TAILS is the third book by former Sharpie Julie Mac that shares the unique 1960s-1980s Australian Sharpie subculture. Sharpies were a mid-century working-class youth movement that was despised by conservative society. Overlooked, hated and ignored for fifty years, Sharpies can now proudly claim their rightful place in Australian social history and these are their tales.

Come on an armchair adventure with Mac and other former Sharpies, as they describe their adolescent fight for diversity and acceptance in a hostile environment. A battle for the right to wear the hairstyles, fashions, tattoos and piercings of their choice.

This book is for every alternative teenager (or adult) missing their Tribe. Sharpie, Goth, Emo, Punk, Skater, Stoner, Metalhead and Misfit. It’s not for Sucks, Dags, Straights or Norms, unless they are studying it for pointy head, academic purposes!
