This book is smaller than you might think - 8.25"x5.25" - given the amount of material it covers. 107 pages of hearts, flowers, insects, animals, snakes, dragons, fish, men, women, deivils, angels, skulls, daggers, boats, cars, flags, scrolls, ropes, chains, dice, playing cards, cocktail glasses, religious symbols, cartoon figures, military insignia, and fantasy scenes. Traditional designs include the "Rose of No Man's Land," "Miss Liberty" "Paraoh's Horses" "Homeward Bound," "Death Before Dishonor," and "Rock of Ages." One regret is that the designs are all small, because many of them are beautiful. Quite a few designs are also so "naively" drawn they draw laughs. It is easy to quickly find something you'd want somewhere on your body.

The introduction provides a brief history of tattooing and tattoo artists between 1890 and 1965, giving old school tattooers, often itinerants and even sometimes circus workers, recognition for propagating tattoo tradition.
