007 said beautiful book. I got this book as a gift for an artist who is now working on tattoo art. He loves the book! He disappeared for an hour at a time over Christmas to read.his parents didn't know I gave it to him.He said he was familiar with some of the artists featured & loved being able to learn more about them. The pictures were professionally done & quite lovelyeven if one is not "into" tattoos on this level..
