The Little Book of Tattoos

Think you know ink? Think again!

Whether your tattoo is to honour a loved one, to remember an event, to state your beliefs, or simply to look good, there's always more to getting a tattoo than meets the eye. For example, do you know that having a tat links you to a deep and multicultural tradition stretching back thousands of years? Yes, even that one you got as a drunken dare...

From Siberia to Polynesia, tattoos have always been part of human history. Vilified and revered, shunned and celebrated, the history of the tattoo is as colourful and detailed as a master's design. The Little Book of Tattoos is packed with fascinating history, fun facts, quirky quotes, and deep dives into some of the most iconic symbols.

Whether you're a full-on aficionado or cautiously ink-curious, The Little Book of Tattoos is the only guide you need to all things tattoo.
