I'm a fan of literary tattoos. My favorite is pictured here on Harry Crews. (How do you like your blue-eyed boy Mister Death? from E.E. Cummings' Buffalo Bill's.) I'm not sure if it exactly fits the bill, but our friend Charles McNair, hero of the Wiregrass, has a banjo on his knee. Bad ass. Anyway, thought you might be interested in these here from the book The Word Made Flesh: Literary Tattoos from Bookworms Worldwide. (You can grab a copy -- and much, much more! -- from the Shoppes at Gangrey.)
