A very comprehensive read for anyone interested in the process of getting a tattoo or piercing. Includes lots of advice about styles, placement on body, what to look for in a practitioner, and aftercare. If you've ever had a tattoo or piercing go wrong or not look quite right, this book will tell you what went wrong and how to mitigate it happening again.
