So it goes.

I'm trying to figure out a good placement for what would be my fourth or fifth tattoo, depending on how you count them. hopefully this counts as "literary", as well...

Finally! I grew up with my mother reading Esiotrot by Roald Dahl to me most nights before I went to sleep, and it's always been my favourite childhood book. For those who haven't had their coffee yet this morning, Esiotrot = Tortoise backwards =]

translated text or original text?

i've always been curious because i've thought about getting certain quotes in their original language. however, would i be better off with a translation if this is how i understand it?

thoughts, pretty please.

I would love to see anyone's Steinbeck tattoos, especially quotes or one-worders. I'm thinking about getting the word "Timshel" incorporated into a tattoo I'm planning but am not sure if I want just the word or a phrase from Lee's speech on timshel or "Thou mayest".

Closed my eyes, and I thought I was back to the same place.
going to be late, I was pretty sure I was going to be late.
who cares, there is so much more to life than work.
Mice Parade, Focus on a Roller Coaster. One of my favorites, and I smiled.
 I could hear the guitar strumming in the background,
and I was riding on the sidewalk to avoid cars, I swerved past some low branches.
I stopped. he stopped.
I crossed, and he took the foot off the break.
 Closed my eyes, and I took a deep breath.

Does anyone have any Stephen King tattoos or even tattoos OF your favorite author? If so, may I see? Make sure to leave their names aswell :) Thank you!

Hello! I've had my heart on getting this quote from The Little Prince tattoo'd on me since last summer: You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. The only thing I'm unsure about is font and placement.

In terms of font, I want something realy classy and neat looking. I'm really fond of Jane Austen and Renaissance, but I'm a bit paranoid that Jane Austen is going to bleed and become difficult to read over time.

( Font Examples )

As for placement, I haven't the faintest idea. I like how the quote looks with the forever sandwiched between the two commas, so I don't really want to split it into two lines, but if it must be done, I'd like it split how I've done so in the image. I don't want it on my back because I have bacne scars (TMI, I know) and I don't want it on my stomach because I plan on having children in the future and I'm terrified of the tattoo abuse that would occur. Hmmm... I think that's around it. I know I sound really picky, but I would REALLY appreciate any suggestions you guys could offer and I promise to keep an open mind :)

I'm moving to Italy but I still want to participate in the episode discussion posts as they happen in the US. How would I be able to accomplish this? People in Canada don't get Hulu so I doubt I'll be able to get it in Italy. One person said I would have to wait for weeks for the show to catch up/come on where the USA is currently. Others say I would have to rely on streams. I hate this idea because I frequently see so many complaints about streams going down. What to do?

my new literary tattoo, my eighth in total.
inspired by the book the time traveler's wife. i believe it's actually from a poem by andrew marvell called to his coy mistress.
i adore this book and this line jumped out at me. i love what it means to henry and clare within the book but i'm not so sure it actually transpires to my life at all. but i'm okay with that, i don't think all of my tattoos need a meaning personalised to me other than i simply loved the idea. i don't want to try and attach meaning where there is nothing but adoration.
it's not a direct quote, i shortened it. the original is 'had we but world enough, and time'
anyway, enough babbling and on to the pictures.

I also got a Mickey Mouse logo behind my ear at the same time, but that's not literary :p

 been a while :) Happy New Year Everyone!!~

Вообще-то это была кошка.

Hey literary lovers. My name is Sara and I currently run a literary blog with a friend of mine. We are participating in a new feature called 'Tattoo Tuesdays' (created by our good friend Tara) where we do a post featuring one kick ass person sporting a literary tattoo that we love.

Before we start just randomly picking pictures off the internetz we thought we would ask if there was any one out there willing to let us feature them! Nothing too hard we just put up the picture and hopefully a little blurb about your reasoning behind choosing it.

If any one would be excellent enough to offer up their tattoos for our readers viewing pleasure we would be forever grateful!! Just comment back here or shoot me a PM if you want to participate!! You all rock either way.

----EDIT----
Thank you so much to everyone that has offered their tattoos up so far!!! We are going to try to showcase certain people as well as themes  (exmp: Shakespeare tattoos).  If would be wonderful if those interested could either e-mail (scauvi1@gmail.com)  me with their pic/story or PM me.  Other wise I will try to contact you all slowly but surely as we get our posts up!! Thanks so much again.

Also be sure to check out 25HourBooks  the blog that started this excellent idea.  I am sure she would be happy to feature any of you as well.
