Book Reviews of Ink: The Not-Just-Skin-Deep Guide to Getting a Tattoo

Book Review: For beginners
Summary: 4 Stars

It's a fine book if you really are nervous about your first, but if you already have one much of the text will be unnecessary.

It does tell you about looking for a shop and how to compare artists on more than just price. Plus, it gently reminds you to really consider a tattoos permanence.
