I usually don’t like ‘flash tattoo’ books of any sort. Unless it’s a very genre specific book with very high quality photos like
Bushido : Legacies of the Japanese Tattoo by Takahiro Kitamura.
Mammoth Tattoos is not a collection for the ‘I must get this tattoo for my next inking’ folks… Leave that for the flash books and various tattoo magazines out there.
Unlike all those though–The Mammoth Book Of Tattoos had me floored as I had never before seen such a staggeringly fresh and inspirational collection of art on almost every page. And certainly every genre. Each artist and their art represented by very high quality photos. I had to pick what I didn’t like and came up with three out of the 80 artists represented.
This really is a fascinating (coffee-table/reference)book for anyone who appreciates graphic design, classic and modern and yes art which only happens to be on an epidermal canvas.
I’ve been planning for my first tattoo since booking my appointments with my chosen artist 3 months in advance (since he was booked up that far out). This book really helped me consider the design/content I will have custom drawn, not only because of the large number of tattoo’s shown in this book by top artists, but also because the Japanese tattooing style is very well represented (which is what I am getting). I also liked that there were quite a few large tattoos in this book, and not just full of smaller shoulder-sized tattoos.
There are also other styles represented, but I would say 40% of the book is Japanese style tattoos. To me it has been invaluable, and given the inexpensive cost, would be worth having for the seriously tattoo’ed as well as the tattoo admirerer as an eclectic coffee table book (although there’s some nudity in it, so keep that in mind for the under 18 crowd).

It wasn't. It died then froze. The 1901 Siberian mammoth had food still in its mouth because it was buried in a landslide. It did not flash freeze in place but froze when the soil did. Like frozen food kept to long the mammoth also dried out with freezer burn.
Frozen mammoths have all died from other causes before freezing. Being trapped by wandering to boggy soil after spring thaw, or drowning after falling through thin ice on ponds. All of the mammoths show some decay before freezing. What excites a scientist as being well preserved would not be viewed as well preserved by anyone else standing near enough to smell it once thawed. This juvenile mammoth found in 2007 is one of the best preserved bodies ever found.

Sure, the Amazon Kindle is really Japanese. Polymer Vision did not work on an ereader device but with foldable screens. And what about the Philips-spin-off Liquavista, now targeting on ebook readers as well?
what values do you feel they need to re-evaluate? Info would be nice. I do not have any suggestions sorry…
