World of Tattoo
Seems to provide a decent overview of tattoo tradition in many different cultures, however the chapter on tattoos in Japan and China (which is my principal area of interest) is extremely shallow and full of cliches and stereotypes. It generally raises a big red flag when a text about tattoos and Japan opens with a paragraph on the yakuza. The pictures are nice, though.
