"Think you know ink? Think again!

Whether your tattoo is to honour a loved one, to remember an event, to state your beliefs or simply to look good, there's always more to getting a tattoo than meets the eye. For example, do you know that having a tat links you to a deep and multicultural tradition stretching back thousands of years? Yes, even that one you got as a drunken dare . . .

From Siberia to Polynesia, tattoos have always been part of human history. Vilified and revered, shunned and celebrated, the history of the tattoo is as colourful and detailed as a master's design. The Little Guide to Tattoos is packed with fascinating history, fun facts, quirky quotes and deep dives onto some of the most iconic symbols.

Whether you're a full-on aficionado or cautiously ink-curious, The Little Guide to Tattoos is the only guide you need to all things tattoo.

""Show me a man with a tattoo and I'll show you a man with an interesting past."" - Jack London
