Submit

Send your pictures to [email protected].

Please submit ONE TATTOO PER EMAIL, unless you have multiple tattoos from the same book or author, or the tattoos are otherwise related in some way.

Be sure to include:

  • your name or pseudonym (whatever you want to appear on the site)
  • the URL of your blog or website, if you want me to link to it
  • where your tattoo is from (an author, a book, a quote, etc) - the more info the better!
  • any backstory or information you want me to include on the site
  • what font is it?  (seriously, everyone always wants to know so you may as well include it!)

If you are sending me a picture you don't own, be sure to include the original source.  If you're sending me a picture you do own, you're granting me the right to post it on the site.

FAQ

If you don't post my submission right away, should I keep sending it over and over until you do?

Please don't.  Sometimes it takes a long time to post, but there's no reason I shouldn't have it in my inbox.

Why haven't you posted my tattoo?  Do you hate it?  Do you hate me?

I have a backlog of literally thousands of submissions.  Don't take it personally if it takes a long time to post yours.  I'm sorry!
