Tattoos have been around for thousands of years. (The ancient Egyptians
seemed to have favored geometric figures.) Regarded by many who wear
them today as a form of personal identification, tattoo designs range
from symbols of courage and patriotism to expressions of love and
affection.
This collection of colorable tattoos -- all adapted from patterns
created during the first half of the 20th century -- lets colorists of
all ages apply their own eye-catching hues to thirty pages of intriguing
designs. From frightening figures and powerful beasts to good luck
symbols, pretty girls, and pierced hearts, the traditional tattoos
represent a unique form of body art -- and a great source of
coloring fun.
