I have some reviews going for this week but I wanted to post a question about literary tattoos. As a lover of words and books I know if I where to get any permanent ink on my skin it would be a quote of some sort. I've even managed to narrow my list to only two:
I am no bird; and no net ensnares me.
(from the most amazing book of all time--Jane Eyre)
or
Answer.
There some websites that post literary tattoos, like Contraiwise and Tattoo Lit and both sites rock some pretty sweet tattoos.
But my questions is this... has a sentence or phrase every struck you so hard you would be willing to tattoo it to your body? Which one? Tell me! I'd love to know :)
This isn't necessarily a literary quote per se, but "My chains are gone / I've been set free" has always been one I've considered for a tattoo. (It's from "Amazing Grace" as redone by Chris Tomline btw.) There's something about that phrase that really rings true for me - I can't necessarily explain why. I guess it just embodies everything that I treasure about my salvation.
ReplyDeleteAgain, not sure if this answers the question, but there it is. :)
