>>890474 Brool story.

Ausfag here though, so people aren't all that familiar with it.

unstuck in time

>>implying hipsters read

O U

Saw a dude at a music festival last year with "Who is John Galt?" tatooed on his shoulder/upper arm. Almost puked a little.

>>890474
tattoos aren't for hipsters, if anything labeling people based off of their decorations is for hipsters

get Hi Ho on the other wrist

>>890498
It's THIS tattoo that's hipster, not tattoos in general

>>890498
Sorry, what's Hi Ho from?

>>890498
>Kanye shades aren't for hipsters, if anything labeling people based off of their shades is for hipsters

>>890505
it's from Slapstick: Or Lonely No More ! by vonnegut, lesser known piece but his best in my opinion

>>890514
Well I feel pretty shitty now for not knowing that :|

I've only read Slaughterhouse Five, Cat's Cradle and Breakfast of Champions.

>>890519
Meh, I only know about it because I found it in a garage sale for 50 cents

>>890522
Also how I found another FUCKING AMAZING scifi classic (apparently) called Dark Universe

>>890468
"I am a faggot"

Slaughterhouse Five was cool, if you like the tat then coolios for you OP. Anyone read Galapagos? I thought it was awful but others thought it was great, /lit/s opinion?

>>890541
I suppose that would be the chapter in your autobiography where you come out to your parents ? (I am a HUGE fan by the way of that book)

Way to brand yourself a fan of mediocre literature OP.

>>890481
If you're happy with it that's cool OP. I like it. I'm an ausfag too, I find it hard enough to find people who read, let alone SH5.

Newcastle fag actually.

>>890468
Could yo be any more up your own ass?
Lit tatts?
You gotta be kiddng me.

>>890552
Melbfag here.

>>890553
Why the fuck are you on /lit/ if you don't like it? GTFO cuntfag

>>890547
pic related, it's my favorit book

should get a Morrissey line or something

My friend just got this done on his wrist.

I don't quite know how to react. While I do like The Wheel of Time, and it's a cool picture, I don't think he realises it's going to be there forever (or removed if he's willing to pay a shitload of money).

In a world where people get Batman/Superman/Lord of the Rings/Star Wars tattoos, a bit of /lit/ is a refreshing break.

Tattoos are for attention whores. Grow up.

>>890594
What about tattoos that are in generally covered parts of your body?

>>890600
Now you're just being a hipster. I want Cthulhu on my wrist, though.

>>890602
How does that make you a hipster?

>>890604
Sarcasm. I'm joking that hipsters would get a tattoo where no one could see it because it'd be someone no one else would do.

>>890609
*something no one else would do

>>890602
>>I want cthulhu on my wrist

>>GUYS LOOK AT HOW EDGY I AM I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT CTHULHU IS REALLY ABOUT BUT IMMA WRITE IT ON ME

>>890613
>Implying I haven't read Necronomicon six times

>>890613
Why would someone posting on fucking /lit/ who wanted a tattoo of Cthulhu not know what Cthulhu was? Fucking tard.

I got KBO on my wrist. Churchhill was the greatest.

I'm getting this on the right side of my torso
>To see a world in a grain of sand,
>And a heaven in a wild flower,
>Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
>And eternity in an hour

It was the first poem that really got through to me, the first poem I memorized, and the poem that started my interest in poetry. And it's just beautiful and has stuck with me for years. Love it.

Would getting song lyrics, latin phrases, famous quotations or poems tattooed be considered as "hipster"?

>>890642
Depends on what you call 'great songs'

Latin's fair gay for tattoos imo

Quotations can work but can often sound shit

>>890642
How about you stop giving a fuck and do what you want?

I do what I want anyway... Because I'm such a rebel/maverick, and totally don't give a shit about authority figures! Yeah.... Fuck you.

>>890616
Because half the people on /lit/ just don't get books. They read the surface meanings, and don't understand what lies beneath the surface.

>>890594
humans are attention whores, everyone of us, that's why we don't all wear jumpsuits
