Here’s a message from Radiolab to my tattoo’d readers (you know who you are):
Hi, all, I’m with the National Public Radio-syndicated science show “Radiolab” that has a large national and international following (http://www.wnyc.org/shows/radiolab/). Mr. Zimmer appeared on our show last season, in the “Parasites” episode.
I’m in search of people who have tattoos of extinct species of plant or animal, ideally people in the greater New York City area. We’re trying to gauge the feasibility of doing a video piece on this subject for Radiolab. Please let us know via radiolab@wnyc.org if you are itching to share your extinct species tattoo story with our funky radio show!
Perhaps we’ll be calling it VideoLab soon?
Update: Be sure to send a copy to me, too, for the Tattoo Emporium.
