The first book devoted entirely to typographical tattoos, Body Type: Intimate Messages Etched in Flesh explores the ideas and emotions behind this indelible commitment. This stunning photography collection features commentary on the letterforms by renowned graphic designer and typographer, Ina Saltz, as well as personal recollections by the tattooed on the motivations for their chosen words. From Shakespeare to Radiohead, from celebrations of love and self to homage and memorial, the wide breadth of messages captured provides insight into the human condition. Inspiring, shocking, and voyeuristic, Body Type is not only for tattoo aficionados, but also for all lovers of the written word.

I was in a club at Cesar's Palace a few weeks ago when a girl grabbed me and shouted over the music "I know you! Your tattoo! it's in that book!" So incredibly random, getting recognized for my tattoo in Vegas! Thanks for including me in the book!
