Summary: A nice book, but....
Comment: I ordered this book thinking it would have tons of different tattoo ideas. While it does, it has a lot of the same thing. Like 40 pages of the "Green Man." I dont see many tattoos of the green man, and to have 40 pages of it...also they have lighthouses?...well, draw your own conclusions. The dragons are really cool, but so many of the wildlife ones are for painting, not really tattoo quality. And the symbols section leaves a lot to be desired. Lots of crosses, which is fine, but nothing for modern symbols.And lastly the floral section. Only one rose, which i really like roses, so i thought that kinda sucked. A nice book overall, but if you are looking for a lot of variaty, look someplace else.

Summary: Great stuff!!
Comment: I have some ink on me and am planning to have my back done. This book is full of some of the best designs I have seen!
It has a Celtic section that has some of the best designs. It also has a section of some good ole' fashioned classic designs as well.
I recommend this book for the sheer art value alone!

Summary: What a waste.
Comment: I personally think this is a waste. I bought this from a Books-A-Million for about nine bucks. It was on sale and it was in plastic packaging,
I thought it would be worth it by looking at the size.
Most of the concepts, which are nothing special, look like they'd be in a child's colouring book. It was a huge let down as far as a concept book goes. The designs look the same with a few different details. It's not worth wasting your money on.

Summary: Good source of design ideas
Comment: Lora S. Irish is a talented artist and this plain book is a nice step-stone for designers and other artists to glean ideas, and not just for tattoos. As a matter of fact, I don't really think the designs in the book are very contemporary as far as body-art designs go today. While not the most complicated set of designs, she shows very well how to increase their complexity and interest. Her line-drawings are supplemented by shaded drawings which illustrate how the design can be embellished and come to life. As a reference or guide, this book is very useful. It is rather thick to be copied or scanned and you will have to either remove the pages or break the back to successfully do either, unless you are hand-copying with transfer paper.

I highly recommend it as an addition to your design-source library for pyrography (wood burning), carving, painting, and yes, even for a tattoo.

Summary: Do not buy this book
Comment: This book is a totally waste of paper, time and money. Is one of the most awful books I have acquired. Is not really a tattoo book. It is more like a kindergarden "color the figures" books. I want my money back!!!!!!!!!!
