There’s nothing like getting lost in a good book. It’s especially an experience when a story resonates with your own life—whether it’s a character, a moment, or even just a quote. It can be hard not to want to relive it over and over.

Some people choose to. Some people love books so much that they actually get something that reminded them of that book permanently inked on their body. That’s right, we’re talking about literary tattoos, or tattoos that were inspired by famous books.

The tattoos can be anything from a quote to an image or a character. Whether in black or white or color, all of them are simply magical.
