This book is absolutely beautiful.

The pictures are vibrant and encompass such an incredibly diverse range of art from around the world. Anyone who is interested in finding out more about tattoo styles, history, or contemporary artists- this is what you need. From the newbie searching for ideas for their first tattoo, to seasoned inkers, this book has something that will appeal to all.

Really interesting book full of beautiful tattoos. I learned a lot about the history of tattooing worldwide. This book included so many different styles of tattoo art from all around the world, including some nearly extinct indigenous tattooing.

Great quality images, diversity in countries and styles, and I specially love that the book includes a small background of the artists’ life. It is so interesting to know the thoughts behind the art!
