Biro Tattoos

Three queer teenagers. One mandatory residential. And a promise to be brave.Kelly has spent years hiding in plain sight, surrounded by friends who have no idea who he really is. Angel knows exactly who he is, but finding the courage to ask out his lifelong crush – and step onto the stage as drag queen Angel Devine – is another matter entirely. Caleb, meanwhile, is used to putting everyone else first, even when nobody seems to do the same for them.Thrown together for four days, the three form an unlikely friendship. Then, hidden inside an abandoned swimming pool, they discover the stories of queer boys who came before them – and a symbol that changes everything.With upside-down pink triangles drawn onto their wrists, they make a promise to each other: be brave.Back home, that means coming out, falling in love, finding chosen family, stepping into the spotlight and learning when putting yourself first is the bravest thing you can do.Biro Tattoos is a funny, heartfelt story about queer friendship, finding your people and the temporary marks that can change you forever.
