2022 book 110

 June Gervais' Jobs for Girls with Artistic Flair

Well, this book ruled! It’s about a girl who just graduated high school and all she wants is to keep working in her brother's tattoo shop and train to be a tattoo artist herself—but it’s 1985 on Long Island and cool (queer) girl tattoo artists weren’t really a /thing/ back then. I really liked her friendships here, especially with one of the other tattoo artists, and of course I loved her growing relationship with the pretty protege of a local psychic. Just a really enjoyable read full of cute tattoo-style illustrations. A/A-.
