Dang, what's up with all these books?

I really want a literary tattoo. This is my inspiration. None of these are mine. I post all sources or I will say when I can't find one. If your tattoo is on here and you want it taken down, please let me know. I will be happy to do so. Also, if you want to submit your tattoo, I would love it!

Thanks to everyone for making literary month amazing!! We did so many awesome literary tattoos, and collected A TON of books for Portland Books to Prisoners. 

Speaking of awesome literary tattoos, LOOK HOW AMAZING this tattoo by Niki is!! The book closes when she closes her arm!! We are so jealous for not thinking of this.

feminineeffects: my stick and pokes - a (not yet finished) comma and a period. my way too contrived meaning: i’ve always wanted a literary/writing tattoo near my hands to remind me to keep writing and keep going no matter what. it’s a visual reminder that the process has started and i just have to keep going and finish it up before i can move onto the next thing. the comma means that i’ve already started the sentence — the hard part of beginning is over and the process has already begun, but maybe i’m just at a tricky spot and unsure of where to go next. the comma represents a pause and it’s needed so that you don’t run out of breath. it also separates ideas so that they don’t get confused and muddled up together. the period is the end of the sentence — the goal, the endpoint, the finish line. but the end of the sentence is not necessarily the end of the story. a period is just the end of the thought. the logical conclusion. the thing that needs to happen to let the other, deeper, more meaningful things happen next. it’s seems like the end, but it’s not. the period is not final. it encourages you to continue on to the next sentence and to start the process over so you can see what happens next.
