Some snippets from eMails:

“..Hi Charles, I received the new book, thank you! I have not seen a tattoo book quite like it and look forward…”

“ Out of the recent books I’ve reviewed, yours is by far the best one I’ve seen on the topic and subject. I will be recommending it to all my friends. Thanks.”

“Oh yeah, I couldn’t put it down, it really answered some serious questions. ”

“I write blogs, I’ll post another review on my official blog, and even on a music blog I run. I definitely enjoyed it, so it’s a worthwhile product recommendation for sure…”

 

Remember to check out www.MyFirstTattoo.info (which is still being updated / built / whatever) but it will have some news on there about the book!

 

Amazon.com Review:

A Comprehensive Look At Tattoos Before and After You Get One or Many

If you have ever wanted to get a tattoo, and weren’t 100% sure about all the different things that will come with it, you now have a book that you can read that will help you solidify the notion. I was surprised when I got this book at how down to earth and easy to read it is. It’s a full book, not a pamphlet, not a quick write up by some hack, it’s well thought out and showcases a great deal of questions and answers that the common person will in fact ask a tattoo artist.

C.R. Jordan has done a great deal of work to make sure that this is not a fluff piece. It details everything from what design to get, what the needles entail, the past, present, and future of anything that you want to get on your body.

Jordan covers health, practical advice, whether it will hurt, what to watch out for and how to select the right artist. There’s an exhaustive amount of questions in here for the person that isn’t quite sure that this is what they want to have done. Even if you have a great deal of gusto and you’re going to go in tomorrow, read this book first. You may find yourself more educated about what you’re going to step into.

It is not something that will detract you, and will definitely help you get something that will be memorable. It’s sobering to see such honest in this writing. There’s 358 pages, it’s a hefty paperback, and throughout the 11 chapters, you never really feel it. I spent more time reading through this than I did working on my other projects. It’s quite a fascinating read, and it really is in conversational English, not some medical book or high and mighty authorship. It’s there that makes this so wonderful. It is something that I’m going to be recommending to just about anyone.

My favorite chapter is definitely Chapter 9, The Money. This is the hang up that I previously had, but now I know a lot more. From haggling taboos to deposits, and more. I am definitely much wiser for reading this book, and give it my full recommendation. This is truly a gem of a book and I hope more people pick it up.
