Sample Tattoo Designs:



“Growing up I always associated tattoos as being for either bikers or military vets — a fraternity of faded hearts and arrows, American flags and “Mom.” Walking through the streets of Manhattan, one only has to spend five minutes on Fifth Avenue to see that tattoos aren't just for Uncle Jimmy any more. When HarperCollins presented The Tattoo Sourcebook, I immediately understood the need for it. The book is an incredible reference tool for artists, as well as for us wannabe walking art canvases. I particularly like the user-friendly layout of the book — the A to Z approach to tattoo genres allow the reader to dip in and out or read the book cover to cover. I got my first tattoo a couple of years ago at age 37, and I'm going to use this book to help develop my next one.”
- Peter Norton, Director of Publishing at Barnes & Noble

“When I first tried to find a book on tattoo design, I was surprised by how little there was on the market. There were some lengthy books on tattoo history and there were a few books featuring various photos of people proudly displaying their already-inked appendages, but what I really wanted was a book that showed the designs before they hit the skin. I wanted a book that re-created the experience of being in a tattoo studio but with more design variety and less pressure.
“TattooFinder.com had everything I really wanted for the book. I spoke to owner, Lou Bardach, and he thought the sourcebook was a fantastic idea, but it wasn’t enough. He wanted to give readers an authoritative and informative introduction to tattoos, and he couldn’t have been more right. The Tattoo Sourcebook not only helps you find your perfect design, but helps you have the best possible tattoo experience.”

- Jeannine Dillon, HarperCollinsPublishing

"Our decision to work with TattooFinder was based on the incredible volume of traffic their site generates as well as their solid, ethical reputation as the leading source for high quality tattoo designs. It takes time for a newer company to build a strong presence on the web, and doing so generally requires a huge advertising budget. We felt working with TattooFinder.com in co-branded content distribution was a good move for both parties. We look forward to finding other creative ways to work together to enhance each other's brand, extend our reach and increase industry authority."
- Don Hellinger, Publisher of Inked Magazine
