Overview

Swiss creative lab HappyPets have released a series of tattoo-themed short stories in a long-format zine called Ink.  The fictional stories, published in association with KesselsKramer and available in a limited edition print run of 250, are humourous anecdotes that shed some lighthearted light on the practice of permanently marking one's body. As the book's publisher explains, "Sometimes, tattoos act as permanent post-it notes for the ideas and people you love. At other times, they are frivolous creations, made on a whim, as a joke or to appease fashion. Ink explores all of these motivations in an eclectic mix of short stories from international writers."

If you're ink-inclined, you can purchase a copy of the book for US$79 here.
