Book Reviews of INKED Inc., Tattooed Professionals
Book Review: Fantastic book!
Summary: 4 Stars
Book is full of fantastic full-color photos and excellent descriptions of the people and their views on their tattoos. Many hide their tattoos at work, but several do not.
The book comprises 15 people and despite 104 pages, is "short" - as it consists almost entirely of photographs (which is good!). The pages are a glossy stock and should last a very long time.
However, despite the excellent photos the book itself is lacking in "execution" - the typeface is unimaginative (and slightly oversized), the layout is uninspiring, and page numbers are too often missing. The book title on the spine is hard to read, as is the subtitle on the cover. The font chosen for the backmatter text made it hard to read. More information about the people and their viewpoints would have been interesting.
The physical book itself appears to be well-made and long-lasting.
This is one book you will want on your coffee-table - it is not a set of in-depth personal biographies, but rather a set of gorgeous photographs good for a sitting.
Summary of INKED Inc., Tattooed Professionals
INKED Inc. challenges your preconceptions with a photographic look at the intersection of bodyart and professional culture. Inside are a series of studio photographs and profiles that juxtapose images of professional people in their normal work clothes with ones in which their extensive bodyart is on display. They include doctors (of both the medical and PhD variety), lawyers, the Ivy-educated and others you'd never expect to have extensive tattoos. INKED Inc. shows how tattoos have transcended boundaries and evolved into a personal statement found in all corners of society. Your doctor may have full sleeves.General Books
