Customer reviews

A few years ago, this tattoo was trending when people started inking themselves, albeit with a flight of birds, typically around the collar bones. Gradually, creative artists came up with their versions and made book-inspired tattoos.

This is one of the biggest struggles new tattooers face, and too many talented artists have given up their goal of getting into tattooing because of the years it would take to unlearn their bad habits.This is a good book for the tattoo fan and artist alike, a classic 'coffee table' book it is literally cover to cover photographs of some of the most impressive tattooing I have seen ever from top artists around the world. The tattoos are breathtaking, some of them look like paintings they are so good. The book is a bible for any fan of tattooing and is full of inspriational art.
