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!
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
T. S. Eliot
I got a new tattoo yesterday and ohh I love it so much! :3
The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock
“The awful daring of a moment’s surrender” from the last stanza of T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land
Datta: what have we given? My friend, blood shaking my heart The awful daring of a moment’s surrender Which an age of prudence can never retract By this, and this only, we have existed 5 Which is not to be found in our obituaries Or in memories draped by the beneficent spider Or under seals broken by the lean solicitor In our empty rooms
My favorite line from T. S. Eliot’s poem, “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.” I have it tattooed right on my ribs.
