Tattoo literature

Would anyone like to suggest any book books which they have seen/read which basically gives you a rundown of everything about tattoo's? I know I can just google it but I don;t know the difference between a good tattoo guide and a bad one. Thanks, Dermot.

I have two books at home, the tatoo bible and also the tattoo encyclopedia, the bible shows tattoos but the encyclopedia explains the imagery of tattoos.
Neither of them will teach you what a good tattoo is.
However if you are interested I suggest that you go to www.tattooz.net and read the Art&website critique forum for about a month, watch what the pros there say about the pieces that are posted, after a while you will get to see what they are talking about, that's basically how I learned it.
