An illustrated history
Hesselt van Dinter, M.
Despite a growing fascination with tattooing among social scientists – and the popularity of tattoos themselves in general – the practice of tattooing still lacks a comprehensive historical record. Until very recently, there was no good context for writing a serious world history of tattooing. The present volume for the first time manages to convey the richness of the history of tattooing from antiquity to the present day.

I had a look at it today and it is really a must have, even if you would never want a tattoo on your skin, I would’t. The dutch version is out now and soon the first english, german, and french pieces will be printed.
