Ho, ho, ho, ow, ow, ow? (Holiday gift suggestions, part 1)
Tattooed people tend to be rugged individualists, right? So we don’t need no steenkin’ shoppin’ at all… right?
No, I didn’t think so either.
Following my personal philosophy of think… plan… go for it, I present a few suggestions for yourselves or for that multicolored Someone Else. I haven’t read all of these myself, but I plan to. If you’ve read them, I hope you’ll give me a book review in the comments.

hi… thank you for recommending The Total Tattoo Book… Im Amy, Im the author and Im now working on an update of the book.. (finally… its been in print over 13 1/3 years).
Again, glad people still find the book of use…
It’s a thrill and an honor to hear from you! I bought your book before I ever got inked–it really helped me think clearly about what I wanted. I will definitely buy the update when it comes out!
