We’ve seen some truly unique body mods and tattooing. Everything from watch and glasses implants to tattoos showing off our favorite obsessions. These Braille Tattoos don’t disappoint.
Implanted under the skin are braille-shaped spheres which allow the blind braille reader to read the words of your tat. I have no idea what the pictured braille tattoo says, but I’d love to know. Any of you know braille or feel like decoding the message?

I decoded it although it wasn’t much work. After the first two lines I googled it and just checked for accuracy.
Here it goes, the lyrics for Bachelorette by Bj�rk (part of them, at least).
i’m a fountain of blood
in the shape of a girl
you’re the bird of the brim
hypnotised by the whirl
drink me make me feel real
wet your beak in the stream
game we’re playing is life
love is a two way dream
leave me now return tonight
tide will show you the way
if you forget my name
you will go astray
like a killer whale
trapped in a bay
i’m a path of cinders
burning under your feet
you’re the one who walks me
i’m your one way street
i’m a whisper in water
secret for you to hear
you’re the one who grows distant
this is as much as can be seen, it probably continues 🙂
Have fun!
Awesome job! Thanks!
Why wouldn’t you contractionate it?! Ouchy ouch ouch! Braille contractions would have reduced the size of this paragraph by 50%, and most literate blind people hate uncontractionated Braille anyways. It takes forever to read.
