New Weekley - TATTOO TUESDAYS!!

Happy Tuesday Marauders! Hey there literary lovers!! Padfoot and Prongs here with a new way to help add to one of our resolutions...post more. With that attitude in mine we have decided to hop on the bandwagon of one of our favorite bloggers and bring to your viewing pleasure a new weekly! That's right from now on make sure to stop by every tuesday to see our new feature Tattoo Tuesdays hosted by our good friend Tara from 25hourbooks.
Tattoo Tuesday is pretty straightforward. Every Tuesday we will be combining our lover of literature as well as (tasteful) tattoo's that reference various literary works. What could be better?! For our very FIRST episode of this meme we will be featuring not only one of our favorite literary tattoos, but one of our favorite literary bloggers. You probably could have guessed it but what better way to kick off this feature than to highlight the founder!!

""Are you saying that I can fly?"
"I am saying that you can be free."
Tara's first literary tattoo comes from one our all time favorite works: Jonathan Livingston Seagull. For those of you who haven't read this feel free to check out our review and learn about this amazing work of fiction for yourself. It is an empowering story about having the strength to stand for your own beliefs as well as be comfortable in your own skin (or feathers?)

"Jonathon Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach has been one of my favorite books since I was young. It teaches us the importance of following your dreams and how hard you may have to work to reach them. That failure is only a chance to learn. And maybe most importantly, that no matter how outcast or alone you may feel... there are others out there like you and you just have to find them."

Her next tattoo:

"One of my tattoos is the word "river" in Japanese. I read Siddhartha and LOVED it. The quote "The river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth...in the ocean and in the mountains, everywhere, and that the present only exists for it, not the shadow of the past, nor the shadow of the future..." really stuck with me. Originally I was going to get the word "river" but when I saw this symbol for it I had to have it. I love the concept of no "Past Tara" or "Future Tara". It's just me in the now."

And finally for you grammar lovers out there Tara sports a selction of punctuation tattoos that is sure to make any book nerds heart do a little pitter patter. Tara had to say:

"Getting my semicolon tattoo the day before National Punctuation Day was a complete coincidence, but it makes for a good title :) I got it on the bottom inside of my left pointer finger in dark brown. I LOVE it! I consider (them) a symbol of my love for reading and writing and I just love how it looks :) " -- So do we!

Alright folks!! Hope you enjoyed this first installment of Tattoo Tuesdays! Make sure to check back next and every Tuesday from here on out for some more literary loving via tattoos! If you have one you would like to submit drop us an e-mail at pnpprinting1@gmail.com!
