From the back of the book:
Are you the type that gets a kick from sin-streaked, steaming hot tattoo designs full of beauties, cuties and nudies?! Then you’ve just hit the jackpot!!
 
In your sweaty grip is the greatest collection of lewd, rude and crude, yet cute, cuddly and curvaceous tattoo art ever published ? all of it itching to be engraved on your flesh (or just drooled over beneath the covers late at night)!
 
Fill up on a bountiful buffet of salacious selections overflowing with high-heeled, hell-bound dames hoisting high-balls; pile on a side of tasteless and trashy; top it off with a pinch of the adorable and the deplorable, and you?ve got yourself one satisfying book ? THIS book!
