Tattoo Machine: Tall Tales, True Stories, and My Life in Ink by Jeff Johnson


So it's true. I won't allow my daughter to date a tattooist. :) Johnson tells the tale of his career in tattooing, and, um, he doesn't hold anything back. On the one hand, it's great that I now know to check out the bathrooms. Clean bathrooms mean good tattoo parlors. But, ewww, now I know what happens in there!

For those into tattooing, this might suit your fancy, but it isn't the best read. Tighter editing would have helped and I wanted to know more about Johnson's transition from wild bad boy to tattoo shop manager who scares new interns.
