Trade Review
“Lavish illustrations make it a great resource for anyone contemplating some new body ink, or who is curious about tattoo history and the meaning behind the hearts, devils, and animals snaking over the communal epidermis...The Language of Tattoos is an entertaining field guide to the expanding tattoo tapestry that surrounds us.”
* Foreword Reviews *
"FIVE STARS. Regardless of the reader’s initial preference about tattoos, reading The Language of Tattoos might change some minds or at least serve as a beacon of knowledge." * Manhattan Book Review *
