The Tattoo Book details a significant artifact relating to tattoo history -the design book of obscure turn-of-the-century tattoo artist, C.H. Fellowes. Though the book is mostly a visual display of Fellowes' tattoo designs, it includes several pages of insightful commentary by Smithsonian curator, William C. Sturtevant, concerning general tattoo history, as well as, speculation on who Fellowes might have been. This book is a good read for someone with an interest in tattoo history.

Since the writing of this book,groundbreaking information on Fellowes' identity has been uncovered. You can read more about this 2014 development at the Buzzworthy Tattoo History website: http://www.buzzworthytattoo.com/.
