a must-have for tattooers wanting to get into dragon designs

even though i had expected something rather different (lots of photographs, e.g.) when i ordered this book, i cannot but agree with my fellow reviewer. another excellent item from don ed hardy's hardy marks publications.

however: i feel that this book is more for the truly dedicated dragon tattoo design enthusiast and/or tattooer.

there is a very interesting introduction about dragon design and mythology. also, there is a very interesting bibliography suggesting further reading.

the countless designs, drawings in black and white only (!), show all aspects of dragon tattoo design. very interesting and absolutely high quality work. but, as i have said before, rather aimed at specialists and tattooers. for the latter, imho, a must-have! (as most other books that have so far been published by hardy marks publications, san francisco.) it shouldn't be too hard to find a (used) copy.

Yet Another Ed Hardy Masterpiece

Dragon Tattoo Designs is a great source book for anyone interested in dragon tattoos, even if you just want to draw them. The designs are such that they will withstand the test of time and aging well. Interesting and informative also. As always the best from Hardy.
