Title: High Voltage Tattoo
Author: Kat Von D
Published: 2008
I have finally read this book. It was a birthday gift my sister gave to me and boy this book was AWESOME!
It gives a really good insight as to what to expect and feel about getting a tattoo, not only that but the art that is showcased and how there are many different messages behind the tattoo.
I honestly could not let this book down, it was in my purse every single time I left my door step, not only that but reading the book was a piece of cake, it was something that I was reading on the bus, on the subway,EVERYWHERE!
Although reading this book, gave people a lot of stares, it was a inspiration not only to get a tattoo but, to think about what will be the story behind the ink.
Kat gives an insight as to how to act and what to look for in tattoo artist and what to look for in a tattoo shop. One thing that stood out is that Kat stated that you should be willing to travel for a tattoo (I think that is what she said).
Not only does Kat give you an insight on tattoo etiquette but, she also takes you to a time line of her life, all her struggles and different varieties of life that she has experienced within her tattooing career.
Kat Von D's- High Voltage Tattoo is fill with multi coloured photos of sleeves, photos from her past, her own art work, art work of other tattoo artists, and so much more.
I do not know how much this book was but, it was the most amazing purchase that someone could have made for me. Trust me, if it's not a gift for a friend, buy it yourself cause you will definitely be inspired!
