Dorothy Parker's Elbow: Tattoos on Writers, Writers on Tattoos - Paperback

by Kim Addonizio (Editor), Cheryl Dumesnil (Editor)

Previously considered the domain of bikers and a rite of passage in the services, tattoos have crawled from society's fringes and onto the ankles of starlets and the biceps of bankers. In this volume, stories from writers including Sylvia Plath and Ray Bradbury capture the tattoo experience.
