Book Description
Body Type is an eye-opening look into the amazingly creative ways that
tattoo artists are utilizing typography. Whereas the majority of tattoo
art uses images to convey messages, here the message actually is the
image. Twenty-six alphabetical characters might not seem like much to
work with, but a look through these photographs reveals the contrary.
Here are truly unique social commentaries, expressions of love,
hilarious examples of biting satire, plus some mottos, intricate
logotypes, deeply personal song lyrics, and, of course, those tattoos
that exist for one reason only: to shock the hell out of you. The crisp
photographs are accompanied by an insightful commentary from renowned
graphic designer and typographer Ina Saltz, plus consistently
surprising and heartfelt explanations from the tattooed.

You're still an asshole.

Hans coming back does not save you.

Offering up stuff doesn't help you.


How do you exist?

And yes, you will answer. You have to. Puppet. Smelly, cum-soaked
sock puppet.

Perception. Opinion.

Trust me. I do not need any assistance with you.

Help? And who are you helping? HA! You're trapped in a prison of your
own making, imo.

Quite easily and happily. And you?

How about some of us start thinking about the remote possibility of burying
that war hatchet for some time ?
After getting up to speed with RAB, i found myself not so pleasantly
surprised with the never ending battles.
I think it's worse then alt.troll and the psych groups TOGETHER !
These wars do not serve any purpose since NO ONE outside RAB knows ANYTHING
about said endless bickering.
Really 95 % of slapping people around and 5 % OT....
Damn...
Must be me...
