This is an amazing book very informative with beautiful illustrations and photos. It gives an insight into the markings on Australian Convicts. For me it shed a whole new light on the meaning and importance of tattoos. Even the letters on convicts arms and the single dots an explanation is given for. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in Australian Convicts.

As I have an interest in convicts I was interested to see a book about convict tattoos - I was hoping that it would be more of a guide or explanation of the various types. i wanted to be able to decode the recorded tattoos of the early Australian convicts, so was a little disappointed that it was not what I was expecting. Not a bad book, but not brilliant. Not likely to be used.

Bought this book on the premise it would be interesting and good value. Don't waste your money, it's neither instead a table book with limited interest. Very little research and basic plates. Wish I still had my money. :(

A subject not often written about, this nicely illustrated book presents a detailed look into the lives of convicts and the meaning of their tattoos. An excellent source of Australian convict history.

There are plenty of tattoo pictures plus background information - not just a picture book.
