The long and fascinating history of the tattoo stretches right back to the Neolithic era. Many ancient tribes and peoples have used them as a means of warding off evil or as a symbolic decoration. Nowadays, tattoos are more of a fashion statement and people are using them all over the world to decorate their bodies. Crowded with colourful characters - among them the waiter with the names of 600 wines inscribed across his chest - Tattoos provides a short history of the fascinating art and traditions of tattooing, and describes the significance of the main tattooing patterns and signs. With a gallery of 'flash' or tattoo designs ranging from the traditional heart to more exotic patterns, this box can't fail to inspire you to make your own statement using the temporary tattoos inside.

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
