Tattoos are deeply rooted in our human experience and spirituality, and this book is a stepping stone for seekers aiming to carry on the legacy of Ritual Tattooing.

Review Quotes

Ness Bosch's Sacred Tattooing provides the reader with an excellent introduction to the sacred history and present of an artform possessing a complex social and religious biography. In addition to illustrating the fascinating and diverse history of tattooing across the world, Bosch invites the reader to consider how they might embark upon embuing their own tattoos with sacred meaning and power, both during the tattooing process and afterwards. This is a valuable book to contemplate for anyone who is interested in tattoos, whether as a cultural practice, an artform, spiritual expression, or all of the above.--Olivia Church Ph.D, author of Pagan Portals Isis, Sekhmet, and Osiris.
