Pretty good bargain

Has a decent variety of tattoos, but the majority seemed to be retro tattoos. Does have some amazing japanese pieces though.

1000 Tattoo's

Great number of tattoo pictures, black and white as well as color, in this small book. Very interesting to flip through. Only problem with this book is that there are so many pictures that the binding can not handle them all.

Thick as a Brick and Packed

This book is everywhere, in every kind of store imagineable, and it's always well-thumbed. That's because it's irresistible. Hanky Panky has drawn from his enormous photo collection and given us 1000 tattoos -- of all types, including some historical shots. One of the most bizarre tattoos that...

Very cool book, but some shortcomings...

I really enjoy this book and never get tired of perusing it, but it is very heavy on old school designs with very little modern stuff to chew on. I love the old tattoo photos from the early 20th century, and a lot of the black and white shots of oldies like Les Skuse at work. A great photographic...

Historically, this is very interesting, but. . .

This book lacks a lot. First, it does not address many of the pre-eminent tattooists of the recent past and present. For example, there is no Guy Aitchison, no Aaron Cain, no Dan Hazelton, etc. People like this have been essential to the recent developments of the tattoo. Second, as one of the...

Not a bad resource, but not everything I wanted...

First of all, this book DOES give a bit of the fascinating background of tattooing through the ages. It also DOES give plenty of photographs (~90-95% of the book).However, it does not give much in the way of explanation of where the modern styles developed. It also spends the majority of its...

The tattoo overview that makes a great doorstop

Seriously, this book is much more fun to read than use as a doorstop, but that is an accurate reference to its very thick size! Amsterdam tattooist Henk Schiffmacher has collected material from far and wide within the tattoo scene for this comprehensive volume. Drawn flash and photographic...

Everything from origins to modern

A great photographic chronicle of tattoos, from the tradition moko of the Maori to modern-style American design. Very comprehensive coverage of different eras, styles, artists, etc., with text that explains the photos without trying to be stupidly hip. Highly recommended for anyone interested in...
