So I am pretty convinced I want a Moby Dick themed tattoo. I have been thinking about it for ~2 years and still want one. I will probably get it on my upper arm; sort of like a half-sleeve tattoo.

What picture should I get inked on myself?

It is still my absolute favorite book ever written in English, and want it to be on me in one way or another

rather, to be more clear, post MOby Dick pictures that you think would be good as a tattoo.

>> No.3061285

A sperm whale. What else could it be?

You're going to spend a while explaining why you have a casket on your arm.

And were you my friend and you got a harpoon I'd make dick jokes about it until the day you died.

So, a white whale.

Or maybe you should just get a big penis tattooed across your chest, and do away with all symbolism.

Your call.

I hate to be the one to say it, but quite a few of us are probably thinking it.

Why not get a sperm whale tattooed on your dick? Think of the possibilities.

Yeah, there could be a one-legged man stabbing at it from hell's black heart, for example.

obviously, this is the picture you need permanently etched into your skin.

Have you ever thought about maybe a picture of Capn Ahab floating down at the bottom of the sea, ballroom dancing with the whale while a giant squid is in the background saying ">tfw 20,000 leagues under the sea. >tfw no gf."

THose both look tight, I google imaged Moby Dick tatoos and saw a few that looked sort of neat as well. BUt does anyone have the book cover that is almost all white with an eye opening with the boat in the forefront?

Thank you

not that one. It was posted in a thread the other day along with a dozen other Moby Dick book covers, the OP said MOby Dick was the greatest piece of art ever, and proceeded to post a million different book covers of it.
