People LOVE The Tattoo Sourcebook!
Barnes & Noble can’t keep it on the shelves and in Ireland where they don’t have B&N I was offered over 150 euro for my copy. It’s already gone into it’s second printing since it’s launch in October 2008 and for a first-time effort on a subject heretofore NO major publishing house would touch, Harper Collins’ gamble on the tattoo industry has paid off in both tattoo interest and tattoo education. That’s good for everybody: artist and collector. It’s chock full of ideas and explanations for those repetitive questions that plague a lot of tattooers from “What’s the difference between tribal and Celtic?” to “Does it hurt?” Plus it’s HUGE with TONS of designs that mirror your typical street shop it’s range of quality. Even the most sophisticated tattooer and collector will find something to appreciate in the scope of it’s content.
From pork chop to back piece this is a groundbreaking book whose impact is just starting to be felt in lobbies and living rooms around the world!

Setting a price of almost 300 dollars for a USED book that can be obtained at numerous bookstores, to include Barnes and Noble, just because it is unavailable new from Amazon.com is highway robbery. I noticed this when I was searching online for this book, and shopping around for the best price, and noticed the set price for it used. One seller is even offering it for over 2000 dollars. For a used book with MEDIOCRE designs? Are you kidding me? It can also be purchased from Canada and from the UK for under 20 dollars American. I think it is horrible business practice, and a shame that sellers would try to gouge customers like this.

Just received this book on Sept. 17th and the receiver called and said he really like the book very much just what he wanted. The shipping was slow but the product was great. Thank you Carol

This book is great for you to get ideas. It is not to just copy and print. This will help you mix your art for a better piece. A lot better than the old cherry creek and old reused art that many clients have to see when looking at flash.

There are some typos here and there but for the most part there is a ton of great artwork by world renowned artists. It paid for itself in the first day at the shop and has continued to do so since then. I would say that anyone that looks at this book and says otherwise is either bitter or blind. It may go a little overboard on some of the “if this is your first tattoo” information, but it is at least honest. I am proud to be included in the book. I helped out with the history and included some artwork. I believe myself to be the worst artist in the book and am proud to even be included. It’s a good read, a great view, and a worthy buy.
