Billy Silver, a singer and lead guitarist in a band who just happens to be a woman-beating, waste-of-space junkie ends of being kicked out of the band and starts really struggling for money..
His girlfriend ends up turning to prostitution to feed her heroin addiction and Billy comes across a tattooist who pays the first 5 customers to tattoo them (seemingly for practice) but after the tattoos he gets he becomes completely uncontrollable - self-harming and seeking vengeance on his whore girlfriend and old bandmates.
There wasn't a character in this whole book that I liked, they were all horrible people; it's written very well, it's a tense page-turner and I was always curious to what was going to happen next.
