Customer Reviews

Not what I expected!!
I was expecting this book to show many different styles and designs in photographs and on people. It is in fact basically a book of stencils! This might be what you are looking for, in which case fine. If you are looking for inspiration however I don't think this is the book for you. I also find the designs to be rather basic and the sort you could find on any tattoo studio wall. They are not in the same league as such people such as Anil Gupta (check him out if you dont know who he is!). If like me you want a book to browse and say - "see his tattoo, I want one like that" and then go about making it your own then this is not the book for you. If you think that you know what you want and it is floral, celtic, a dragon or such like this book would be good to photocopy onto tattoo paper to try your desgin.

Hope this helps!!
