I'm a literature addict as well, but I, too, can't decide on a particular line to be tattooed. Maybe I'll copycat you if that's alright. thanks! hey Elizabeth, I’m 18 and planning to get a tattoo.

I'd like to get something along those lines - I'm studying English at university next year and wanted to get my favourite quotes tattooed, but I just can't decide!

We placed it wrapped around the ribs because it was really the only place it would fit nicely that size and ultimately looked the best. :) It wasn't super painful (just took a long time), and after two and a half years, I've found the pain to be unmemorable. @amy: I chose the placement on recommendation of the tattoo artist who advised me that going too small would cause the letters to eventually bleed together.

Why did you choose this placement? And how painful was it? I hear rib tats are the worst. (But worth it, especially if it turns out like this!) <3
