Leonard Cohen On Tattoos Collection

In this exchange from On the road to singing sensation, a 1966 CBC TV interview, Leonard Cohen exercises the poet’s prerogative of re-interpreting and manipulating the interviewer’s words and his own to distract and deflect:

Leonard Cohen: … I thought that I would … get a tattoo
Beryl Fox: Where?
Leonard Cohen: There’s this place on St. Lawrence Blvd.

As far as I can determine, Leonard Cohen never got that tattoo – but many of his admirers do sport inked images of and words inspired by the Canadian singer-songwriter on their bodies and those specimens are the focus of the Leonard Cohen On Tattoos photo series.

    I have a tattoo from unified heart symbol. Soon I will make another one on my back for the celebration of my 20th birthday and the future album… I’m a fan of Leonard Cohen and all of the crazy dreamers… I’m from Portugal and would like to show you the art of my body thats makes my soul free and always inspired me to be a little monster of love.. I can’t describe the feeling that is to be like a kid with a crazy dream…but it’s very honored to share this with you..

    you can see my tattoo on
