ABOUT BODY TYPE

"BODY TYPE: Intimate Messages Etched in Flesh" is the first book devoted entirely to typographic tattoos. "BODY TYPE" is in its third printing, and it may be found in museum shops and design bookstores all over the world. Volume two of "BODY TYPE" is coming in 2009!

It has been called INSPIRING, SHOCKING, AND VOYEURISTIC... "BODY TYPE" explores the ideas and emotions behind this indelible commitment. From Shakespeare to Radiohead, from Dante to James Joyce, from celebrations of love to homage and memorial, the wide breadth of messages captured provides insight into the human condition.

BODY TYPE is not only for tattoo aficionados, but also for all lovers of the written word.

BODY TYPE is full color; hard cover with jacket, 192 pages and over 200 photos.
