 book Sep 17, 2008
Excellent book. Had question so emailed author. Received good responce in short time. Delivery was quick.
A good introduction and I reply to other reviews Aug 30, 2008
This is a great book that is written from a very straight forward point of view. I agree with the previous review regarding the misspelled words, poor grammar, and illusions of being a misguided republican, but Erick Alayon offers good information and great advice for those of us that are just beginning in this field. Grammar is sort of subjective anyway. Who cares what his political affiliations are, we should all be a little different from each other. As always, check advice with your apprenticing master (Boss) or teacher. Read this book. Alayon writes like a "real guy" offering "Real advice."
This book recommends that students of tattoo should learn another subject while tattooing and this is an example of the great advice offered in this book. Great idea! Students and hobbyists should read Ayalon's books and thank him for writing them. I recommend this book. Buy this book, take notes, mark it up, digest it, recommend it to friends, apply the knowledge and use the advice.
Also check out his "Myspace."

The greatest book out there for beginners. Jun 04, 2008
This book covers all the things that one is afraid to ask in risk of sounding stupid.
But I am a total amateur. I Have never picked up a tattoo machine before and my closest contact to one was when getting tattooed. So I was left in the dark a bit on ultra basic things like how to set up the clip cord on the machine and such.
Aside from that Erick did a great job putting it all out there for the aspiring tattooer. He speaks in layman terms, shares great tips and walks you through the entire process very thoroughly.
I highly recommend this book to all beginners.

Good buy! Apr 19, 2008
I bought this book a few months ago and I have read it a couple times. I have also spoken to Erick via "MySpace" about a few things I still did not understand, He was very helpful and cool about answering all my questions.
I have no formal training or opportunity for training and this book has helped me to do a total of 17 tattoos so far. Which have turned out very well actually.

 Unprofessional in every sense. Jan 24, 2008
An easy read that can be finished in an hour due to its massive type size, the author includes hygenically questionable practices ranging from using hair-elactics for bands and meat-packing paper for bandages. A glossary of terms helps the reader understand completely unrelated slang such as what to call pretty women that come to your shop. Casualy written and easy going, it's also the only book I've ever read that includes a sideways winking smiley ;) in a paragraph.
