High Voltage Tattoo

A lavish book in every way from Kat Von D. The book itself is a consideration of Tattoo culture across the world and more specifically the path of the author, discussed and lavishly illustrated with colour photography - produced to look like a Gothic journal with a lovely red, padded cover and pages to look like aged parchment. Content wise it covers the authors' career from early days to recent work, inspiration and tools of the trade. It's also full of interesting insider stories. It's a great read for anyone interested in Kat Von D, or indeed simply in the world of Tattoo culture or a simply a lover of the arts, and would make a perfect gift too.( I received mine 'used, very good' from 'thebookhouse' and fulfilled by Amazon in absolutely superb condition - many thanks to both). A super purchase. Well presented, well packaged with excellent Amazon delivery.

This really is a brilliant book. As soon as I opened the package and saw the wonderful cover I was enthralled. The way the pics are done, the way the text was written, just everything is out of this world. Even if you dont like tattoos and just like Kat Von D, and who doesnt! I cant wait for her next book, infact Iv already pre-ordered it. How am I to wait till Nov 2010 for it to arrive?. L.A Ink - Kat Von D - Tattoo - Maxi Poster - 61 cm x 91.5 cm The Mammoth Book of Tattoos

Ordered this for my husband he said it was a really good read 📚

I ordered Kat Von D's book for my 16 year old nephew's birthday but couldn't resist having a sneaky peek myself! The padded cover gives the book a real quality feel, loads of great close up photo's of various tatoo's that Kat has done plus ones she admires. This book is ideal for someone who doesn't want a heavy read, as like Kat her life is summed up more in her tattoo's than in words but it does give a good insight into her life growing and what brought her to the life she now leads.

This book by Kat Von D is "Fabulous" it show's you her work and designs which are an 'Inspiration' to all those people out there that need a little insight into how Tattooing is really done!!.... It tell's you how she begun her lif'e's work and from start to finish you will not be disappointed, I promise U....I would of course like to keep this Book but, Alas I think that it is time for me to let it go and to share with you the Inspiration and Dedication...of KAT VON D.....x

Being an avid viewer of LA Ink and the talented, intriguing Kat Von D I bought this book, purely for the artwork the history and to really find out the real Kat. And boy I weren't disppointed on all fronts, her creations, her heart, her modesty and above all her dedication to each and every individual tattoo she does. I learnt alot about the trade too, do's and dont's and myths regarding the industry. Now all I need to do is get that tattoo done.

A brilliantly written easy to read book! Beautifully presented, fantastic photographs and lush feel to the cover... I am fascinated by tattoos and tatooing and watch Kat's programmes on the TV. I hasten to add I don't have tattoos but really appreciate the quality and skill she has. Would recommend this book

It's great if u interested in her life story and how she achieved so much in her life with her tattoo career.
