this book is pretty awful – - we had it at a shop i used to work in, and it usually didn’t take clients more than a minute of looking at it before they put it away.
it’s just kind of boring, nothing in it i could see wanting to tattoo on myself, lacking in inspiration, like a really plain, uninventive, blank coloring book.
pay the money for a book of flash – - you really can’t go wrong seeking out original, beautiful flash by established artists. amazon actually has a lot to offer in that department, more than they used to. as far as what amazon can sell you, the sailor jerry flash books volumes one and two, and Don Ed Hardys tattoo flash book remain the gold standard.
get those instead.
