   1 pligg.com You Contest in Honor of Steig Larsson… As I mentioned earlier when I posted my review of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, I was one of the 150 lucky bloggers given the opportunity by Alfred A. Knopf to participate in their Tattoo-You contest in honor of the publication of The Girl Who Play… Reply to this comment.

   2 I haven’t read Tattoo yet, but is currently on its way from the library (on audio). Lordy, I have had it on my wish list FOREVER. I am a bit worried about how the Swedish names will translate on audio, but I’ll survive somehow! As for a tatoo? No, I don’t have one. I’ve threatened to get one, after a night of drinking with my friends, but has never transpired. My husband would kill me! That is, unless it was somewhere that nobody else could see…hmmmm….

   3 I haven’t read either book, but I’m dying to — especially after reading so much about them in the blogosphere! I don’t have a tattoo and I’m probably not the tattoo type really; but if I did get one, it would be a tiny navy paw print in a pretty much hidden place — GO PSU! Reply to this comment.

   4 Yes, I do have a tattoo, the product of being 19. It’s nice, actually, and I don’t regret it. It’s a sun on my upper back. No, I haven’t read the first novel yet; it’s on my ridiculously long to-read list Thanks for including me in your giveaway. Amanda fitz12383(at)hotmail(dot)com Reply to this comment.

   5 I don’t have a tattoo, though I’ve long wanted one. I just can’t figure out where I can put it that won’t a) be a problem at work or b) stretch as I get older and, um, softer. I’ve definitely read the book and I can’t wait to read Fire! Reply to this comment.

   6 No tattoos here. I haven’t read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but I’ve had it for a while. Great contest! Reply to this comment.

7. Penny Posted: Aug 14th, 2009 at 10:22 am

   7 Nope, no tattoos here. Not that I don’t want one, but I just seem to keep finding other things to do with my money (like eat!). Haven’t read The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo yet either. I glad to see others haven’t read it yet either, because I was beginning to think I was the only person in the world who hadn’t yet. Reply to this comment.

   8 As long as getting a tattoo involves needles, I will NEVER get one (shudder). But if I weren’t afraid of needles, I’d likely get those tiny blue Polynesian fish around the base of my ankle. I am on disk 12 of 13 of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo! I love, love, love it. I follow you on twitter and in my Google Reader. Reply to this comment.

    13 Looks like I may be your first entrant with tattoos! I have two: A Phantom of the Opera full mask and rose on my shoulder and a Phoenix rising from the flames on my thigh. I have not read Dragon Tattoo yet, but it is one of the books I am hoping to get to real soon since I bought it when it first came out and I have not read it yet! UGH. I follow this blog and you on twitter. I’ve already tweeted the giveaway, and I’ll pop it in my sidebar. Reply to this comment.

    14 Not only do I have a tattoo, I have multiple ones at that. My newest work, which took 17.5 hours in the chair, over 1.5 years, was a full work on my entire back. It’s two large celtic cats crawling up my back. It’s intermingled with shades of green, to bring out the extensive celtic work. As for your book, I’d LOVE to read it, it’s on my list to read anyways Best, Dawn Reply to this comment.

    15 ?Do you have a tatto? No tattoo and no plans to ever get one (except temporary ones ) ?Have you read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? No, I haven’t read it yet but it is on my To-Be-Read list. Nice blog and cool contest. Reply to this comment.

16. Tracie Posted: Aug 14th, 2009 at 12:52 pm

    16 No tattoo. Though I do think that they are very hot on guys, but I’m too commitment-phobic to do it. I rearrange my furniture like once a month, how am I suppose to get a tattoo? No, I haven’t read The Girl Who Played With Fire. But it is on my to-read list. Reply to this comment.

17. Julie H. Posted: Aug 14th, 2009 at 12:52 pm

    17 No tattoos here! But yes, I’ve read Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and am anxiously waiting to read The Girl Who Played with Fire. Thanks! Reply to this comment.

    18 I have two tattoos; the Chinese symbol for strength on my right hipbone and a small lily on my back. I’ve never read Tattoo but it’s been in my pool on bookswim.com for quite awhile! Reply to this comment.

19. Kathleen Posted: Aug 14th, 2009 at 3:18 pm

    19 I have one tattoo on my ankle (a four leaf clover) and I haven’t read Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ye bt it’s been on my TBR list for awhile! Reply to this comment.

20. Jen - Devourer of Books Posted: Aug 14th, 2009 at 3:27 pm

    20 I own, but have not read, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. It isn’t that I’m not super excited about it, I just have SO many TBR books that I’m super excited about! Winning the sequel might be a good excuse to get to it, though… I don’t have a tattoo, although my mom tried to talk my sister and I into getting one with her on her 40th birthday. I just couldn’t think of anything that I wanted permanently on my body. I mean, who’s ever heard of a book tattoo? Reply to this comment.

21. rhapsodyinbooks Posted: Aug 14th, 2009 at 3:47 pm

    21 I have not read either book although I want to after all the rave reviews. And not only do I not have any tattoos, but I grimace when I see them, thinking of how they must have hurt!!! I’m glad when I was at the age of rebellion, tattoos and piercings weren’t “in” yet! :–) Reply to this comment.

22. diane Posted: Aug 14th, 2009 at 4:52 pm

    22 I really want to read both books by this author. So to anser your questions: NO to the book; and NO to a tattoo. dd DOT bookgoddess AT gmail DOT com Reply to this comment.

23. Diane Posted: Aug 14th, 2009 at 8:04 pm

    23 1. Nope, no tattoo. I like the artwork, and I intellectually get the idea of body art…but they gross me out, sorta. I think I keep picturing tattoos on the old-lady parts I’ll have some day. Ahem. 2. Yes, I read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo… and I LOVED it. It kept me engrossed during a long day when we were at the airport all day from 11am to 11pm while our flight was delayed. That was some good book — I didn’t even mind just SITTING there. Reply to this comment.

    26 I don’t have a tattoo…my mom, uncle and bro each have one, so I seem to be the family holdout. I haven’t read Tattoo, but it’s on the bookshelf! I’m looking forward to it. Reply to this comment.

27. itsJUSTme-wendy Posted: Aug 15th, 2009 at 7:46 am

    27 I have not read “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” yet. And it funny that you are giving away a temporary tattoo, because that’s all I wear! I always wanted a tattoo but never got one. I have this “thing” for Hello Kitty, and I get these temporary tattoos of Hello Kitty and put a different one everyday! My 20 year old daughter is embarrassed by it, but my husband loves them and thinks its cute. Please enter me in your contest – would love to win the book or the tattoo! Reply to this comment.

28. Beth Posted: Aug 15th, 2009 at 10:27 pm

    28 No, I do not have a tattoo. If I were younger and single I think I would get one though. I have not read the book. Reply to this comment.

    30 Yep, I’ve got a tattoo on my back (right shoulder). I got it when I was only 18 and wished I had waited until I was a bit older, that way I could have picked something a bit more meaningful than a flower!! Reply to this comment.

31. Valerie Posted: Aug 18th, 2009 at 9:23 am

    31 No tattoo for me- I’m too indecisive. I’m currently reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and am loving it so far! I would love to win!! Reply to this comment.

32. Grad School Mommy Posted: Aug 19th, 2009 at 10:39 am

    32 1) yes, i have one tattoo as of now. it’s on my right shoulder, and is a women’s sign wrapped in daisies. the women’s sign is a nod to my feminist identity and the daisies are in honor of my parents (both deceased). daisies were their wedding flower. 2) i am sorry to say that i haven’t read the first book yet…but i was intrigued after reading lots of great reviews. also, the story of Larsson’s life and untimely death has peaked my interest as well. i’m crossing my fingers that we reach your magic number because i’d *love* to read either of the Larsson books. thanks for the great giveway… Reply to this comment.

    34 I am currently reading the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and am hooked. I have one tattoo o n the inside of my left ankle. It’s an outline of MN. Yes, the state. It’s kind of a personal thing, but basically that is where I discovered who Natalie is. Reply to this comment.

    36 No tattoos. No plans to get tattoos, unless I win this contest, of course. As for the first book, I just picked it from the library this week and am looking forward to reading it after seeing a review of the second one around the book blogosphere. Oh, and I tweeted about your contest too. Reply to this comment.

37. Paula Posted: Aug 22nd, 2009 at 1:56 pm

    37 I am so glad I didn’t get a tattoo when I was younger cause that rose I wanted on my hip would probably be down by knee by now! I have wanted to read this one forever. Reply to this comment.
