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.
The designs are all very small. 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.
I got this for my friend who does tattoos and he LOVES it!!!! There are so many different designs in this book. Skulls, faries, hearts, arm band designs, animals, you name it, it's in there! The pictures are great quality as well.
This book is alright if you like child like cartoon images. Don't get me wrong, there are a few awesome images in there, but nothing like the ones on their website that you can buy. My husband was very disappointed in this book. He should of listened to me and picked another book, but he insisted on me ordering this one for him. All though he did get a laugh out of 1 of the fairy pics. It does have animal pics in there but you would be better off getting a different book if you want a good one. Very disappointed in this book. If you like girls, there are tons of those and humming birds as well. If you are looking for wolves or tigers there are a couple to choose from, but not very many. There are decent armband tattoo pics in here, he liked several of those.
Although not all genres are in the book, its packed with designs and etc that can easily have transfer paper put on it and be done with it. Very nice very colorful, its better than I thought . yes there are many smaller tats in the book, but there is an enlarger option for printing things out
You don't have to be a tattoo artist to find this book useful. I am a professional face painter and I use this book for inspiration all the time. The book is divided up in categories making it really easy to find what you want. It's filled with great art and I couldn't believe how low the price was. I'd buy this book for someone just getting into drawing or face painting.
I have been a professional tattoo artist for roughly 9 years now. 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!
This is a flash art book which means it contains all pictures and no words. 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.
