In one week, my worldly possessions will be transplanted into a new home. Granted, that new home is only five blocks away from the one I'm typing in now but that doesn't make these boxes any lighter. For many, the heavy lifting is furniture or Bigfoot Garden Yetis. But for me, it's my big-ass books. Please don't make me carry them all.

As an incentive, from today until February 1st, I'm reducing the price of my author copies to reduce any potential back problems. Here's the offer:

* Black & Grey Tattoo 3 Volume Box Set: All 3 books in sleeve and carrying case are now $320 including shipping in the US (a great deal as shipping this 20lb box is pretty pricey).

* Black & Grey Tattoo individual volumes:  Each book -- Traditional Black & Grey, Dark/Horror, & Portraits -- is now $120 each including shipping in the US.

* Color Tattoo Art: Cartoon. Comics. Pin-Up. Manga. New School: Now available for $130 including shipping in the US (retails for $199).

For US orders, you can hit up our Needles & Sins Bookstore, or contact me at marisa at needlesandsins.com. For orders outside the US, email me for shipping info. Again, this offer ends February 1st and as supplies last.

I'll even write a love note in the books if ya want. Because I do love you. xo
