I find tattoos fascinating. I’m always interested in what designs people choose to put on their bodies – I want to know the stories behind them. You can only imagine what I think of literary tattoos.  Lucky for me, I live in Portland, OR, one of the most tattooed cities in the US. What books, what authors, what quotes and images stick with you? What sticks with you and becomes important enough to put on your body permanently?  What are favorite tattoos you’ve seen?

Check out these links to tattoos of books & literary tattoos:

Not quite ready for permanent ink?  Maybe these temporary tattoos or maybe these 

Also, some kid books about tattoos:
