Review by Julia Acevedo for 500 Tattoo Designs

I’m in covenant with the other two reviewers here, but I thought I would elaborate a small more as to why I reckon “500 Tattoo Designs” isn’t very excellent, rather than just saying it isn’t. To start with, the book is filled with very simple line drawings, some colored, some not, that are so rudimentary they in fact remind me of the pictures in a child’s coloring book. The desings are divided up by the side of world cultural areas or groups: Japan, Celtic, Native American, and so on, but there is no explanation offered for any of the meanings of the designs and no real cultural context given besides the area or group of foundation. Most of the designs *are* appealing, if simple, but if one were about to have a tattoo everlastingly inked upon one’s body, I should reckon that one would certainly want to know not just the meaning of the chosen design but also a bit more about where it originated and who it was conceived for in the first house. I imagine one would hardly want a fertility symbol or religious tattoo if one had no interest in such things to start with, hence my complaint of no in rank about the designs.
I believe this book would be better suited to a graphic artist, or maybe even a DIY-er with an upcoming major stencilling project and no thoughts, as I feel that many of these designs would make brilliant stencils if they were enlarged.

This books looks sleek, if you judge it by its cover, but that is the only “vaguely” fascinating tattoo in the whole thing. The Book looks like the author simply took Microsoft Word Fonts such as Wingding and others with secret code, and pasted them onto his pages. Its all a load of crap, not value the paper its printed on. A HUGE disappointment.

Seriously, what is on the cover is no where close to the crap inside. Please save your money. When I read the other reviews I thought, it can’t be that terrible. In fact, it turned out worse than what was said. Just like everyone says, it certainly looks exactly like a coloring book. You can in fact get better thoughts from coloring books. There is no creativity in these designs. They are all dull and very basic.

I have always had a fascination of tattoo’s and have collected many books and magazines about it. But this is by far the worst use of money I have ever done.
The illustrations look like something pinched by somebody in a kindergarden.
This is just plain waste of money

most people expected to find incredible custom pictures of peoples tattoos in this book.
this is a “tattoo flash art” book, with simple drawings, like the ones you would see pnned up on walls. the black and white pencil drawings are for stencil perposes or customizing colour.
these arnt custom tattoos, theyre just simple drawings for art purposes. works fantastic for airbrushing too, just draw out the stencil, cut it out and paint
