Mark1991: Very intriguing and interesting I read the first and enjoyed it so I bought all three volumes and this one didn’t disappoint theirs lots of photos of the tattoos on individuals as well as copies the author made of the prisoners tattoos which are perfectly drawn an exact copy of the originals and they have the description of the tattoo as well as when and where they were copied at and sometimes why and how some of them you wish would have a bit more explanation but 90% are sufficient in their explanations if you have an interest in crime, Russian organized crime, prison culture,the gulags, tattoos, or specifically Russian prison tattoos and their meanings I think you’ll enjoy them as much as I do

AP84: I found the first volume to be an eye-opening read. I'd already been introduced to the topic of Russian criminal tattoos via 'The Mark of Cain', and the encyclopaedia expanded on many ideas touched on in the film. This second volume picks up along the same trajectory and is equally fascinating. The subject matter is dark, as you may expect. If you already have the first volume and appreciated it, this is a must-have.

Convict: The book material is of the best quality and also behind the soft paper cover there is a hard cover with a very stylistic and original touch to it. The content is a real and deep journey into the depths of russian criminal tattoo subculture that is almost a world on its own. The thrilling details and the abstract symbolisms are a definite 'food for thought' even for the trained reader. I highly recommend it for Russia enthusiasts and especially for the 'digging deep' tattoo artist.
To add in this volume you can find even more details about the many photographs and their background as well as the detentions centers or penal colonies that decorate the scenery of the stories. Really amazing

Marco: Uno dei pochissimi libri che parla della storia dei tatuaggi russi e dei loro significati. Immancabile se siete amanti del genere.

gtoman67: This volume must have gone out of print earlier than I or III, as I recall it being prohibitively expensive when I bought the others several years back. I'm glad it's available again, as I found the non-pictorial content here far surpassed that available in the other volumes. The map of the camps made me instantly realize why Solzhenitsyn named his masterpiece "The Gulag Archipelago".
Be forewarned that the body art reproduced here could be considered very offensive by some as well as pornographic.
