excellent depiction of tattoo culture

Many people ...moan about the articles in this magazine, it is really unfortunate that no one is interested in the tattoo culture as much as the tattoos themselves. I am a collector of tattoos (12 and still going strong), but why get tattoos without knowing about advancements in tattooing, or the awesome people that do it. People who have tattoos should really enjoy the articles, and the people that keep tattooing alive. The culture is as entertaining as the pictures, and if you don't apreciate that than you shouldn't get tattoos. Respect those that make a living sharing their art with the world, don't be close minded and expect only pictures, that's not tattoing or the tattoo world. This is an excellent magazine and I would suggest it to any one!!

Love it, but....

Being tattooed myself (currently 11) I love checking out new art from around the world... which has made me addicted to this magazine. The only problem? I have to agree that there are just too many articles that have nothing to do with tats. Granted, the mag has introduced me to some new cds, but that really isn't what I'm buying it for. If you're into articles as well as pics, get a subscription. If you're looking for just pics - check out Flash magazine.
