 Yeah it has some great reference material in it, although it is only a small book in size, about 6" x 10" I think...https://www.hyperspacestudios.com/scratch-art.html

Thanks for writing this post, I've been around shops for 10 years and just now making the transition from machinist to tattooing, I even have an apprenticeship offer- 6 hours away in my hometown. Due to the economy, and waiting to see what happens as a result of the election( I'm currently employed by a defense contractor), it will be close to a year before I can even think about moving myself and my wife. So about six months ago, my mentor and I agreed I could start doing simple stuff, assuming I followed BBP procedures, out here to get a feel for it. I've paid for Spaulding's book, The Ultimate Tattoo Bible, about 3 E-books, the list is endless. The point is you're right, all these books are crap, I spend as much time cross checking with my mentor all the shit they recommend. I was very leary to pay 100 bones again for a reference book, but all the reviews have changed my mind, and even got me excited about it. This forum has been a godsend, although I'm constantly running into posts of issues which I already learned the hard way, this place is great, and I only wish I had known about it sooner.

This book differs from everything on the market, because is trying to make the reader thinks with his own head. All other books are more or less instructional.

guy is such a refreshing and inspirational addition to the tattoo industry, im tellin ya. he really made a great book that opened my eyes as well, and really just got me thinking more in an artists point of view, as well as almost an architectural way of looking at it. i HIGHLY suggest this book to new and experienced artists alike.

I have seen that there is a new 2nd edition, just been released. its a whopping $250,- but if I must believe it's as good as everybody say's it is, it should be 2 and a half times better too. Every thing is full color now, and comes with DVD. Can't wait to see one in the flesh.
