Do you know what Underwear and Cigarettes have in common? Within the pages of Tattoo, you will find the answer as you step into the lives of the genuine characters that inhabit this American epic based in 1980’s Florida. A Generation X twenty something woman encounters a grizzled WWII veteran whose face makes a gargoyle look good, and whose mesmerizing tattoo draws her into his fateful past. Both thoughtful and visual, the lives and loves of these two characters intertwine as their futures clash with the history they share. How do you kill a charging wild boar and a rattle snake at the same time? Find out from a man whose love of a woman turned him into a beast, and whose friendship gave a young woman the courage to break the cycle of poverty and abuse. Within the pages of Tattoo, you will discover how an aggrieved young woman learns to overcome her past, and present, with the help of her eccentric patient at the VA hospital where she works as a masseuse. After a lifetime of neglect from her low rent parents and abuse from her husband, Dana Maddox encounters a reclusive patient, Spenser, whose mysterious tattoo both intrigues and inspires her. The tale of how Spenser got his tattoo also ensnares Spenser and Dana in the desperate struggles for money and power in the beach town of St. Augustine. In the thrilling climax, a pregnant Dana faces the difficult choice of betraying Spenser to win her freedom or save him and risk losing everything, including her life.
