The Mammoth Book of Tattoos: 500+ Designs & Styles by Lal Hardy - Ultimate Tattoo Inspiration Guide for Artists & Enthusiasts | Perfect for Tattoo Parlors, Art Studios & Personal Collections

This book contains 72 artists in all spread over 447 pages. Each artist has one page describing how they got started in tattooing/why they got interested/personal background, and then a few pages showing examples from their portfolio. Each portfolio shows pictures of tattoos ranging from full body to small tattoos. All pictures are on real people and are shown on a black background. There is a wide range of tattoo styles shown in the book, from cartoon-y to very realistic portrayals. At the back there is a list of their respective websites so you can check out more of their stuff. The content of the book IS quite interesting and I would buy from this company again if there is more content like this.However, the binding is terrible. I flicked through the pages (carefully!) over the course of two nights when I first received it. That next morning when I went to move the book, the pages felt bottom heavy, and that was because the binding is basically gone. The pages are now stuck together very flimsily and I have to be VERY gentle with it in order for it to stay together. The binding looks like very basic glue, so no wonder. I wish it was bound better, because I really do like the content.
