 Still looking for better book March 5, 2010
C. Horen (Colorado Springs)
This is a very mixed bag of a book and unevenly weighted in concepts. Too many of one thing and not enough of others. The animal section is a complete waste of time unless you like ducks and pheasant. Most of the four-legged animals are out of proportion. If you are looking for good representations of bison, big cats, wolves or elk, please look somewhere else. The Celtic section is very good, except, as has been noted above...way too many crosses. I realize that one person cannot anticipate what everyone else needs or wants, but I felt there could have been more of a balance in what was portrayed. I feel I wasted my money, and am still looking for a good book on tattoo line art.
 Tattoo Designs for leather crafting February 26, 2010
Mark C. Hall (Shafter, CA USA)
I acquired this book with the intent of getting leather crafting ideas for tooling. It has certainly meet that need. As tattoo as very two dimensional in application, it is difficult for this individual to visualize the impact of a 3-D relief. However, the designs offered vary significantly from traditional leather carving patterns. This will provide for some uniquely tooled projects.
Terrible tattoo designs from a woodcarver! December 18, 2009

It is painfully obvious that Ms. Irish is not a tattoo artist. In fact, she is a wood carver, and has written many books about that. Well, I am here to tell you that woodcarving designs do NOT make for good tattoo designs. I have been a tattoo artist for ten years, and I can say this book contains some of the worst art I have seen in quite a while. The line drawings are poorly executed, with very thick lines, which look suspiciously like 14th century woodcuts. I wonder why.
The designs depicted in this book are poorly drawn and unrealistically shaded. If you want realism in your tattoo design, then this is the worst place to look.
I have no idea how this book actually found a publisher.
A nice book, but.... October 6, 2008

I ordered this book thinking it would have tons of different tattoo ideas. While it does, it has a lot of the same thing. Like 40 pages of the "Green Man." I dont see many tattoos of the green man, and to have 40 pages of it...also they have lighthouses?...well, draw your own conclusions. The dragons are really cool, but so many of the wildlife ones are for painting, not really tattoo quality. And the symbols section leaves a lot to be desired. Lots of crosses, which is fine, but nothing for modern symbols.And lastly the floral section. Only one rose, which i really like roses, so i thought that kinda sucked. A nice book overall, but if you are looking for a lot of variaty, look someplace else.
