Penguin has created a new line of books known as Penguin Ink. Already published adult novels are getting a face lift with new cover designs created by tattoo artists. Paul Buckley is the design director for this new line.
The first six novels are being re-released at the end of June. They are:

And in case you missed it in an earlier post, some adult Penguin Classics have been redone to have intricate typography covers in shades of black, white, and red - the red is to spark AIDS awareness, the cause behind the repackaging. Read more about the Penguin Classics here.

Cool stuff. I was curious if you knew any books where tattoos were a major part of the novel itself. If you know of any, I'm working on an essay on tattoos and their role in the deconstruction of class-- please drop me a line at Andrew.Cerrone001 @ UMB.edu
Thanks!
