The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Knopf sent along some sweet temporary tattoos to celebrate Stieg Larsson’s “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” thanks to Joe for modeling said temporary tattoo. i have 25 tattoos to give away – let’s break a record for commenting on this blog! the first 25 (wishful thinking) Sno-Isle Libraries employees to comment will receive a temporary tattoo.
the question remains – how will Knopf commemorate “The Girl Who Played with Fire?” i can only imagine.

Japanese Tattoo - Tattoos
The sad fact is that you will not find a tattoo parlor in the yellow pages who can make such incredible artwork. This tattoo requires a Japanese artist, but anyway a trip to Japan might be worth the trouble.
There is another catch. This is not the sort of tattoo to show off to your friends. Japanese are way more subtle than this. They are supposed to be shown only to your girlfriend or boyfriend, or occasionally to the local Yakuza mob. Yep you are reading right, this is what subtlety is in Japan, I have heard that they are still working on it. Nobody gets it right in the first place you know? Also these tattoos will hurt… a lot, because they are still doing the whole damn thing manually, so for every dot of the tattoo expect a needle expertly inserted in your skin, that if you’re lucky of course and through the expert hand there isn’t some sake flowing.
