There is hidden, powerful wisdom in tattoos. Did you ever think of your tattoo as a charged body talisman or a portal into your spiritual self? Ancient cultures practicing shamanic tattooing laid the groundwork for our modern exploration of consciousness.

I didn't really care for Barretta's last book "The Book of Transformation" but "Conscious Ink" was superb. It was really an uplifting book.
I suppose what stuck me most was the courage and strength the woman, Anita, who had cancer and mastectomies. There is a picture of her with her tattoos covering her scars. I just hope that I have enough courage to face adversity as she did.
There are several stories detailing what a person's tattoos mean to them and I found them very moving. Barretta also covers topics like symbolism, chakras, magic, and more.
All in all, it is an excellent book. I give it 4 stars.

Great insight, helped me recognize the unconscious intent in previous tattoos and why a particular tattoo has jumped into my consciousness at this time. I found the content to be slightly repetitive and felt this could have been a tighter book, perhaps a long form article.

Muy interesante, aunque lo considero una lectura de consulta más que de entretenimiento.
