A guide to the emerging subculture of literary tattoos -- a collection of 100 full-color photographs of human skin indelibly adorned with quotations and images from Pynchon to Dickinson to Shakespeare to Plath. Packed with beloved lines of verse, literary portraits, and illustrations -- and statements from the bearers on their tattoos' history and the personal significance of the chosen literary work -- The Word Made Flesh is part photo collection, part literary anthology written on skin.
