A Braille Tattoo With a Bjork Twist

Today's "Word of the Day" is braille and I learned quite a bit about it when I was researching its etymology. Among my discoveries, was this unique and uber-creative braille tattoo. Not only had I never seen a braille tattoo before, but the sprinkles on the cupcake were what the content of the braille WAS; and that would be the lyrics to Bjork's song 'Bachelorette' off the Homogenic album:Photo by the_girl

I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
You're the bird on the brim
Hypnotized 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 are the one ((tagg)) who grows distant

I'm a Bjork fan too. I have her portrait tattooed on my leg (photo below), but I do believe that hers is much more clever.
