| 87 of 95 people found the following review helpful 3.0 out of 5 stars it's okay but there are better books out there, This review is from: Tattoo Johnny: 3,000 Tattoo Designs (Paperback) first off, i bought this because I am a tattoo artist and I have used Tattoo Johnny's site for references at times as well as clients bringing me in images from that site. I wanted to add this book to my collection, seeing as how some of the designs on there are $10 for just an individual design. This book was under $10 when i bought it - so economically 3,000 designs for $10 instead of 1 design for $10 - just seems logical right. well, i was hoping there would be some Ambigrams in here - but there aren't. Also hoping to see some Graffiti and Tribal - but there is no section dedicated to either genre. There are some tribal designs in the book, but not a tribal section. The categories as follows: Angels & Demons/Animals/Armband, Lower Back, & Belly Designs/Japanese & Asian/Butterflies & Insects/Suns & Moons/Dragons/Fairies/Flowers/Sea Life/Patriotic & Military/Pinups/Religious & Spiritual/Skulls & Horror/Traditional/Zodiac. The book is 351 pages long and 90% of the pics are full color. I was hoping there would be a lil sampling of each genre in here - like ambigrams, lettering, biomech, graffiti, etc but there really isn't. There is a sampling of the categories i referenced above that the book has but these pics are pretty old school - i know some people who would get some of these, but i don't see a whole lot of ppl browsing thru this book like my others... If i knew it was going to be like this, i would of bought a better book. I'm not totally disappointed with it, cuz I am going to use it... but there are better books out there. If Tattoo Johnny comes out with a sequel - i would hope it will have better art in it, plus the other stuff i mentioned - graffiti, biomech, etc.. so far the best book i have come across the is the tattoo encyclopedia - black cover, sells for about $50. best one - doesn't include graffiti either - but there's loads of stuff in it.

Lots of subjects, many styles & artists from the website. This published book was a smart idea from the TattooJohnny team, and a friggin' windfall for the tattoo shop owner & clients alike!

If you are looking for stencils, this book is NOT for you. Amazing artwork. However, like someone else said, you could easily google for these images and get the same thing.

This book was much more affordable then 150 pages of flash :) i personally don't use designs right out of the book, but more of a guide for my customers to look at to see what kind of style and designs they like. I was truly surprised about the quality of this little guy. It even has some Bob Tyrell flash in it! Worth buying just for that alone!

Some pages consist of 50 or so tiny tats, not sure if each one of those counts as one of the 3000 but, anyways the bigger stuff has quite a few usable pieces. Not bad for 8 bucks.

Most of the designs a pretty generic. I would only recommend this book if you have an ongoing collection. If you are just getting into tattooing this isn't the greatest book.

There is an introduction for those who choose to read it, but it is not the point of this book. That being said, I found Tattoo Johnny to be a very good book to have lying around the office. Whether or not you're using this book to choose a tattoo or become inspired to create your own, it is worth a buy as you'll find yourself thumbing through it multiple times. If you are a tattoo artist I guarantee your customers will enjoy this book while they wait. Tattoo Johnny features a multitude of full color, high quality images packed onto every page. The artwork featured is by a select group of artists dubbed by the introduction as some of the pioneers of modern tattooing styles. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews |
