Synopsis
Jeff Johnson has been a tattoo artist for almost twenty years, and he has watched his clientele transform from bikers and thugs into frat boys and soccer moms. But Johnson's shop in Portland, Oregon, remains a magnet for miscreants and malefactors, as testified by some of the shocking anecdotes he shares in this memoir. Some of his more memorable clients include a pack of heavily armed gangsters who make him so nervous that he misspells one of their tattoos and a likely serial killer who has the social security numbers of his victims permanently etched under his skin. In between his war stories, Johnson reveals the secrets to his lasting success in a rapidly changing business and offers essential wisdom for anyone considering getting ink done.

Industry Reviews
"...[A]n engaging look not just at the tattoo artist's profession but also at the artists themselves....It's a fascinating book, especially for a reader unfamiliar with the...tattoo scene."
(06/01/2009)

"Woven throughout Johnson's funny, outlandish and sometimes disturbing anecdotes about drug-addled tattooists who fall asleep while blotching the arms of customers, scam artists who promise sex for services rendered, and the still-at-large serial killer who emblazoned his victims' names on his body, is an intricately rendered history of a once-marginal service industry."
