"Ok, a band you already have loads of tattoos.Are you sure you want another one? " "Its a reminder."(278)
The tattoos in this book holds a lot of power and meaning, especially in chapter 14 in which this quote is taken from. In this chapter, Lisbeth gets a small ankle tattoo after being raped by Bjurman.This small ankle tattoo represents her being in control of her body again. She chose to get the tattoo, she has the power to choose and does not have anyone like Bjurman controlling her.
