    Another Reason Neil Gaiman Is Awesome

    Burton Olivier wrote to the "Sandman" author with his plans for a Gaiman inspired tattoo. Gaiman wrote a poem called "I Will Write With Words of Fire" specially for the tattoo and asked comic book artist David Mack to design the image.

    Neil Gaiman's poem "I Will Write Words of Fire" was tattooed on Burton Olivier's back, along with an image designed by comic book artist David Mack.

    The design is also being sold as a silkscreened print. Half of the proceeds will go to the Comic Book Legal Defence Fund.
