Thinking about getting a Moby Dick related tattoo seeing as its one of my favorite books. Good idea or am I retarded?

are /lit/ related tattoos acceptable in your opinion?

>> No.3232175

Get

'The hull, it's bursting with sperm!' - Ishmael.

Sounds great. Maybe the pic you posted: on the tip of your peen. Maybe not. On your back, then, in portrait mode.

>> No.3232186

Moby-Dick is a pretty popular subject for tattoos. The only risk you run is being branded a casual for life for having such a common tattoo.

If you want a tattoo, get a tattoo; you certainly don't need /lit/'s opinion or permission.

Or if you really feel that you do, well ... I, anon, authorise you to get a Moby-Dick tattoo - the bigger the better.

>Moby Dick tattoos are popular
Are you sure? I've never seen a Moby Dick tattoo and I grew up/live around New Bedford. If they're not very popular here in the former "Whaling Capital of the World", I wouldn't think to see them elsewhere.

>> No.3232730

>>3232713

Why would people living in a place that used to be a whaling capital have Moby Dick tattoos? Do you even Google?

>> No.3232733

>>3232713
I don't know what it's like in former whaling towns, but I see them a lot in my uni English department.
