5.0 out of 5 stars
Terrifyingly Interesting,
This review is from: Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia, Volume 1 (Hardcover)
I really like this book because it evokes a visceral reaction. This book will scare you, make you laugh and teach you a little something about a micro culture one could never experience on their own. The drawings are fantastic and the photographs really take you to a different place. The write up at the beginning of the book is a fascinating look at some dark periods of peoples' lives in modern Russia. This book is also great because you can pick it up for a few minutes without any prior commitment. I've given it out as a gift on a few occasions and I've received great feedback. Definitely a good buy.

This review is from: Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia, Volume 1 (Hardcover)
I bought this book as a christmas gift for my Uncle. He has several Tattoo books (historical) and this one was a great addition. It is a 3 part series and Vollume 2 is extremely hard to find unless you buy at auction or 'used' for a couple of hundred dollars.Finding parts 1 and 3 for 20.00 was a steal! I'd reccomend this for anyones collection! 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Eye opening,

This review is from: Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia, Volume 1 (Hardcover)
Eye opening into the culture of Russia and it's underground language of tattooing. In America, tattoos are seen as freedom of expression and the free-natured thought. In Russia, it's a rite of passage and one's personal history written on their bodies. The hand tattoos sysmbolize is the most interesting. Explains a lot about the tattoos seen in the movie "Eastern Promises."
