I have thought about getting one, but could never choose what quote was worthy enough to be permanently inked on my body. I’ve always wanted to find someone with a literary tattoo and ask them, why did you choose that? This book gave me answers. It was wonderful to read the motivations behind some of these works of art. From small quotes, to back piece excerpts, to drawings that pay homage, the book covered a wide spectrum of passionate people who chose to show the impact that literature has had on them. The Word Made Flesh: Literary Tattoos from Bookworms Worldwide is a visual book containing photographs of literary tattoos from all around the world. There were plenty of quotes, literary scenes and bookish motifs, and while I liked many of them, none enough to consider getting one for myself. The Word Made Flesh: Literary Tattoos from Bookworms Worldwide is a great read (or flick through book) for bookworms and those who enjoy the body art of tattoos. Obviously not for everyone. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Don't get me wrong, I find tats fascinating....especially those that are good art piece, such as Irezumi.. And, I suppose as a bibliophile, I might like the ones in this book....they are after all "Literary" art, but i really don't.
There were four I did like, 3 which were copies of Shel Silverstein (Where the sidewalk ends & The Giving Tree), as well as Harriet the Spy.
For myself, the majority of these tats are beyond Good Art Pieces (I don't mean this as a compliment) and definitely "personal" statements.
To each his own...... Hey! That might make a GREAT Statement as a tat! Not! ( )
