Website Upgrades – BFMT Book 2nd Printing

[imported_canvasyou]

We are working hard at finishing up the new PORTAL.
The new TMTT BFMT (Basic Fundamentals of Modern Tattoo) Digital Online Portal will be for MEMBERS ONLY.
If you were a previous member of the old TMTT Portal you will be able to register for free.
The only other way you can get member access to the portal is if you purchase the book Basic Fundamentals of Modern Tattoo.

The Book covers a lot of ground, but it WILL NOT TEACH YOU TO TATTOO –
That is not the purpose of the book.
Any book that promises that you will learn to tattoo from a book or DVD is a bold face lie.
The ONLY way you can properly learn to tattoo is from an apprenticeship.
This website and this book are designed to accompany a formal apprenticeship – or tattoo school education (which is should still be followed up by a formal apprenticeship).

The only way to get access to the MEMBERS ONLY portal is to purchase the book.

Currently the book is OUT OF STOCK – but we have ordered 3000 more copies from the printer
and TBO Publishing will have them available for pre-order on May 1st 2009.

If you are interested in pre-ordering a copy please wait until then. You will be able to find ads for the books in all the popular tattoo magazines as well.

Thank everyone for their support as we continue to spread the information about the tattoo trade and industry in a safe and positive manner.

The new Portal website is coming along swimmingly –
and we are very pleased with the design – and ease of use.
The new books will be available after the 1st of May as reported earlier…

Please report any broken links on the website – remember that ONLY individuals who purchase the book and register it will have access to the forum.
Your copy of the book will come with a login and password for the website.

Thanks for all the positive support (and negative criticism) – keep it coming.

When I go to register my book it comes up with a blank page. Can’t wait to see the members area. :)
