Hey i say some posts on how to tattoo but no direct answers. I was wondering what books/websites there are out there that anyone knows of that explain the basics of tattooing. Its something that i really want to learn and make a career out of so if anyone knows please let me in on it lol.

Thank you

Thanks gmac for the free ad! In tahititatou site there is also a page called "at the shop" which shows, in pictures, the stages of a typical tattoo session.
But to answer the question, there is a good book called "Tattooing A to Z - a guide to successful tattooing", by Huck Spaulding. It comes with a DVD and teaches all you need to know to become a tattooist. Of course, if you are serious about becoming a tattooist you will need to learn at a tattoo school or workshop, and then practice practice practice!
Keep in touch!
