Long before my interest in medicine arose I was, and will always will be, a die hard bibliophile. No matter how many periods I go through in which I abandon literature for textbooks, I’ll always cherish the artistry of the written word.

Therefore I was very happy to find Contrariwise, a blog of literary tattoos.

It was nice to see some of my favorite authors and quotes inscribed on the flesh of fellow “Word Nerds.” I’ve decorated jewelry and clothing with such things many times.

Have a look.
