  San Diego Museum of Man - Body Ornamentation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
For instance, Native American warriors tattoo personal totems on their chests to give the bearer inner strength; real and mythical animal tattoos in Southeast Asia provide magical protection for their wearers; and Polynesian fishermen protect themselves from sharks by tattooing a talisman on their legs.
Body art may also be a sign of prestige, as in the cases of Burmese and Laotian men with "trouser" tattoos who were considered courageous for their willingness to undergo the pain of the thousands of pinpricks required.
The current practice of tattooing the body seems to have surged in popularity as a means of self-expression.

 Books : The Man With the Red Tattoo
Raymond Benson's "The Man with the Red Tattoo" is a definite improvement from the last one: there are no longer long, drawn-out explanations of anything that slow down the story, but rather a real thriller.
James Bond in 'The Man with the Red Tattoo' has a constant pace that left me asking questions, wanting more, and just being thrilled in general at a steady rate.
This is both a weak and a strong point: the book never speeds up to any great climax (well it does, but not in a way that puts you on the edge of your seat), which is the flaw, but never slows down to a crawl, its strength.

 Amazon.co.uk: The Man with the Red Tattoo (James Bond): Books: Raymond Benson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Benson is a more thoughtful writer than Fleming, which leads, on the one hand, to some over-extended clumps of exposition in which he explains the right-wing politics of Japanese organized crime or the life-cycle of genetically-engineered mosquitos, but on the other hand to real conviction in his villains' motivations.
It's time for someone to put Bond back where he belongs in a novelization (I've given up hope for it in the movies)--in his correct time period, with the REAL Bond character, not Pierce Brosnan.
That was the closest to the Fleming atmosphere and characterization.
