Oct 18 2007Braille Tattoos, So The Blind Can Read You
The Braille Tattoo was designed by Klara Jirkova. It looks like a skin disease. They're steel, titanium, or medical plastic "bumps" that are implanted under the skin. So the blind can read them via touch. I'm not really too sure what to say except it seems gross as hell. But I'm not blind. Sometimes I wish I was though, because it turns out I'm dating the world's ugliest woman. Even my dog won't go near her -- and he's blind. I bet he smells the ugly.

This is nothing new - they're just making them smaller. I've "read" much larger braille tattoos before. At the strip club. Their message was "give me another twenty".

The tattoo says "sun" in Braille... so is the idea that the blind person feels her tattoo and says, "Oh, that's a lovely tattoo of a sun"? Somehow, it really loses something in the translation, doesn't it?
