Description


American Ink$linger is the confessions and illustrations of a penitentiary tattoo artist. In this book, I share my story along with my complete portfolio of over 400 original paintings, drawings, sketches, and flash designs from the 12 years I spent locked up in the Colorado Department of Corrections.

Showcasing the outlaw perspective and experience, this body of work " evokes a range of emotions from fascination to discomfort... not for the faint hearted."

Taking you under my wing, I teach you everything you need to know about tattooing in prison, including how to make a tattoo machine, make the ink, and all about the deadly politics.
