While I really enjoy any book involving tattoos, this one was great but could have been better. Of all the submissions this author must have received, some of the tattoos chosen were just awful quality and didn't make much sense. And I understand that they wanted to have a lot of variation and different ideas and while I can respect that, I just feel like it would have been better if I could have enjoyed the work done on most of the tattoos as well.

The whole thing is pictures with small descriptions. Making it a quick read.
I bought this book years ago and I never found the time to sit down and read it. Tattoos have always fascinated me and this book had a Humans of New York vibe to it. I bought it and then it sat on my bookshelf gathering dust for quite some time. I was looking for a book to end March with so I finally picked it up.
Body Type by Ina Saltz was an interesting take on tattoos. I loved the variety of typology tattoos that were shown but I couldn't help but wish this book was more profound. The pictures were mediocre and I couldn't help but notice when a photo was out of focus or too dark. For a book like this, the photos need to be spectacular and unfortunately, they were not up to par.
I loved the concept of this book but I would have loved for it to have more substance. All in all, great concept but could have been improved.

A very interesting book full of colour photos of text tattoos from famous poems, literature, quotes or just the names of friends or children
I've always liked the idea of written tattoos; words instead of pictures. Picture tattoos can be interpreted in many different ways. Words are straight forward and need no translation.
Unfortunately I feel some of the tattoos featured in the book fall into the category of 'sad' or 'pretentious' but on the whole most of them are interesting to look at
My only major criticism of the book is that I don't feel the explanation of why the individual got the tattoo is in-depth enough. For me one of the most facinating aspects of tattooing is the reasons behind each tattoo so a lack of a detailed reason for it frustrated me a little.
Nevertheless well worth purchasing and I use it as a guide when designing my own text tattoos
