Do you have a literary tattoo? I’d love to feature it!
Just send me an email with a picture and story behind it.
OK so some might say “How is BtVS literary?”… I think that it’s from a script (so it’s just as literary as a play), and there are technically BtVS books… OK so I really love the tattoo and I think it counts so it does 
Here is epicbookshelves’ tattoo from an episode from Season 2 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I’m a big Buffy fan (shocking, I know). But the real reason I love this tattoo is because the quote is AMAZING and the placement and how she broke up the quote is very well-done!
Passion. It lies in all of us.
Sleeping.
Waiting.
And though unwanted -
unbidden -
It will stir,
open its jaws,
and howl.
Here is what she has to say about her tattoo and why she got it:
This is a quote from (the tv show) Buffy the Vampire Slayer. As soon as I heard it, I had to rewind and hear it again. I’m going through a divorce right now, and this quote really hit home with me. One thing I’ve decided and realized lately is that I don’t want to ignore that passion inside of me, whatever it may be in regards to. This is a reminder that I cannot supress my thoughts and feelings, desires, and passion for life. It’s a reminder to live the life I want.
Also, it doesn’t hurt that I REALLY love Buffy.

I feel like I post the same comment every week but once again I love this!
I love how it’s spaced as well. And a fabulous quote indeed!
@ Stacey (Say Something Stacey) : LOL I feel that way too
WOW! She did pick an excellent quote from that series (and there are so many to choose from). I like the way she broke it up
I can’t tell you how much Buffy changed me! That show was such a big part of my life! I LOVE all things Buffy! And I’ve always wanted some type of Buffy tattoo. This is one of the best I’ve seen!
@ Missie : Urgh I want to rewatch the series so badly!
Excellent quote!
I can’t belie I never considered getting some sort of Buffy tattoo. That show has been such a big part of my life.
@ Jennifer : I’m surprised I haven’t come across more. Although I guess I don’t normally search for them…
I LOVED the series! The episodes had such great references and analogies and wow I could go on for ever…
*believe
wow, I can’t even begin to explain difficult typing has been after not being at a computer for a couple of days. It’s shocking.
@ Jennifer : LOL I knew what you meant.
I hope you had a great weekend away! I’m looking forward to your post about it!
I love this, this is the quote I want tattooed on my side but the end of the quote “If we could live without passion, maybe we’d know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion, we’d truly be dead”
@ Chelsea : I love this quote too! Be sure to let me know if you get the tattoo so I can feature it
