Quite a few of my close mummy friends and family members have tattoos, including grandma. Though the book features inked parents, my main goal is to make more cuddles happen! At its heart, the book is a celebration of connecting with your cuties in the little years.”

Perhaps your children have asked how your tattoos got onto your skin? “My kids ask me how much it hurts,” says Laura Chamley, who’s mum to Gracie, 10, and Billie, 8. “But also what it feels like, why I wanted them, which tattoo is my favourite and which one do I hate. But, I think they're so used to me looking like this, they don't really notice that I'm different to their friends' mums.” This is followed by an illustration, a sand timer, among other things, to mark the aesthetic of books. Many awesome images come to mind with stories like so and are hence employed as links for a book tattoo.Another one of the best tattoo books for identifying the latest trends from the bodywork world, Frederic Claquin’s 1000 Tattoos combines designs from established and up-and-coming artists with insights and commentary from the author himself.

Ink – The Art Of Tattoo: Contemporary Designs And Stories Told By Tattoo Experts – Victorian Workshop The adult content is not mentioned on the cover of the book or anywhere that I can see which is a concern as I would have no issue with a 14 year old looking at photos of tattoos but I do if they contain nude images of female genitals. You may notice I say 'female' and not 'male' thats because all the male genitals in the book are always covered by the owners hand or a piece of clothing. Laura explains what the process of getting tattooed actually involves. “I've talked about how it works, the process with the machine and the needle. I tell them why I chose the designs I did and how my taste has changed over time and that's okay, too. We've talked about some I've had covered up, but mostly I just say that I like how they look.” Tattoos can nurture creativity and encourage body positivity
