In Print: No Regrets by Aviva Yael and PM Chen

The full title for this book is No Regrets: The Best, Worst, & Most #$%*ing Ridiculous Tattoos Ever, by Aviva Yael (Author), P. M. Chen (Author), and David Cross (Foreword). The book DOES deliver on what the title promises. It's listed as 144 pages, but you really have 130 full color pages of some of the most amazing body art, from the bad to the bizarre, frightening to striking, and all levels in between. Each with a full color commentary.

The book arrived on Saturday Morning and by that afternoon I read it from cover to cover. It's mostly just pictures of tattoos with a clever comment to go with each. It's just a quick fun read. What draws you in is the raw disbelief of how some people will go and mark themselves for life permanently and, likely, at great cost!
I would describe this as a great coffee table book. Perfect for conversion, and fun to thumb through. If you love tattoos it would make a fun resource of dos and don'ts of the lifestyle. Or you can just read it for pure spectator enjoyment. If you have any sort of sense of humor, you'll get a kick out of this book. Good fun, give it a try!

It's available on Amazon.com
