Anotace knihy

Tattoo began in 1820 when William Smith, a young Scotsman, joined the American Army in Boston. By 1830, stationed in the Ohio River Valley, he becomes embroiled in a deadly conflict between settlers and Shawnee Indians, leading to his sentence to eternal life by the tribe's chief. This course is symbolized by a unique ritual tattoo - a red poppy with a smoking skull on his shoulder blade. It said he would be rich and poor, he would have a family but could not keep it, and he would have a lot of people around him but feel profound loneliness.
Over the next two centuries, William experiences waves of prosperity and despair, his life a rollercoaster of unpredictability. He thrives in various industries, from steel to real estate, with fabulous success and personal losses. His eternal youth complicates every relationship, forcing him into a nomadic lifestyle, moving from Oklahoma to New York and even overseas to Morocco, Paris, Tahiti, and Rio de Janeiro.
Despite his successes and the excitement of historical changes-from the Industrial Revolution to the digital age-Williams's inability to age isolates him.
As the 21st century begins, William's life in Miami is marked by philanthropy but remains hollow at its core.
A chance, violent encounter, breaking the spell.
