Bookish Tattoos ; Permanent Literary Love

  This post came to mind because for the longest time I've had tattoos planned for almost my whole body. Since I am in college to be a high school teacher obviously these are more often fever dreams. However, I fully intend on getting what I can, while I can. I'll preface this by saying that I know tattoos aren't everyone's thing and I get that, but discriminatory or rude comments won't be tolerated.

   I will be getting a tattoo this winter (hopefully) and it will be literary themed (there will be pictures) and I think I'll keep it a surprise until I get it. It is from a fantasy series, and that is all the hint you'll get. I am getting sort of sister tattoos with one of my best friends so it is going to be a lot of fun!
Anyway I wanted to share five of my favourite literary tattoos from around the web! (I made myself pick five different tattoos from five different books, or else it would have all been from the same book!)

The Raven

So obviously I had to put this here. I'm insanely jealous of whoever has this spectacular tattoo. Edgar Allan Poe is one of my favorite all time people, and the raven is one of my favorite all time symbols (no lie as I type this there is a fake Halloween raven right next to the computer). This art is beautiful! I would put a click through if I could find the artists/owners website but I cant find it! So sorry. For all of these pictures, if I could find artist info or anything you will be able to click on the title and go to the website. 

Game Of Thrones / A Song of Ice and Fire

There are a LOT of really great GoT tattoos, don't get me wrong. This choice was hard. Dany is my favorite character, yes even after ADWD. I just really love how this looks. If I ever got a GoT inspired tattoo (which I have thought about) it would be Valar Morghulis, however, if I was brave, I would be honored to have the lovely Dany on me forever. Khaleesi for life! 

 
 Lord of the Rings

Not gonna lie, when I found out the artist of this beautiful piece lived in my state my immediate thought was "find him". This is so crazy beautiful! The Balrog, the orcs, and the ever menacing eye of Sauron look crazy real. I'm so impressed. There are some really great LotR tattoos. This one takes the cake for me.

The Great Gatsby

Now. clicking the title linky will actually take you to a photoset of 15 Great Gatsby tattoos, which are all marvelous. This one is my favourite! The menacing eyes, whos meaning is highly disputed. The Great Gatsby is a great read, and a short one for those who aren't into reading so much.  

Where the Wild Things Are

Need I say more? My childhood in a tattoo. This tattoo is simple and cute, and I am envious. I thought this sweet little tattoo was a great way to end this brief journey of literary art. Is it not?
