Summary
THE TATTOOED BASTARDA Loser’s Dirty ’90s Odyssey"A curse written in ink"Colorado, 1990s. Mike Licometti is a regular guy with a twisted secret: his body is a living map of his romantic failures. He doesn’t visit tattoo parlors; the ink just appears overnight, manifesting as grotesque, Technicolor allegories every time a relationship dies.A blasphemous crucifix for the Catholic girlfriend. A terrified face for the neurotic fling. Sad elephant eyes on his groin for the rebound he used.Terrified of being seen as a monster, Mike hides under long sleeves and cynicism, pining for Laura—the one woman he’s loved for a decade, and the one woman who ran away at the first sight of his ink. When fate drags Laura back into his life, Mike has to decide: strip down and risk it all, or keep hiding behind his scars?Raw, hilarious, and unapologetically explicit, The Tattooed Bastard is a dark comedy about sex, guilt, and the baggage we can’t wash off. Think High Fidelity in Bukowsky's style with a supernatural kick in the teeth.
