Regardless of the driving forces, here are some attractive literary tattoos that anyone can flaunt with élan.

Few common ones to stun all and sundry

Lines from favorite poems

Think of Invictus and you will know what we mean. Few quotes as ‘it matters not how strait the gate/how charged with punishments the scroll’ can get so inspiring and interesting. One of the best snippets in literature from William Ernest Henley can occupy the arms or even the wrist and stun all those who thought literature can never compete to take a pivotal place in one’s body part.

All time favorites

‘Explanations take such a dreadful time’… Remember the conversation between Alice, Gryphon and the Mock Turtle in Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’? Written decades ago, yet the book has not and will never lose its appeal. As much as the pages have remained a firm favorite among readers all over the world, many have taken to inking such beautiful lines. There are plenty of tattoos derived from famous lines of this book and few look delightful when illustrations of Sir John Tenniel are combined in the designs as well. Another notable collection that made a chunk of readers stay hooked to the world of bibliophiles is the Harry Potter series.  They have inspired a fair share of tattoos among freaks of the present generation.

Books adapted to movies

Although movies appeal to most of us for there is a certain visual appeal to it, few of them are courtesy; the prolific imaginary bent of mind of writers. Think of life-altering quotes as ‘It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we are free to do anything’ from Chuck Palahniuk’s ‘Fight Club’ or a simple word as ‘Okay’ from John Greene’s ‘The Fault in our Stars’ that convey so much. It also depends on the font or color or even the place where one feels to get drilled that impart literary tattoos their power.
