Book Review: Tattooed Beauties by Christian Saint

Tattooed Beauties by Christian Saint. Published by Goliath Books
Back in October of last year I wrote an article that was part review of a book entitled, "Tattooed Super Models" and part preview of it's successor, "Tattooed Beauties".

Well, I've had "Tattooed Beauties" for a while now (Sorry for the delay, Matthew) and I've finally managed to sit down and review it.

I'll begin by saying that if beautiful women and tattoos are your thing, you are not going to be disappointed. Fifty three beautiful, tattooed and pierced models are crammed onto 256  pages. The book is a thing of quality, the pages are thick and luxurious and the whole thing feels 'substantial' as soon as you pick it up.

Once open you are greeted by Riae, or more accurately, her strategically covered torso which of course is covered with an interesting collection of tattoos. After a brief introduction to the book (in five languages), it's the pictures that do the talking.

Christian Saint and Goliath Books have delivered another "does what it says on the tin" masterpiece, no clever title required here. "Tattooed Beauties" is exactly what this book is full of.
I have to admit, however, that I did find myself a little conflicted at times. I am a self-confessed tattoo junkie and one or two of the shots felt as though less would have been more. Had I been choosing which of Abbey So's tattoos to do a full page close up of, I'm afraid the "Meow" situated just above her genitals wouldn't have been it. But what do I know? Christian Saint has been a master of his craft for many years, I guess he knows his art better then I do.

I also found the indexing system laborious, bordering on tedious. Alphabetically listed models (who are also numbered), cross referenced with page numbers and similarly tattoo artists listed in the same A-Z fashion who are in turn cross referenced numerically with the model but alas there is nothing to indicate which artist did which tattoo and these girls have a lot of tattoos. The index is as clumsy as my description of it. I gave up in the end. 

I digress, these are minor gripes about a book which is, overall, magnificent in both its content and manufacture. Christian Saint's work is once again more Rolls Royce than Ford Fiesta and I'm quite sure that this won't be the last we see from him. While I personally feel there may be the occasional unnecessary display of genitalia there is still nothing tawdry about their inclusion.

If you love beautiful, tattooed women and you loved "Tattooed Super Models" then you are going to love "Tattooed Beauties". As for me, I'm off to contemplate what has gone wrong with my life when 256 pages of gorgeous women with no clothes on leaves me pissed off at the index.

Some of the tattoos can make guys and girls look exotic. I also got some very good ideas from this page.
