Literary tattoos, also known as book tattoos, are a way for people to show how much their favorite books have meant to them. Most of these tattoos bring back great memories for their owners, whether because they were happy when they read the books or they learned something while they were flipping through the pages. Below we will take a look at why people choose to get literary tattoos and some designs you might like.

What’s kind of great about literary tattoos is that we are able to attach our own meanings to the stories themselves or the characters in them. In fact, some people will get completely different meanings than others for the exact same book. It’s all about where you were when you read them and how you were feeling.

Sometimes it’s worth it to get a literary tattoo just for the memory of reading the book rather than for something specific found in that book. For example, if you were dealing with a long bout of the flu and a book kept you mentally strong, that might be reason enough for you to get a literary tattoo. Or you might have a great memory of reading a book with your parents and you want to honor them by getting a specific book tattoo. The point is that there aren’t right or wrong reasons to get one; if you feel like it is the right type of design for you and you know you’ll always like it, that’s reason enough to get a literary tat.

Harry Potter tattoos are probably the most popular sets of literary tattoos out there right now. Some people like to get one or more of the book’s characters in their tattoos, especially the actors who played those parts in the movies. There are also quite a few Harry Potter symbol tattoos out there, each of which comes with its own meanings. Lastly, some people will pick out their favorite lines from the books and will get nice-looking Harry Potter text tattoos.
