9 tattoos inspired by some absolutely brilliant books

Getting a tattoo is often one of those things that is high on people’s wishlist, but just so tricky to get done.

Mostly because deciding on what to actually get an inking of can be tough enough.

People have drawn inspiration from their travels, their BFFs and even their favourite TV shows and movies. Another recent trend has been people turning to their favourite novels when looking for inking ideas.

From the A Song of Ice And Fire series to Harry Potter, there’s no shortage of books to draw inspiration from when considering getting an inking.

#bookishtattoo, #literarytattoo and the simple-but-straight-to-the-point #booktattoo are filled with thousands upon thousands of ideas from tattoo fans across the globe.

Here are some of our favourites.
