Book Review: Vintage Tattoos, by Carol Clerk
This weekend, while looking for a new book to read, I came across this really cool book about Vintage Tattoos I think you should all know about. I’m sure I’ve seen this book before, to be honest- but I saw it in HMV, where a lot of the time I ignore the tattoo-related books, because … Read more
Review: Body Art
This week the lovely people at Titan Books sent me a book to review called Body Art, which is a book from the makers of Bizarre. I’ve seen these things on the shelves before from Bizarre, though this is the first Titan edition. Titan will also be re-issuing the previous Body Art books too, from … Read more
Book Review: The Mammoth Book of Tattoo Art
I promised you two book reviews this week, and two you will get. Today, I managed to get through Lal Hardy’s brand new book, The Mammoth Book of Tattoo Art. In a word, it’s fabulous. But I know you’re not here for just one word. This book follows on the same sort of format his … Read more
Book Review: My Vida Loca, Vol. 2
Philadelphia Eddie’s second book has been sat on my desk for a couple of weeks now, and it’s been painful to be so busy that I couldn’t review it. Thankfully, today I can let you all know how I found it. This is the second volume of Eddie’s books: ‘My Vida Loca’, or ‘Tattooing: the … Read more

New Website: Tattoo Road Trip
There’s a new kid in town, and I’m already jealous. This the new website by Bob Baxter shares the name of his book, which looks at tattoos all over America and Canada, so I guess it’s safe to assume this site will work towards the same theme. As you can see, it looks beautiful, … Read more
Love the Fingerstache, Hate the permanence? Don’t sweat it, we’ve got just the thing for you…
I’ve lost count of how many people I’ve seen with Fingerstaches. One side of me can’t stand them- they seem a little like a “trend” (a word I hate to use while talking about tattoos), and a bit pointless unless you plan on holding your finger under your nose all day. The other side of … Read more
Job Interview? Ink Armour has you Covered!
We’ve all done it- you’ve landed a great job interview, chosen your outfit, planned what you’ll say, and then it hits you… will by tattoos be an issue? Unfortunately, some employers still prefer tattoos to be covered (and this is fine really, by the way, most have good reasons), but some of us have a … Read more
Is Angel the Youngest Tattoo Blogger In the World? Probably!
When I was 10, I was spending my time collecting Pokemon cards, pretending I could skate like a pro and watching Thundercats religiously. Angel, on the other hand, is a lot cooler than me. This plucky 10 year old is already a tattoo blogger, with her own website, Tattoo Sprout! Angel’s mam is Kristel Oreto, … Read more
A Night Out at the Circus
I have a treat for you guys today! The following post is by a good friend of mine, Loz Turlington, and her adventures at this year’s Bizarre Ball which took place over the weekend. Loz is a great writer, and it’s great to have this up on the site. This won’t be the last your … Read more
Evolution of a Backpiece
This is my favourite website that I’ve found today- the Evolution of a backpiece. The basic idea is, this awesome woman you see above you, whose name is Sarah, is documenting the progression of a wicked backpiece by Stephanie Tamez. It’s really cool to see the piece come together, as well as some things up … Read more
2010’s Peterlee Convention
This review is belated, to say the least. My apologies for that- I’d explain why, but it’s all very boring and deals with permissions and things! Better late than never, eh? The Peterlee Tattoo Convention has found great success over the past seven years. Held at the end of March every year, the show sees … Read more
The Tattoo Bible: Review and Interview with Alex Guest!
As you may be aware, The Tattoo Bible, by Alex Guest, was released to the general public today. The book, which is from the makers of Skin Deep magazine, does exactly what it says on the tin: inside is everything you need to know about getting a tattoo, going to a convention and brushing up … Read more
Jeremy Swan and a Kat Von D make up the new iPhone Applications
Two new iPhone applications just hit Tattoosday UK yesterday. One is the new Tattoo Ink: Hollywood, which bears a striking resemblance to the career of Kat Von D, and the other is iTattoo, by Guinness World Record Holder Jeremy Swan. We’ve taken a good look at them, so you don’t have to. I know, we’re … Read more
