There are certain books that really get under your skin, and these book-lovers decided to literally do something about it. Some are subtle, just simple images or short phrases that only someone else who has read the book would recognize; others are hard to mistake, with their iconic characters and symbols prominently featured.

Do you have a book-inspired tattoo? Post your photos below, or vote on your favorite!

This wouldn't be inspired by the book, but by the disney movie. Really, the ORIGINAL book (by J M Barrie) is different.
