I read this entire book in one day!!!! In the beginning was the words and then followed the pictures. 1000 Tattoos tells you the history of tattooing and then offers lots of photographs. I didn't realize how many tattooed circus ladies there were in the early 1900's. I was amazed at all the tattoos and then I was shocked!!!
