 GREAT APPRENTICE BOOK Jun 30, 2009
I'm not an apprentice tattooer but I bought this book because I own the other two in this series. I wish I had this when I first started out! It would have saved me lots of headaches and lots of money on supplies I didn't need! Answers a lot of questions an apprentice will have. This is a great book that should be read by every apprentice.
An exceptional book for beginners Feb 25, 2009
Aside from the poor grammar and typos in this book (This book really should be proof-read before it goes to additional printings), Mr. Alayon shares a wealth of information here. His writing style works as if he is there with you, showing you how this craft is done. Helpful photos and even a page or two of "practice flash" are included. Anyone who is new to the art of tattooing will definitely benefit from this book.

This is great buy!! Feb 12, 2009
I have ordered all three of his books. This books is his second book. It follows up on all the things he missed in his last book. So if you read his first book and had a lot of questions, this one will sum it all up for you. This book is great for people like me who have a hard time getting an apprenticeship. It will help you build your portfolio so that it will be a lot easier when you do get one, and he tells you a lot about the things you need to watch your back for. The grammar isn't perfect, and the book isn't quite the traditional style of writing, but WHO CARES! His writing makes it way easier to read because he writes as if he speaking directly to you. I do agree with some however that he doesn't teach every little thing and that an apprenticeship is necessary, but he helps you take your first big step into the tattooing world. I am very thankful that he wrote his books. Its a very helpful guide for us newbies in the tattooing world.

 sometimes a little information can be dangerous Jan 06, 2009
well, what the world needs is more how to books for that leave out the important parts and assume everyone has the same understanding of simple concepts. I wonder if you can learn to cut hair or become a dentist from a book like this? For backyard scab vendors this will surely be a big hit... read slow and look up the big words in the dictionary.
