Sacred Ink
Adolfo-master tattoo artist, heroin addict, AIDs patient-has found a home, a place he believes will restore him up in the high-desert pastures and rugged mountains of Nuevo Mexico. He has found a community-los penitentes, a lay brotherhood of the Catholic church known for their charity, and their acts of penance, including self-flagellation. And he has met a girl... He brings the innocent, young Maggie back to the filthy, derelict Airstream where he practices his body art-a trailer that once served as the base of operations for the area's most notorious heroin dealers.

Sacred Ink is a story about the brutality of love-and the harrowing path to redemption.
