Celtic Body Art

Summary: Good book, could have been better
Review: I enjoyed the book as far as the basic suggestions went, and the six transfers that were included with the book were very useful. It would have been vastly improved had there been more information on where to buy body-art supplies (temporary tattoo paint, henna, woad, etc) BESIDES through the author's company. Also, I found the ice-cream pastel colors and rebelliously trendy models a bit overdone as far as basic book design. For pure "information", the book is decent, at best.

Summary: A Disappointment
Review: I purchased this book as I was making the set from mehndi into woading hoping it might give me some pointers. It didn't. The brief chapters keep repeating themselves on how no one knows what woading really was. The designs are too complexed to ever be painted with anything but temporary tattoo ink or other paints. The kit includes a third rate plastic paintbrush and two small vials (black and blue) of body paint. No temporary tattoo ink for all the money the kit costs.

Summary: Anti-art for lazy people
Review: Paint if you want to paint. Get inked if you want, but don't be lazy and use other people's stencils and stains to sport a dyed patch of skin for a month. Pathetic waste of time and money - use your time to read something which will stimulate your brain
