review 1: A marginally entertaining book if you have time on your hands and there is nothing more substantial to read. It's sad how mainstream tattoo culture has become in our society. There is nothing rebellious, outlaw or dangerous about it anymore, and it can be bought and acquired at any mall or retail outlet, as this book demonstrates aptly. Celebrities with book deals are getting very played out. This book doesn't tell a story, it just meanders through various vignettes, trying to seem deep by adopting some dark, quasi-outsider, antiestablishment poses. I also have to say that I'm tired of books whose graphics are laid out to look like a wanted poster from 1836. Enough, already. The author seems like an awesome person with a lot to say, and it's a shame this book is so shallow... more and meaningless. If I were a celebrity with a commodity to market, I would do my damnedest to avoid this kind of useless overexposure. If you're in your basement, waiting to transfer your laundry from the washer into the dryer, this is the book for you, (provided nothing better is around).
review 2: What's not to love? I love Kat, and I really enjoy her work as well as her exploration of self. She's a normal, anxiety- ridden chick, and I totally relate to and respect that. Ink as artwork has become my favorite form of expression to study. I see myself being more heavily tattooed each year, and I enjoy paying homage to my journey and my loves. Kat is an excellent artist, and a fun person to watch and learn from. She doesn't always make the best personal decisions, but eh... Who does? less
