This is a change from the usual tribals, dragons and chinese characters. Literary tattoos shows us tattooed quotes, images and poems. I especially like Max

There is no "underground" community, no dark den of drunken sailors
initiating themselves into manhood via cheap, ill-conceived exercises
in bodily perforation; it’s just a group of people who delight in using
their bodies as billboards.
