It started, "From "Ecclesiastes" to "House of Leaves," from Dante to Stephen King, "The Word Made Flesh: Literary Tattoos from Bookworms Worldwide" is a celebration of and tribute to the vibrant and vital Babel that is literary culture today."
.
Now there are a lot of reasons that would catch my attention! First, my love for Bible (Ecclesiastes). Second my interest in Stephen King. And hey, who can pass up the line "The Word Made Flesh." Which is a theological idea relating to the incarnation -- when God became flesh and. (Try John 1:14). I have a pastor friend who has Bible tattoo's all over him. They're pretty awesome. But for some reason, I never thought about a Stephen King tattoo. (Or, for that matter, an E.E. Cumming's tattoo!)
.
I went through Huffington's entire slide show, and I didn't spot the Stephen King tats. Go figure. So I did some hunting on my own and found some pretty cool stuff. My favorite is the first one -- Carrie on some dude's arm! Now that is beyond freaky.

I'm planning on getting a SK tattoo. It's one of my rewards for losing weight. I've always wanted a tattoo but couldn't figure out what to get till I saw this picture.
