Mainstream Tattoo Books - The books in this category are the ones that people tend to buy most often. Some are photograph compendiums while others are guides to getting a tattoo. Start here in your search for tattoo material if you're not already a tattoo or tattoo book collector.

Glossy Photo Tattoo Books - These are the types of books you'd put on a coffee table. They're generally a large format, glossy and color throughout, with not alot of text. |
 |
Tattoo Books from Academia - are just that. These mostly text paperbacks are written by folks in academia -- professors, researchers, and the like. It's a category that's really grown a alot recently. |
 |
Gang & Prison Tattoo Books - This last section of books that deals strictly with tattoos is another growing group. Some are intended for law enforcement to aid in identification of gang members. Others are simply about the highly symbolic nature of these types of tattoos. |
 |
Design and Kanji Books - These types of books are indespensable if you'd like to get a Japanese character as a tattoo symbol. Do your own research instead of relying entirely on flash. It's really not that hard. |
 |
General Body Modification Books - I don't have a whole lot to say about these (except that body modification is booming just like tattooing) since my thing is really tattoo symbolism. |
