5.0 out of 5 stars
Especially for anyone considering a tattoo of their own,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stewed Screwed and Tattooed (Paperback)
Madame Chinchilla's Stewed, Screwed & Tattooed is a unique treatise on the history, practice, and art of tattooing, whether in the military, prisons, tribal rituals, or far-off lands. Enhanced with illustrations from the C.W. Eldridge Tattoo Archive and the Triangle Museum, Stewed, Screwed & Tattooed balances its unique history with fascinating vignettes ranging from the ethics of responsible tattooing, to dealing with modern-day social stigma attached to tattooing, to a variety of amazing and colorful tattooing anecdotes. Stewed, Screwed & Tattooed is very highly recommended reading, especially for anyone considering a tattoo of their own.

Stewed, Screwed and Tattooed,
By
This review is from: Stewed Screwed and Tattooed (Paperback)
Madame Chinchilla is a tattoo artist in Fort Bragg, CA (that's her on the cover). The book is a collection of brief illustrated articles on various tattoo topics--women, mascetomies and cover-up tattoos; tattoo guns; a story on the various reactions to her tattoos while on vacation; tattoo conventions, etc. Most of her stories are humorous in nature but there are a few truly sad ones.The book is informative, has plenty of pictures, and is a fun read. My only complaint is that it isn't longer (87 pages) but I understand that a sequel is in the works. Another plus factor of the book is that it came autographed by Madame Chinchilla and included her business card! The book is a good introduction to the world of tattoos, written by someone who has a sense of humor. I highly recommend the book and am looking forward to her next one.

Folksy book written from the heart of a woman tattooist !,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stewed Screwed and Tattooed (Paperback)
Stewed, Screwed & Tattooed has long been the cheer of seafaring men. Yet a sailor's only memory of a wild night on shore may be the one that's embedded under his flesh for the rest of his life, a tattoo. Filled with intriguing illustrations from C.W. Eldridge's Tattoo Archive and the Triangle Museum, Stewed, Screwed, and Tattooed examines a multitude of topics, including tattooed women in the circus sideshows, military tattoos, social stigma & tattoos, prison tattoos, contemporary American tattoos, modern day tribal rituals, spiritual aspects of tattooing and tattoos as an alternative to implants for the woman who has experienced a mastectomy. Peppered with interviews, anecdotes, and the adventurous tattoo travels of Chinchilla and her partner Mr. G., this unique book presents an insightful look at a very personal, ancient art form.

The 'Other Side' of Tattooing,
By John O. Morton "'St.' John Morton" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stewed Screwed and Tattooed (Paperback)
Madame really shows the human side of the art of tattooing. The photos are excellent, with good examples of 'real' tattoos and not the typical drunken sailor jobs of the 1940s-50s which I was a part of. The "Celebration of a Scar" was an exceptional piece of work, and should be in all the medical books related to breast cancer surgery. As a 'old time'(retired) tattoo artist, I recommend this book to everyone.
