUY THIS WASTE OF TREES

First of all I chose one star because there is no option for 0 or even negative stars... This so-called-book is the biggest lie of any book I have ever read. The saying "never judge a book by its cover" is dead on with this one - in a very negative sense. Advanced Tattoo Art - How-to Secrets...
