Ex-girlfriends. LSD. Motorcycle and canoe trips. Seinfeld. Skateboarding. Drunk friends and punk rock and shitty jobs. Sixty Tattoos I Secretly Gave Myself at Work is the most beautiful, the most vulnerable of punk and adventure memoirs.

A punk mosaic in words
Sixty Tattoos I Secretly Gave Myself At Work delivers exactly what it promises, a mash of short accounts regarding 60 of the stick and poke tattoos the author, surprisingly enough, secretly gave himself at work. The writing is crusty and dirty and perfect for the topic. Makes me want to drop my pants at work and start my own collection.

Short stories about the tattoos the author gave himself during the work hours. First I like that he got away with it, then the stories behind each one were engaging, finally I liked that it was under 100 pages and a quick light read.
