Inspiration : bird tattoos + DIY temporary tattoos
I've been having a love affair with bird motifs since many years now, so my heart skipped a beat when I saw a flock of birds' tattoo for the first time. I've been collecting them since then. I know bird tattoos are currently super trendy, but I love them anyway! As far as I'm concerned, I'm not ready for a tattoo (I have a VERY low tolerance to pain), so as an alternative, I opted for temporary transfer tattoos! Yes, just like those we found as inserts in bubble gums when we were kids.i carry your heart with me archive -- Contrariwise: Literary Tattoos

Everything was beautiful… -- Contrariwise: Literary Tattoos
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince comes out in theatres in 4 days. This is Ryann's tattoo: These are three little stars that appear on either end of the chapter title at the top of every page in all of the Harry Potter books. I got this because it is not a blatant reference to Harry Potter , but more of a secret one that only people that have read it will recognize. The series has a lot of personal meaning for me, so I thought an understated tribute would be appropriate.

Infinite Alphabet -- Contrariwise: Literary Tattoos
This alphabet tattoo was submitted by Margaret, who says: This tattoo is in my own handwriting. I used to be a librarian and I love the idea of the infinite potential of the alphabet. My tattoo contains the interconnectedness of all literary possibility, yet it was also very useful. I used it when I was putting books away, so I wouldn't have to keep saying the hard part of the alphabet a billion times a day.The Giving Tree "Once there was a tree and she loved a little boy." - From The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein.
