Shelley Jackson's "Skin" Project

Phuc mentioned that he had tattooed a woman who was a "word" in Shelley Jackson's "Skin" Project. I can't remember what the word was, but I thought it was a interesting concept. Jackson created a story which she has given accepted participants a word from the story to tattoo on their body. The story will never be printed elsewhere besides on the bodies of the individuals getting the words tattooed on themselves. She even has a requirement on what type of font that the word is tattoo in. The interesting part is that the story will change as the "words" die off. Kind of morbid. Check out her website.


And...the word was "on."
