Customer Reviews

Good Collector's Item

I bought this because I'm a huge fan of Angelina Jolie, and even though it's a little basic, I enjoyed it and it makes a great addition to any collection or a great coffee table book.

Nice Photos

"Celebrity Skin" is basically a coffee table book full of photos of stars and their tattoos. It covers not just actors, but also sports icons, models and musicians. My two favorites being Bjork and Johnny Depp. The photos are really nice and ones that I haven't seen elsewhere. The info was interesting, but I guess I was hoping for more insight on to what the tattoos symbolilze to the people who got them. While I didn't dislike this book as much as some of the other reviewers, I should say that this was given to me as a gift and it's probably not a book I'd have purchased (definitely one to look at in the bookstore). I'm giving it four stars because it was fun to look through and the photos really are nice.

Starstruck

I have read the other reviews online, which is what prompted me to write. Although I agree with some of their points, this title is a beautiful addition for anyone interested in the stars. Never before has there been a collection of adornments of the stars, and I found the text rather intriguing. I feel this book is accessible to everyone, not just tatoo freaks, and the design and layout are great.
