You really shouldn't have posted these. I so love my recent tat (also a literary nod) and I'm getting the itch to get another

PIP it!  And what book inspired it?

Those are awesome. I've toyed with getting a "so it goes" tattoo.

Whelp, despite the fact that I JUST got a new tattoo, I really need another one now. These are awesome.

OMG, I love the Edward Gorey one.

There is another Edward Gorey one toward the bottom - its owner has incredible shoes.

luckyval, I love it!  And that poem and ee cummings in general

[luckyval]

Thanks nahoku! It was a combination nod to my son (Hart) and the poem

This link made me go back and read And Still I Rise. I love that poem so much and Maya Angelou's direct and simple voice

[mrsgoontz]

I love them all!

[janiejones]

the moby dick one is awesome!!

[midnightrae]

[winnied]

Ugh, I want another tattoo. I did before this and now I want one even more.

[vaportrail]

vonnegut was my first tattoo.  cliche, i know...

[themysteriouswife]

I have always wanted a tattoo of "The Giving Tree." I have yet to get it done. I really love the candle. "Invitation" is my second favorite Shel poem.

I love this. Some of these were so moving.

And some were the crispest I've seen (esp for intentionally more simple ones).




amberlyrose don't you go racing out to get this before you think it through

Shit, I got these yesterday-

But, for real, I've always thought I'd get an Alice in Wonderland tattoo if I were to get any.

The chest piece I have planned for when I have the funding includes that Tolkien quote from LOTR.

[gozf]

I love the Murikami and the Gorey.

Some of these are amazing. Now I feel the need for a new tattoo.

I have a Harry Potter tattoo, and it's definitely one if my favorites.
