Books I Just Read Your Back and I Was Moved
posted by on July 23 at 12:00 PM
I know that some people get mad when we post photos of tattoos, but I consider this a special case. This Recording, whose blog I have been greatly enjoying of late, has a whole post of literary tattoos.
Some people have T.S. Eliot on their backs, one guy has the opening paragraph of A Tale of Two Cities tattooed on his inner forearm, and there are a lot of tattoos of Kurt Vonnegut quotes, too. I find it kind of sweet that these people are willing to print a favorite passage of a favorite book on their skin. But this photo…
…is way too totally fascinating to pass up.
The plus-thirty-years version of that picture is going to be even better.
Paul's words deserve to be written on some skank's butt crack.
Tell me again why tatoos are supposed to be cool? I bet Mark Driscoll has a few too.
She should have a tattoo that says, "Just Say NO to Crack."
"There is no limit to it's faith." Hott. That's exactly what I want to read when I'm rumping this sweet thang.
A Bible passage right above the ass crack. Nice.
Whichever guy is using her for her tits and ass can read that as he slips in between and up her asshole.
And they put an apostrophe in "its". Unless that's a mole.
You can tell she's a Christian by the bulls eye on her back.
Love may last forever, but I could probably get the job done in 10 minutes if I closed my eyes.
If I was getting a huge back tattoo, I would make sure I knew the difference between it's and its.
Yeah, the tattoo is nuts enough, but "it's faith" would be the dealbreaker for me.
Awesome. Nothing proclaims your love of the Jesus like a biblical quote tattooed above your ass crack.
I am so in love with Paul Constant.
There is also an extra space between the words "limit" and "to." Stuff like that drives me crazy.
Not to mention all the sentence fragments, e.g. "But rejoices in the truth."
I wonder if her butt will be rejoicing in the truth in 20 years.
You know I'm going to give the butt crack the benefit of the doubt and say she had to pull her pants down to show the whole tattoo and so that's why she's flashin' some crack.
I suppose if your sexual partners were all priests (or youth pastors?) this might be an added turn on for them?
Technically that tattoo is on her ass-neck.
What's wrong with crack again? Am I the only straight guy that thinks that skanky tats and low riding pants are just dandy?
Wonder if her clit ring has a jesus fish hanging off if.
*Pulls out and squirts love all over corintians...*
Well, isn't that just precious! Although I doubt the apostle Paul would approve of it being in such close proximity to the ass crack...
sweet. i'll submit my arms, which feature Ginsberg's "America."
*and dribbles on Corinthians for good measure*
@ 19: you may be the only straight guy, but you're not the only guy. I love 'em! Make that tat a bible quote, and it is downright hot!
Also, 20 FTW!
@19, You're in the wrong market if you have to ask that. How many hetero guys do you know would grammar proof a bible passage on a perfectly fine ass.
@14: Get in line!
Hello.
I'd white some words outta that passage.
"I'm gonna go all Corinthians on her ass" now has meaning. God be praised!
You know, I used to get all up in arms about people having stupid, stupid designs tattooed on their bodies without thinking about the potential consequences, but I'm older and more jaded now and I just don't give a shit any more.
You wanna get some fake-Chinese characters that look like the word for "this side up" inked on your back? Go for it, guy. You want a barbed wire pattern around your bicep? Great, just don't go to prison. Tramp stamp for the lady? Make sure you get the ultra-low-rise jeans and g-string to show it off properly, and read up on how to have a baby without getting an epidural.
The Corinthians quote in the picture? It's precious, really. I kinda wish she'd used the NKJV, RSV, or NRSV, or hell, even the NIV, but it's not on my back, so eh. What I really love about it, though, is the implication: sure, you can have the back door now, but true love is patient and waits for the front.
good god tattoos are terrible.
I hadn't thought of that implication, Greg. True Love Waits.
how about just the alphabet in one's favorite font?

I'm kind of surprised no one has noticed that it actually MISQUOTES Corinthians.
Not only does is say "preserves" when it should be "perseveres," but they left out the whole section about "When I became a man.." and went crazy with random capitalization.
Having a stupid tattoo is bad. Having a mis-spelled and mis-quoted stupid tattoo is priceless. For everyone else, at least.
@35: We noticed, but it's cruel to mock people who are mentally challenged.
Men have been mis-interpreting and mis-quoting the Bible for years. Why can't a chick with a nice ass do the same?
I bet Jesus would totally nail that chicks ass, if he was'nt gay that is.
Could have been worse.
Could have been done in Comic Sans.
W.W.J.T What Would Jesus Tat?
@39 You just freaked me out with that.
also, just noticed "f[ass]cinating to p[ass] up.
*titters*
I was planning to have the Vagina Monologues tattooed on my calves, but after this post, I've changed my mind...
"Love is patient. Love is kind." PERFECT thing to tattoo right above your ass. Nice work.
"Love is patient. Love is kind. But I'm neither, so quit reading the fucking book I had printed on my ass neck you fucking nimrod and shove your cock in my ass."
St Paul is doing backflips in his grave. It must be karma. The universe is getting back at him for all the nasty things he said about women being unfit for leadership.
Well, isn't that nice Bible verse?
But I want to see a tramp stamp tattoo of a Jheri-curled Samuel Jackson with a Desert Eagle .45 pointed at you, and "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides", etc etc.
God ya gotta love that Biblical Tramp Stamp
@ 40: What Would Jesus Tap?
What a waist of space...
