Tattoo Burst


This magazine is one of my favorite tattoo mags I've seen; I've been getting tattooed since '90, been tattooing since '99, and have seen PLENTY of the mags to compare it to. Although the price is a bit steep & unless you can read japanese you can't read the text it's still a great magazine to look at. It is hands down the BEST mag available to see japanese style tattooing, as well as some traditional American-style as well. It's also got MUCH more pages & pictures than any other tattoo magazines, so the price balances out a bit. If you like japanese-style tattoos you should definately pick this up; the high price is worth it; I'd buy this any day over any of the american or other magazines out there.
