The Tattooist's Chair

By Karl Riordan

Karl Riordan spent much of his late teens in a tattooist's studio, fascinated by the declarations of love, badges of pride and intricate designs that reminded him of the Stilton legs of his grandfather, a miner tattooed by a working life spent underground. In his powerful debut collection, Riordan recalls and celebrates growing up in the South Yorkshire coalfield - holidays and haircuts, football pools and pool halls, Mackeson and Temazepam, Saturday night and Monday morning.
