Outrageous Lit Ink

The Daily Beast                                       

Forget butterflies or skull and bones, the new tattoo fad is Plath, Faulkner, and other quotes from famous authors.
A new book, The Word Made Flesh: Literary Tattoos From Bookworms Worldwide, is a well-designed and thoughtfully curated collection of the very best body art received by the authors, accompanied by a few words from each inked-up contributor. David Goodwillie spoke to authors Justin Taylor and Eva Talmadge. Plus, view the most notable literary tattoos, from odes to David Foster Wallace and Marcel Proust to a full arm sleeve devoted to Twilight.
