Kate says “…via my arm. in case you are wondering, it’s bauer bodoni, semi-bold. ”

Part of the growing number of ampersand tattoos.

Lizz says:
“Its in typewriter font. It reminds me to keep writing, because I love to write.”

Flickr user letsread wrote me this:

it’s ITC caslon 540 italic from the book figgs & phantoms by ellen raskin–which incorrectly identifies the ampersand as garamond

Also she has a blog.

Janet also sent me hers:

my friend just directed me to your blog – i love it! i have an ampersand tattoo. it’s a direct copy of the ampersand on the cover of the book “& Fork” published by phaidon. it’s an ampersand that was designed specifically for that cover, and it’s gorgeous

I think both of these are pretty great. In fact, they remind me of one of my favorite ampersands.
