The Book Pirate’s Musing on… Literary Tattoos
The Book Pirate’s Musings on…
Literary Tattoos
The other day when I came across the blog featuring pictures of literary tattoos I began to consider what literature inspired tattoo I would commit to my body. Many people seem to favor Kurt Vonnegut. Since I haven’t read any of his works, I can’t really jump on that particular bandwagon. Another popular choice is designs from children’s books such as Dr Seuss or The Giving Tree. Both are fine, and a Dr Seuss tattoo could be cool if I could find a design of his that I liked. But I was never a big Dr Seuss fan as a kid. If I were to get a tattoo from the children’s book that I liked as a lil’ Book Pirate, it would have to be from Miss Nelson Is Missing.
Unfortunately, Miss Nelson/Miss Viola Swamp is not someone I want tattooed on my body.
I would probably end up going with my next favorite childhood book. It was the Choose Your Own Adventure Series. I loved them. I use to collect them until one day they were mysteriously donated to the library which I don’t recall giving my consent to do that.
So my tattoo would be Choose Your Own Adventure themed. The story would start on my right arm and you would have to look at different parts of the body to continue the story. I would become a walking book. To demonstrate how I envision this, I have created a little demonstration.
Edit: This little demonstration doesn’t seem to work if you are viewing this post via an RSS feed of sorts.

Before I get this tattoo though, I would have to get over my fear of needles. Until that day comes, I recommend the book Pretty Little Mistakes by Heather McElhatton. It’s a Choose Your Own Adventure inspired book for adults that I have had since it came out and still haven’t found all the endings. Fantastic.

That's awesome! I think you'd have to have the writing pretty small though if you were to have a whole choose your own adventure book inked on your body. Personally, I don't know what I would choose either. If I were to go with a childhood favorite, I'd probably go with something from Roald Dahl. That tattoo site was seriously cool though. I loved looking through all the pics.
