Any combination of the above

  1. I love quote tattoos! If I ever got a tattoo, it would most likely be a quote, and honestly probably from my favorite book! These are super cool!

  2. I've often considered getting a book tattoo. It would be hard to decide on one, though, especially after taking so many literature classes. I'd feel like I'd have to defend my reading of the text all the time.

  3. If I was to get a book tattoo, it would probably be something written by Ayn Rand, what can I say, she speaks to me.

  4. I'm a huge fan of tattoos! And I've always contemplated getting a tattoo representing The Great Gatsby since it's my favorite book. Anytime I see someone with a tattoo from a book I think it's great. But, I generally think that about tattoos anyway.
