Review # 1 was written on 2019-11-03 00:00:00 Spiros Liosis Who you are/ What you stand for/ On your skin/ If you like ---forever/ As someone with a number of tattoos (11 at last count) I was very interested in the history of tattoos.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-01-27 00:00:00 Daniel Kamen This book was originally published in the 1930's and it's view points reflect that. It is a delightfully entertaining read with insights into the early culture and heritage of tattooing in the United States that can not be recreated post era. However I would admonish the reader to make sure that this book is not to be taken as a current understanding of tattooing and it's practices today but as a historical record of the theories, practices and stories of the time.
