 Look no further.. April 17, 2009

I usually don't like 'flash tattoo' books of any sort. Unless it's a very genre specific book with very high quality photos like
Bushido : Legacies of the Japanese Tattoo by Takahiro Kitamura.
Mammoth Tattoos is not a collection for the 'I must get this tattoo for my next inking' folks... Leave that for the flash books and various tattoo magazines out there.
Unlike all those though--The Mammoth Book Of Tattoos had me floored as I had never before seen such a staggeringly fresh and inspirational collection of art on almost every page. And certainly every genre. Each artist and their art represented by very high quality photos. I had to pick what I didn't like and came up with three out of the 80 artists represented.
This really is a fascinating (coffee-table/reference)book for anyone who appreciates graphic design, classic and modern and yes art which only happens to be on an epidermal canvas.
Huge help in planning/designing first tattoo June 30, 2009

I've been planning for my first tattoo since booking my appointments with my chosen artist 3 months in advance (since he was booked up that far out). This book really helped me consider the design/content I will have custom drawn, not only because of the large number of tattoo's shown in this book by top artists, but also because the Japanese tattooing style is very well represented (which is what I am getting). I also liked that there were quite a few large tattoos in this book, and not just full of smaller shoulder-sized tattoos.
There are also other styles represented, but I would say 40% of the book is Japanese style tattoos. To me it has been invaluable, and given the inexpensive cost, would be worth having for the seriously tattoo'ed as well as the tattoo admirerer as an eclectic coffee table book (although there's some nudity in it, so keep that in mind for the under 18 crowd).
Great Art Work August 23, 2009

I Loved this book, it is just pictures of really good tattoos of many different styles, sizes, and artist. Really good quality quality pictures where taken so you are able to see every detail. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

you don't need anything else but this book! If you are considering to have another tattoo, or if you're looking for your first tattoo, there are too many designs, you don't want to pick just one! if you are in love with the body art, have this with you.
awesome photos December 21, 2009

Awesome photos of great tattoo work, with short bios about the artist, thats what I wanted and thats what I got. If you like to look at top quality Tattoos, this is the book. I have and continue to enjoy it.
