No Regrets

Critical Praise

"Sometimes Portland seems like a floating tattoo museum. But anybody who feels like joining the tattooed crowd may want to first consult "No Regrets: The Best, Worst, & Most #$%*ing Ridiculous Tattoos Ever."

"What? That isn't a tattoo yet? Hmmm, well, as this book goes to show, just give it time. Its inevitable day draws near. That's what's so fascinating and unnerving about this collection. After leafing through it, one is left with the question, "Jesus Christ! What's next for these people?!"

"This is probably not the kind of book you’d want sitting on the coffee table, unless, of course, you’re an eighteen year old college freshman with delusions of grandeur, but it’s definitely one you’ll want to enjoy and share with a very select group of friends — emphasis on “very select.” I can only say, buy this book. Read it, enjoy it, put it down, pick it up and look at it again, because it will take you at least two or three passes through the pages to thoroughly appreciate the limits — or lack thereof — of the tattoo, not only as art, but as a most colorful form of personal and social statement.

"This book is incredibly engrossing and especially fun to look at with groups of drunk people.

"Here's something I found out there and I thought was worth a look. Whether you read it to laugh at all the idiot tattoos people got (there's one of a dolphin smoking a bong) or because you want a tattoo, No Regrets: The Best, Worst, & Most #$%*ing Ridiculous Tattoos Ever is a book worth reading. Some people are so stupid.

"It's the photographs of such wrongheaded, redneck moves that make NO REGRETS: The Best, Worst, & Most #$%*ing Ridiculous Tattoos Ever one of those books you'll want to share with all your cool friends."

"Needled tries to present the very best of tattooing without mocking the bad. That is, unless you're a celeb who has the resources to find the best and pay for it. Then it's open season. But there are moments when I yearn to do the blog version of shaking someone silly and screaming What were you thinking?! For example, I love BMEzine's Modblog, but when I see something like the Twinkies chestpiece tattoo and the comments saying how awesome it is, I just wanna vomit cream filling. Sometimes acceptance of all things in tattoos isn't a good thing. Sometimes you just have to call someone a dumbass. Thankfully Vice mag's Aviva Yael and P.M. Chen have done this for me in their new book, No Regrets, The Best, Worst, & Most #$%*ing Ridiculous Tattoos Ever. posts."

“At Asylum, we consider the body a sacred temple that shouldn't be debased. On the other hand, a tattoo of a dolphin in a recliner smoking a bong is wonderfully stupid. Hence our fascination with the new book "No Regrets: The Best Worst, & Most #$%*ing Ridiculous Tattoos Ever."

“No Regrets” is the best compilation of horrible tattoos that I have seen in ages. If you don’t laugh at least a few times whilst thumbing through this book, then you are a humorless twit.”

“What a gem! Estimated cost of laser tattoo removal for each skin-canvas catastrophe seems to be the only thing missing from the eyesore-fest that is No Regrets: The Best, Worst & Most #$%*ing Ridiculous Tattoos Ever. The book’s creators, Aviva Yael and P.M. Chen, scoured tattoo parlors and stalked their patrons for the yearlong wild ink chase behind this gem of a book.”

“Luckily enough for Aviva Yael and P.M. Chen there are enough idiots people out there making bad decisions regarding tattoos, that they were able to put together a book: “No Regrets: The Best, Worst, & Most #$%*ing Ridiculous Tattoos Ever.” I’m looking forward to their next book on bad haircuts.”
