What is the best book to read for beginner tattoo artists?

I have been reading about books for days now and cant seem to find a book worthy of buying. I would like to learn how to tattoo. I want to do research on this before i go out and buy a tattoo kit. I want to learn about the equipment/ tools to use as well as how to actually tattoo.... What is the best book to start reading?

The Yellowpages. Here's what you do... Look under Tattoo, call one of the tattoo shops listed, and ask about an apprenticeship.

buy a penthouse forum there is about as much useful tattoo info as any of those tattoo books ,ya cant learn tattooing from a book
