Thinking of getting a tattoo but bored of all the skulls and knives going through skulls and knives with skull-shaped handles?
Perhaps you can get a literary tat.
Contrariwise is a blog dedicated to tattoos inspired from poetry, prose, etc. They show folks inked up with monsters from Where the Wild Things Are, Harry Potter's Deatheaters, quotes from The Satanic Verses (try explaining that to your mother), Slaughterhouse Five, James Joyce and Langston Hughes.
After seeing a few of the pics, I'm already inspired to get some new work done. Perhaps a quote from a Sue Grafton novel?
