Nicklombardi Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I love books so much and have a nice growing collection, I'll post a picture of it tomorrow ! I also have some books I'd like to sell so I can make money for new books haha I have the "Milton Zeis tattooing as you like it" book, the paul rogers book from tattoo archive, the Mike Adams book, the book called 1949 which is a book filled with vintage flash from dana brunson collection, and I might be willing to sell my Daniel Higgs the doomsday bonnet but I'm still deciding haha I might have some more to sell too I just have to go threw them again !

purplelace Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Photos of my tattoo/art books, well the ones I could put my hands on. I will take a wee hoak for the others over the weekend and share pics later. Had some renovation work done here and some books were moved to protect them from dust. I also have a pair of small Japanese masks that a friend got me from their visit in Japan many years ago. Will take a photo of those and share later as well. My favourite books have to be my H R Giger books. I have more than the three shown below. My other tattoo books that were on hand. I do a lot of crafting, hence the tattoo books for children. There is a lot of cross-over for me between tattoo ideas and crafting.

Dennis Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Finally scored a copy of Ozuma Kaname's long out of print "Women in Tattoo" book. I've been drooling over it ever since I saw it in Kurt Wiscombe's shop 6 years ago! Can't wait for it to come in! beez and kylegrey 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5564-post-your-book-collection/?page=3#findComment-105678 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smartiestattoo Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I'm yet to invest in a tattoo book collection though they always fascinate me. Any suggestions as a good one to start off with? I'm always hesitant as they're not cheap items to buy on the off chance of it being useful.

Raven Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 My good friend got me 'Bodies of Subversion, A Secret History of Women and Tattoo' by Margot Mifflin for Christmas. I wasn't expecting it. Amazing present. I can't wait to sit down and read it.

beez Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Just came in the mail! :) By Ozuma Kaname: Tattoo Fantasy Women in Tattoo @Dennis Kaname's Women in Tattoo is INCREDIBLE and far outstrips what I was expecting when I ordered it. I saw in the thread that you also recently received it. Big smiles over here! I also have Shienrenjo and Tattooed Beauties. I am pleased with my Kaname collection so far :). The other pic is of my tattoo book shelf, which also has some other odds and ends on it, but I'm pretty stoked for my burgeoning tattoo book collection :). tatB, CultExciter, kimkong and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5564-post-your-book-collection/?page=3#findComment-107656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubaron Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I've recently discovered utopian, fantasy, scifi, digital, biomech art. Similar to my taste in tattoos. Not tattoo books, but definitely can be used for references if you like the style: Fantastic Art of Beksinski The Art of Neckro Dead Moon: Luis Royo BioMech Art: Martin Sadaba Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5564-post-your-book-collection/?page=3#findComment-107658 Share on other sites More sharing options...

abees Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I should have included Undigested Kernel with the other Scott Harrison stuff, but I forgot.

ShawnPorter Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Was just sent the reprint of Higgs's Book of Antennae.

ShawnPorter Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I can't believe how much the first print Higgs are going for these days; while writing the review of the Antennae reprint I checked on the going rate for the originals...

ShawnPorter Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 @ShawnPorter thanks for the heads up on the Antennae reprint, been on (yet another) Higgs kick lately and always looking for print media to devour! I should have a post up soon with the contact info for the reprint. It's hard to review this book- I figure people are either going to buy it or not. the main point of the review will be to let people know that there is nothing but text in the book. That's fine for me, since I like Higgs's writing, but for folks looking for new art, it'll be a let down.
