Language: English - 192 pages - color and b/w illustrations - As a heavily tattooed woman, I am constantly searching out the archives for great books regarding the subject. I've read some pathetically boooooring books in my day, but not only was this book exciting, but incredibly accurate as well. I particularly enjoyed the vintage photos of the earliest women to experience the needle...I am a first-hand example of familiarity with the stigma attached to beautiful women with beautiful tats, I can't even imagine the stigma held in the early 1900's...A great read for females AS WELL AS MALES just looking to brush up on some inkin' history or seeking out a career in the industry...

Review:
'Mifflin's book is a fascinating and mesmerising journey... it is being reissued as a lavish new hardcover edition to celebrate the fact that there are now more inked women in America than tattooed men.... the best book about female ink ever!' ---- Bizarre Magazine (July)
