Basic Fundamentals of Modern Tattoo Review[/caption]
Tattoo Text
September. 17, 2013
By: UCTattoos
This review is for: Basic Fundamentals of Modern Tattoo by C.R. Jordan
I first want to mention that this text is not a replacement for a formal apprenticeship. It is rather a tool to be used in conjunction with a formal apprenticeship. Also, tattoo radar, and Basic Fundamentals of Modern Tattoo are in no way, shape, or form endorsed, paid by, biased, or in any way swayed by any tattoo, or tattoo supply company. My reviews—and the information expressed in the text—are personal opinion using factual information gathered. In the case of the text information gained from C.R. Jordan’s apprenticeships, and personal experience over his years in the tattoo industry as an innovator, and tattoo artist.
This was purchased from www.tattoobooksonline.com from C.R. Jordan. I read this text in one sitting. By no means did I skim through it, or read it quickly. I took a solid ten hours to read all 240 pages of the text. The first thing I noticed when I received this text was the quality. The book itself is made of a very good quality—what seems like plastic—cover, and the paper thickness is very nice. Not super thing like you would see most paper backs these days. There are also graphics for the individual chapters in the text, as well as graphics for the Tattoo Tips within. It also comes with a serial number on the cover which can be put in on the website www.TeachMeToTattoo.com/register.
This is a very well written text. I say text instead of book as that is what it is referred to inside. It is also very much like a text book. This text covers everything from a bit about the author, a great intro, sanitation, machine building and tuning, to even money! The language in the text is also very easy to understand plain English. Even when technical/medical terms are used they are normally explained in an easy to understand manner. It also has an informal feel with the way the information is given. This gives you a sense of ease, and lax while reading. You get a relaxed feeling rather than that of being in school.
There are thirteen chapters in this text including an introduction, and a works cited. It totals 240 pages, with medium font size. There are also images to use as examples, as well—in one part—images of a tattoo from start to finish. Each chapter—for the most part—has subchapters within. The order in which each chapter—and subchapter—are given is in order of importance. For example it obviously starts with the Introduction, then Sanitation immediately after. There is even a chapter on customer comfort, and customer care! Heck, there is even a page for mentor notes!
The main thing that is stressed in this text is how there are no right or wrong ways of tattooing. As tattooing is an art form there are very many personal flares that each artist has that gives them their own personal way of doing things. There is strict theory on why things do what they do, but how they do it is up to you as long as you are slinging quality ink, and doing it in a safe, sterile, and respectful manner. Another thing that is stressed is how this is mainly an apprentice accompaniment tool. You cannot read this text, and start tattooing like a pro, or open your own shop. You still should go out and find an apprenticeship, and learn from an experienced mentor.
It is difficult to review this product, as there is just so much information within. I would need to write a novela just to properly review this product in detail. However, I can’t do that. I can say I am very happy with this text, and it does give some of the best information I have found to date. Literally all the fundamentals are in this text. There is even a section on blood borne pathogens, and the steps you can take to prevent them.
As fantastic as this text is it is not without it’s minor flaws. The biggest being that it is in grey scale. This may have just been to make it more cost effective for the buyer; I am not sure. I think a few of the images in the text could have made a bigger impact if they were in color. More specifically the section that shows the tattoo process from start to finish. Being a tattoo artist myself I could tell what information was trying to be brought to light, but it may not be so easy for a newcomer to the industry. I also noticed a few grammatical mistakes, and word choices. However, this could mainly be due to the fact that it is an American text, and I am Canadian. It is nothing major to bring down the quality of the text. Maybe a missing comma here, wrong tense of a word there. I think I saw maybe five or six in the entire 240 pages.
All in all Basic Fundamentals of Modern Tattoo by C.R. Jordan (www.tattoobooksonline.com) is a fantastic, and extremely informative text. If you are an apprentice I definitely recommend this text, or even if you are planning on getting an apprenticeship. Read through this book once, maybe even twice. Then once more slowly taking notes as you go along. This book gets a solid 5 out of 5. The quality, information, and how the information is given is extremely top notch, and you won’t find much better out there! Get this book. You won’t regret it.

I did great book. I bought on amazon actually. I also read Tattooing from A-Z Huck Spaulding. Both are great books. I think yours had more up to date information & more on machine tuning.
While you can’t really find a legit download of the amazing tattoo instructional book that shows you how to tune your tattoo machine, and tattoo yourself… you can get it for way cheaper than the list price on this website. Just check out Amazon.com – here is the most recent review for this tattoo education apprenticeship book:
