 This is a Must Have Book
This is a great reference book for any tattoo artist to own, but it's a must have for any apprentice. The author explains concisely just how everything works-your machines, your needles, etc- every technical aspect of the craft. Where he does gives his artistic opinions and preferences he states just that-these are HIS preferences- and encourages you to develop your own. There are many years of working experience all packed into this one book and that's hard to come by, but it's also entertaining. For anyone interested in tattooing, it's a great addition to your book collection.
 Great start
this book is easy reading, straight to the point.It has a great deal of information on tuning tattoo machines that you simply don't find out there. very informative. A little more on tattooing itself would have made this book top knoch, though the best book Ive read on tattooing.
Info you won't find elsewhere
I just got this book and think it is absolutley fabulous. I taught myself to tatttoo and wish I had this book before I started on my own. The technical info on the operation of the tattoo gun, as it pertains to the application of ink is, detailed and understandable. For me the grammar and spelling errors were minor and did not detract from the understanding of the material presented. I would recomend this book to anyone who has an interest in the process of tattooing, as a practitioner or admirer of tattoo art.
Good book
I have both of Ericks books.(Have not read his last one.)Have learned a lot. And he is a good writer, both educational and funny. A must have for the aspiring tattooartist.
Not great, but definitely good...
This book has some good information on machines that would probably take forever otherwise to learn. It is by no means comprehensive but I think it's a good starting point for any beginner tattoo artist, like myself, as it goes over a wide range of things from machines and their parts to preventing cross contamination. The poor grammer was a little distracting for me because that sort of thing drives me nuts. There was a lot of "your" instead of "you're" and "there" instead of "their", etc. If you can look past it then you'll be fine!
