Tattooing: Sets 1 - 2
Tattoos may only be skin deep, but the art of tattooing knows no bounds. Tattoos appear in many cultures, in every part of the world. They can be rights of passage, status symbols, or fashion accessories. They are undoubtedly a part of the human experience and this collection takes an anthropological and sociological look at tattooing. Readers can go beyond the socio-commentary, because we have also included practical guides to the strengths and foibles of tattooing--describing the tattooing process, the craft of the tattoo artist, and what can be done if and when a tattoo needs to be removed.

Illustrations in the series are of high quality and generally make tattoos look cool ... The design and the reading level are accessible without talking down to the audience, so this is a good choice for enticing reluctant readers with an interest in body art."
