In response to: Permanent Ink: Tattoos for Readers jesseja commented: why not put temporary tattoos of book covers in new books so you could advertise what you're reading if you choose to? great marketing.

In response to: Permanent Ink: Tattoos for Readers Reka commented: I was a huge Nancy Drew fan as a kid, so when I went to get my first tattoo I brought in one of the original blue and orange hardcovers from the 1930s and had Nancy's silhouette, the one with the cloche had and bias-cut dress, tattooed on my arm. My favorite thing about it is that people of all ages recognize that it's Nancy and get bright-eyed as they tell me how much they love the books. I would love to get a Moomin tattoo one of these days, but I haven't really figured out what or where. My cat is called Little My, though, so perhaps that's enough.

In response to: Permanent Ink: Tattoos for Readers maroon mouse commented: Intruigingly enough, the owner of that connect-the-dots tattoo *works* in kids' books -- that's Colleen Venable from Roaring Brook. Proof, I think, that kids' book people really ARE the coolest....

In response to: Permanent Ink: Tattoos for Readers Anne commented: I have a book tattoo - Shelley Jackson published her short story 'Skin' in the form of tattoos, one word per person and I'm one of her words!

In response to: Permanent Ink: Tattoos for Readers writeroffthelake commented: Ahhhh...if that phonetic alphabet was a braille alphabet instead, you could read it instead of seeing it. Hummmm...maybe an idea for a character in a future novel. [Mind: make note of that!]

In response to: Permanent Ink: Tattoos for Readers writeroffthelake commented: I LOVE the idea of the temporary tattoos in the book covers of new books. I'd DEFINITELY wear them (yes, I have worn temp tattoos and have been looking for more), but only for the books I like. Sure beats the usual bookmark, of which I have enough of for the rest of this life time, thank you.

In response to: Permanent Ink: Tattoos for Readers Davida commented: I have an ex libris plate with an open book, tiny devil and pen on the inside of my bicep. The woman who did a small tattoo on my back had one of the greatest book tattoos I've seen before a since - the cover illustration from Still Life with Woodpecker on her thigh.

In response to: Permanent Ink: Tattoos for Readers Mary commented: Alison, you should get the hookup, as I did, from your sister-store. I bought the Illustrated Librarian tattoo book from the Brookline Booksmith.

In response to: Permanent Ink: Tattoos for Readers Cover To Cover commented: we have made temp tattoos a couple of times with the permission of artists Calef Brown and Marla Frazee, and our logo and phone. Super cute! If I were to ever get permanent ink it would be either Snowy in his space suit or Moomintroll.

In response to: Permanent Ink: Tattoos for Readers xmassheep commented: Could you perhaps let me know/ask my permission in future if you are going to link to my flickr page? I actually had a set for these pictures with a disclaimer on regarding the copyright of the images as I'm a little uncertain of the image rights and don't wish to be sued.

In response to: Permanent Ink: Tattoos for Readers ShelfTalker commented: xmassheep, Sorry! I came across your photos via a keyword search, which took me to individual images rather than the actual set, which means I never saw your disclaimer. I've taken out the link and will definitely get your permission before linking to any of your pics in the future.

In response to: Permanent Ink: Tattoos for Readers xmassheep commented: Hey, no problems. You could have kept the link - I was just worried about not showing the disclaimer which is why I commented. Such is life (and keyword searches!)

In response to: Permanent Ink: Tattoos for Readers Kirsty commented: I'm really looking forward to getting a book tattoo. Want an open book on my ankle or maybe wrist. The ones above are great! It'll be my third tattoo and I really want it to be something personal.
