"Drew's unique tools to help sharpen resilience, mental fortitude, and overcome personal tragedy and grief are told in a fresh and inspiring way. His ability to laugh when others might cry and to poke fun at himself had me laughing out loud throughout the book. A total badass read!" -Clint Emerson, retired Navy Seal, New York Times bestselling author

"Man...this book speaks to me. I wish I had this book all those years I was scrapping just to put food on the table, trying to break into the country music industry. And I love the vulnerable, human way the book uses Drew's specific tattoos to cover so [many] topics everyone will benefit from." - Elvie Shane, country music singer

"As a professional race car driver in NASCAR, I know what it's like to be the underdog. Under My Skin will inspire every underdog who knows backwards is never an option!" -Spencer R Boyd, NASCAR driver

Under My Skin is not a story about tattoos or body art. It's about Drew Plotkin's 'f_ck the rules' mindset as he travels from New Jersey to Hollywood and even around the world, seeking to unravel his greatest mystery and piece together his biggest puzzle: Himself. From landing (briefly) on death row, to directing A-list Hollywood celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton and many others, plus even somehow ending up featured in Framing Britney Spears, it's a hilarious and brutally raw, honest story about success, failure, love, heart-breaking loss, and most of all, finding the resilience and mental strength to always get the f_ck back up, and back on top.

As an Emmy-nominated journalist, a bizarre series of life-altering events led to Drew spearheading mega-commercial brands with huge success and over 1 billion dollars in worldwide revenue. Drew's genuine life story is a rollercoaster ride where he reveals painful secrets of his past, along with his own techniques and tools for continuously navigating life's never-ending trail of valleys and peaks.

This is a story about learning to survive so you can thrive. It's about a real-life human POST IT(R) note morphing his body into his own roadmap to finding peace and healing with the past, awareness for the present, and safe passage and wisdom for all that lies ahead. It's a piss-in-your-pants funny yet deeply moving true story of one man's journey to becoming the Derm Dude(TM). One tattoo at a time.
