Items related to Skin Deep: Tattoos, the Disappearing West, Very Bad...
Karol Griffin is an original: a sweet, funny, effortlessly cool woman with a magnetic attraction to trouble and a clear-eyed, kick-ass writing style. In Skin Deep, she describes her life as a full-time tattoo artist, occasional outlaw, and tattooed woman looking for love in all the wrong places. By the mid-nineties, when the West had been invaded by suburban culture and tattoos had become a mass commodity of coolness, Karol was compelled to go even farther to find the authentic out-siders she romanticized. She hooked up with a real Wyoming outlaw-complete with felony convictions and outstanding warrants-and wound up looking down the barrel of a gun held by a tattooed caricature of true love.
Part tales of life in the fast lane and part fearless, dead-on social commentary, this memoir takes us on a hot-wired ride through the disappearing West.
