BODY TYPE IN THE MEDIA

“Body Type” is currently in its third printing and has turned out to be a cult hit, especially amongst designers and type aficionados worldwide. It keeps popping up in many design blogs and Ina receives fan mail and photos sent to me from all corners of the globe (the latest is from Tasmania). There is word about “Body Type” sightings in far-flung international bookstores as well as all the major chains and specialty bookstores, and Urban Outfitters carried “Body Type” it in their 100 stores nationwide (it has since sold out).

Since “Body Type” was published, Ina has been interviewed on Access Hollywood, Fox News and CBS News, among others. “Body Type” has been recognized by the New York Public Library and the American Library Association, which both recommend it for young adult readers. Ina has had two solo shows of her photography from “Body Type,” accompanied by a great deal of newspaper and magazine publicity.

Ina has traveled all over to speak about her documentation of typographic tattoos, even as far away as Moscow in February, 2008 (see EVENTS). In December 2007, Inked magazine published a six page story on Ina's continuing work on “Body Type,” Volume Two. So Ina has become inextricably linked to the tattoo world, even judging tattoo competitions at the Inkslinger's Ball in Hollywood. She continues to collect typographic tattoos for the second volume of “Body Type,” which will be published in 2009.
