by Aviva Yael (Author), P.M. Chen (Author)
This insanely hilarious book examines the greatest development of human artistic expression in the last century: the objectively awful tattoo.
Our fearless authors went to tattoo conventions and studios all over the country looking for the cream of the crap. They interviewed all kinds of tattoo artists, from neighbourhood shop owners who do mostly religious portraits (like the uber-popular 'Gangsta Jesus') to highly-paid celebrity tattoo artists known for their elaborate designs and artistic skills (anyone want a life-sized tattoo of Oprah's face on their back?) This book shows the absolute best of the absolute worst tattoos across America.
NO REGRETS features full-colour photographs throughout, a foreword by David Cross and a super-hip design. It makes the perfect impulse buy and, with its biting captions, an obvious purchase for Vice-crowd hipsters, tattoo afficionados, and anybody who likes a good laugh and/or scare.
