A young lady takes a trip to a tattoo shop with her mother and finds out what happens inside, and why her mom would get a tattoo. Years later, old enough to get a tattoo of her own, the young lady considers the consequences of making a decision that won't wash off. Based on the author's true childhood story, the book portrays three Pacific Northwest tattooists: Vyvyn Lazonga, Katie Williams, and Ximena Quiroz. Fans of the tattoo central to the story will find that the cover can be used as a color reference, as well as the line art included on its own page to use either as a stencil, or page to color your own way.
