That’s the sound of worlds colliding, friends. It occurs anytime two polar opposites meet, and lately there’s been some meetin’ going on. In the past few months, it seems like tattoos and children’s lit, two formerly disparate things, have been intermingling like crazy.
All of a sudden, you look around and they’re everywhere: on arms of attendees at the Newbery/Caldecott Banquet (courtesy of A Fuse #8 Production), on websites, and in picture books.

The children’s lit blog Shelftalker unearthed the gem above.
Visit the blog Contrariwise to get your fill of kid’s lit tats.

One more thing:
Matilda tat. Good choice.
