I liked how each individual's thoughts were handwritten -- I just wish that something could have been done about the spelling/typographical errors. If one more person said "My tattoo's [sic:] mean everything to me," I would have screamed. It's basic grammar people!
I thought this was clever. I really like that each story was even in the own writing of ther person who's portrait was on the opposite page. I found the interviews interesting and it was all around an ejoyable read. I'd recomend it to anyone of my friends interested in the tattoo world
The stories in this book about the tattoos they have were so intriguing. The art was awesome, too.
I don't have tattoos, but damn this book made me want them. I loved seeing the huge expanse of creativity, as well as people's stories. This is such a personal form of art, and the stories ranged from the intense, to the specific, to the dedicated.
The best part about this book for me is the wide variety of tattoos and stories. There are beautiful full-back pieces to little doodles on feet and hands. The stories range from drunken mistakes to stories of love and loss. Great book. My favorite of all tattoo books/magazines that I've owned. Such a work of art!
Tattoos, like books tell us stories of love, hope, and grief. In addition to the emotions that they are able to express, ink also narrates a day when getting a tattoo just seemed like the right thing to do. It’s the history and the desire to write that history on the body that makes tattoos so fascinating. There has been a lot of coverage on the topic, but Permanence: Tattoo Portraits, put out by Chronicle Books is the first of its kind. Author Kip Fulbeck has provided readers with a book that o...
This non fiction book is a compilation of people's tattoos and their stories behind them. Even though there is not much writing i still found the book incredibly interesting and very informing into why people get tattooed.
his is a collection of tattoo art and brief interviews with the tattooed, talking about why they chose to get tattooed and what their tattoos mean to them. Some of the tats are truly beautiful – there’s one in particular that I liked, which was done in black ink and featured Japanese style cherry blossoms scattered over the tattooee’s back. Skin makes for an interesting canvas. A lot of the colorful tattoos seem like overkill – too much tattoo – and so many of them aren’t at all appealing to me....
4.5 stars. I love tattoos so of course I loved this. Man, some people are crazy. The ones I found the most interesting were the people who didn’t have many tattoos, like me, because there’s a more defined meaning behind the tattoos and, visually, they stand out a lot more when they’re not surrounded by other tattoos they can blend into. I thought it was super interesting how everyone had their own way of talking about their tattoos. Some people gave the reason why they got the tattoo, others gav...
Things that I liked about this book: the way each person writes up their own tattoo story, the diversity in age, race, and gender of subjects, the different handwriting styles, the pictures.Things I could have done without: The constant condescension toward people getting tattoos that popped up in each tattoo artist’s interview as well as the foreword. We get it. You’ve been into tattoos and tattooing since you could walk. That’s awesome. But people who just decided to get a tattoo because their...
Six tattoos that stood out to me.1. A old couple who is very much in love decided to tatoo their entire bodies alll the way to the toes.2. Another full body tatooer is s a man who did all his under the influence of LSD.3. A young attractive woman who looks like a person who would never get a tatoo yet she had a huge tasteful picture of a young girl dancing through the rain4. A survivor of breast cancer had a large tattoo that wrapped around her body to symbolize her life story.5. Brock Lesner a
