A definite help

I read this before I got my first tattoo, and it was very informative. It didn't pretty-up anything, and was right to the point. I would definitely recommended it to anyone. I think the picture gallery could have been better though.

Very informative!

After buying this book, I read it front to back, several times over. It explains just about every form of body art. Its a great book for the beginner to learn more about tattooing and piercing.

Extremely helpful when deciding to get body art done.

In my case, I'm doing a school report on body piercing. This book gave my an extrodinary amount of information for my paper, and having a piercing myself, I found how to take care of it in cases that something goes wrong and I know that I have done everthing right in caring for it so far. I would reccomend it to anyone that is thinking about getting a body piercing or a tattoo It can really ease a person's mind and let them know whether or not it is a good idea for them to do any form of body art.

This book helps a lot

I think this is the best book to get if you are planning on getting tattoos and or piercing. I was unsure of what to expect when I got my first tattoo so I waited until I had a little bit more information. I picked up this book at the book store and read the book. It had everything you needed to know about what to expect when getting a tattoo or piercing. Also, it talked about symbolism, history, and even the aftercare of tattoos and piercings. I was convinced after reading this book to get my first tattoo, a virgo symbol. This became addicting as I now have 4 tattoos in all with plans to get more work done. Also, until I read this book, I have never even considered body piercing. I now have my second earlobe holes, cartilage, tongue, navel, and a clit hood piercing. I am very satisfied with the results. I highly recommend this book.
