Great for beginers
This book is great for beginers like me who are taking interest in the art of tattooing. Easy to follow instructions is exellent. I did my first tattoo after I read the book.

The greatest book out there for beginners.
This book covers all the things that one is afraid to ask in risk of sounding stupid.
But I am a total amateur. I Have never picked up a tattoo machine before and my closest contact to one was when getting tattooed. So I was left in the dark a bit on ultra basic things like how to set up the clip cord on the machine and such.
Aside from that Erick did a great job putting it all out there for the aspiring tattooer. He speaks in layman terms, shares great tips and walks you through the entire process very thoroughly.
I highly recommend this book to all beginners.

crafty
The book was good, but not for me I already knew most of the things in it. Their are some small details that will help me, and I'm sure it could help alot of others. The best part of this book is the authors reading suggestions, also I bought his more advanced book as well and am about to read that.
