Author Branding?
- - November 19th, 2009
Tempest Rising author Nicole Peeler wants to know: Should she get this fabulous vampire heart from her first book tattooed on her? I am sure the illustrator Sharon Tancredi agrees with me: ABSOLUTELY!
But leave room, Nicole! Sharon is designing a special heart for each book. Next you’ll have to get the fire-and-dagger heart from Tracking the Tempest!
So go to Nicole’s blog and let her know what you think.
Meanwhile, anyone else have or want to have an Orbit tattoo? I particularly think Gail Carriger needs to get the Octopus symbol from the spine of Soulless tattooed on her. And Jesse Bullington, you at least need to get the skull, if not the whole illustration from The Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbart.
Of course, this from the girl with the Elvish tattoo and a Mike Mignola illustration from Hellboy.
Any more suggestions of great potential tattoos from Orbit books?

Tee hee!!!! Let’s be glad my mother hasn’t figured out how to google me. ;-) She’d have a heart attack.

Go for it Nicole! Kinda sugar skull nosferatu, which is just the best of all possible worlds. And in re: Grossbart ink, I may well do something with beards and skulls in the future…pics if and when it happens!

How about A. Lee Martinez getting his Monster logo?
Or Andrzej Sapkowski getting the Blood of Elves shield?

Nicole should totally do it. I’ve already offered to go with her.
Does it count if an author’s tattoo inspired the cover? The design for Sabina Kane’s birthmark in my RED-HEADED STEPCHILD came from the eight-point star I had tattooed on my upper back the year I started writing fiction.

I say go for it too!!! I actually really like the heart vampire design. :) I’d have to get some text with it too though. :)
