This a really interesting coffee table book with a plethora of stories. There's some truly personal tattoos and some totally whimsical ones that helped cut up how raw it would have been otherwise. The illustrations were really niceand I think it works better than clinical photos, but some of them needed to be more detailed then because it was hard to tell what some were supposed to be. I will say, now it has me thinking about getting a tattoo for my love of baking...

I throughly enjoyed this book. Fitzgerald does a good job of showing us the tattoo but also focusing on the chef telling the story. I personally would have liked to see actual pictures of the tattoo but I understand why he would have had to draw it instead. The book was all hand written so it had a homy feel like you were looking into someones sketch book/ journal. I really enjoyed the stories and all that represented each tattoo (or because they just liked them). Very good book.

I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if the tattoos were photos, and not rudimentary sketches.

Stories about tattoos are always cool. The inclusion of recipes was interesting but it seemed a little lacking. Like, I'm not about to go out and slaughter a pig for a recipe. That's a no can do.

I understand the reason for the drawings instead of pictures, but there were a couple tattoos where what was described in the text wasn't in the drawing, so that was disappointing
