I would love a copy- I’m heavily tattooed myself and would love to understand more about the history of the art. Then to tell my mother who tells my regularly that I look ‘mutilated’ owing to the tats 😆 I rise above my anguish but would like to have some facts to impart!!
Wassim Razzouk is a tattoo artist in Jerusalem whose family have been tattooing Christian pilgrims (and others) for 260-some generations over 700 years. He’s been featured in international press and most recently on an episode of NatGeo’s Expedition Unknown. He’s also a Templar (you remember us—Nashville). Several of us on Pilgrimage visited his shop and now sport tattoos with designs that are centuries old. In fact, I believe you have one of his tattoos. If you sent me a book, I would treasure it until I re-gift it to Wassim!
The more the world changes, the more we humans stay the same. Tattoos are almost as fascinating to me as the reasons people get them, and I think we often forget that they have been around almost as long as us! Even the Victorians got them.
If you send me a copy, I'll get a tattoo of Roland the Farter jumping, whistling and farting in front of a visibly elated Henry II on one arm, and Wat Tyler with the words 'Don't hate thou cos thy ain't thou' on the other. I won't actually, but the book would be great anyway.
I'd like a copy to give to my friend as a wedding gift, she's getting married in October. She loves history and they both love tattoos, her husband-to-be is a tattoo artist x
I didn't buy myself a cameo from you for my birthday this year 🤣🤣 as I have in the past so a book from you signed would be such an absolute thrill!! I'll give this book a great home here in Orlando !
So you know Razzouk! Several of us Knights Templar got his tattoos on pilgrimage a few years ago. I’m proud to say he is also a Templar. If you can, check out Nat Geo’s Expedition Unknown, where he’s featured in the episode about searching for a lost Biblical city. I believe Dan has a Tattoo by Razzouk. I promised I would Re-gift my copy to Razzouk if I win one. (I should have recommended he send it directly to Razzouk.)

Thank you, Dan, for giving me another aspect of history to deep dive into!! Sounds fascinating!!

Would love a copy to gift to one of my tattoo artist friends.... after I read it of course. About to get my 1st tattoo soon, too. At 65!!
What a brilliant idea for a book!
Yes, please! History and Ink, I love having these subjects in one book!

It's my birthday today, may I please have one? 🙏
Ok fine if you insist
Sounds like a really interesting read. If I win, I promise to bump it to the top of my massive TBR pile lol
I've got 4 tats and the next one will be from Razzouk this fall. I'm really looking forward to it (and the trip too lol)

I find tats artistically fascinating. Design, color and especially if it tells a story. As the Rolling Stones states: TATTOO YOU!! ;-))
Sounds good to me Dan! Would be interested in reading this one and getting some inspiration for new ink maybe?
