Tattoos based on literature: A website

This website is focused on tattoo that are based on literature. Such as Shel Silverstein, Harriet The Spy, and Peter Pan..
The use of child literature as inspiration for tattoos has become a very popular occurrence. I think this is because people feel comfortable with the idea of childhood memories as a permanent part of their body.
I found out about this website about two weeks ago when I went into a Boarders book store after class one day..
A young employee walked up to me, she recognized my tattoo's Galatea and Pygmalion reference and  that my Alice In Wonderland tattoo was from the early version of the tale- the one my grandfather read as a child.
Comment!!! What do you think of lit tattoos, are they silly??
