a MUST HAVE for anyone starting their tattoo journey. this book will reinforce what you learned in your apprenticeship and maybe add a few tricks and tips to bring you even further.

this book will not teach you how to tattoo.

It was very helpful. I do want to learn to tattoo someday and the authors sense of humor helped for some of the more technical bits I don't fully understand yet. Will reread it someday for sure

Very interesting but some questionable example art towards the end.
