[Thomas Schulte · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is mostly beautiful, full-page, glossy photography of ink of various styles and techniques, some times in various states of completion. The text is limited to two things: 1) an introduction by the author summarizing the history of tattooing in America and praising the influence of Japanese art on the West Coast artisans for revitalizing the art, and 2) model and tattooist identifications in the final pages. The images include two pages for two Robert Williams.
