If you’re interested in tattoos - getting one, the tattoo process, curious about the various styles, or a fan of artist Megan Massacre - you’ll enjoy this book. I never heard of Megan before reading her book. A quick read, with loads of photos of her work.
Will make you want to get a tattoo, for sure!

Megan Massacre is one of my favourite tattoo artists around and reading about her process was really fun and interesting. It wasn't too technical for the uninitiated and it wasn't dumbed down either. And I particularly loved the "hall of fame" gallery of tattoos she's done. Absolutely beautiful.
