I've never considered a tattoo before this...

Writer Shelley Jackson invites participants in a new work entitled “Skin.” Each participant must agree to have one word of the story tattooed upon his or her body. The text will be published nowhere else, and the author will not permit it to be summarized, quoted, described, set to music, or adapted for film, theater, television or any other medium.

More information can be found at the skin project site. It's a really interesting background to the project (it's only one page) so check it out. One big rule, if your word is a body part, you're not allowed to get it on that body part. Makes me wonder about the story itself....

It's actually one of those odd things mulling around in my head. I'd like to get a good word like “genius” or “universe”, it's a lot more appealing that getting something like “dork” or “limp”.

Found at Blades of Grass.
