Combines photographs of everyday people along side Vegas starlets and rockers showing off their tattoos, sharing their personal stories of design inspiration and first tattoos.
A tattoo can tell a lot about a person. Some reflect a rebellious season, like the demons that cover Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers. Some express religious ties, like actor Mark Wahlberg’s once tattooed rosary. Some are symbols of love and loyalty; Some serve as remembrances, like rapper Lil Wayne’s teardrops, representing deaths of loved ones. Inked by Janet E. Kusiak and Kimberly D. Goad uses the language of tattoos to explore the question: what has marked your life? Is it a deep well of pain? Is it emotional baggage? Is it depression? In spite of events that are so deeply etched into our hearts, we have the power to change the marks that life makes on us. An estimated quarter of Americans ages 18-50 have a tattoo. What better way to show how one of the most polarizing of cultural icons can, in fact, be a metaphor for what people have in common? Using stories and slang from tattoo culture, the authors look at the new way Christ desires that we be inked by Him, as the authors explore the marks that have been made on our hearts.

Beautiful, Breathtaking and Swoontastic! It plays out like a tragic love story with ups and downs so full of hope, which makes it so hard to put down."Azure"A crack in the skull, in which one can see the vein riddled grey matter churning pre-apocalyptic montage of the menage a trois, man versus self versus woman often concerned with both the visceral experience and euphoric reflection of Love Lust Liquor and a Lady."
Tony: "How can I explain this? There's really no explanation for the way I feel. It's beyond me. Maybe it happened on my last tour of duty, where I was wounded in the leg, spent months in the VA hospital with nothing but therapy, and reading love letters to pass the time, or to keep me sane.The letters weren't from my wife, but an admirer. I hadn't heard from my wife in months. I think her last note informed me that she'd moved on, taking our dog with her, and was filing for a divorce. I guess she couldn't handle a damaged man without a job, with little or no income, and coming home. Now it was time for me to accept that I was a broken man. I'd lost my identity, because I was a soldier, a leader of men, and all I had now were these few love letters from a strange woman to give me comfort.Could this woman be as broken as I was? What would it take to make me whole-two broken pieces coming together?" What would happen when Tony fell in love, because of a few letters, texts, and emails, only to discover that the person behind the letters wasn't who he imagined? The "Wounded Inked" 3 book series contain hurt/ comfort, straight to gay, and fake boyfriend with HFN, and HEA in the final book.
