Tattoo
Nation
Portraits
of Celebrity Body Art
By The Editors
of Rolling Stone
Tattoo
Nation is a book filled with pictures of celebrity tattoos. This
book has many people including Ozzy Osbourne, Pam Anderson, P. Diddy,
Justin Timberlake and many more. Along with the pictures, certain
celebrities explain why they have tattoos and their significance.
Busta Rhymes explains, "It's all about loyalty." Anything
put on your body is permanent, so you better care about what you
put there. Maxwell has a beautiful umbrella on his body that signifies
protection.
I
really enjoyed looking at these tattoos, but at times the pictures
were grainy or far-away shots. I would have preferred to see the
tattoos clearer. There are many good ideas and many tattoos that
I basically just laughed at the idea of someone wanting them. But
hey, everyone has different taste. The best line in the book was
"Tattoos aren't meant for everybody and they're too goddamn
good for some people." This is a fascinating look at the inside
world of celebrity tattoos.
