Abarat Tattoo Ideas

[Abaratian]

I promised myself years ago that if the third book ever came out, I'd get an Abarat tattoo. Well, the third book is coming out, and I want to fulfill my promise to myself XD

What would you guys do? A quote? A picture?

I really can't make up my mind. I was thinking of getting the cup and ball since it's meaningful, but it's not really whimsical and fantastic like some of the others.

So yeah... any suggestions?

Oo that's an awesome idea for a dedicated fan

This is a hard one. I think I would get a quote on my wrist, but I would have think about it.

Do you have any ideas so far?

Make it lighthearted. I wouldn't want to be in a bad mood, and then look at a weird, morbid tattoo on my arm and hate myself

Or you get one of Carrion, and everytime you have a bad day, you look at it and think, meh, could be worse.

I'm not too sure what would be best. I think it needs to mean something to you, such as a quote you agree with, or an idea. More so than just an awesome picture. But as they always say with tattoos, you should choose what you want, wait a year, and if you still want the same, then get to it. (That is the boring sensible thing to do!)

I have a idea! How about a cute Tarrie-cat!

I'm not a big tattoo person... well not for myself that is.
My mom has a dozen of them and a lot of people i know how some as well.
I personally have a hard time with the idea of committing myself to something like that.

If I were to get a tattoo... the only think that I would probably get is quotes, lines or lyrics.
Some of the things that might be worthy of such inspiration for me...

- scriptures
- Abarat
- His Dark Materials Trilogy
- Different poems I'm attached too
- A few really good movies that have meaningful quotes
- Some really great songs that have lyrics that mean something to me


Abaratian are you leaning more towards an image or words?
Or a combination?

Do you have a location (on your body) picked out for it?

Who is your favorite character from the book?
Or what is your favorite theme/ event/ chapter?
Perhaps this will help us really think of something you might like...

There are so many Abaratian things that could be an awesome tattoo, and so it's hard for me to decide which trumps another. I had to think, what would /I/ get. What's something that would always remind me of the Abarat..of that feeling of being taken away. I remember as a kid reading the first book, I always wanted to see that cloud that CB drew over the lighthouse, and I wanted to follow it.

So, now, if I were to get an Abarat tattoo, I think I would get the swirls that Candy drew on her journal. It would remind me of escape, and something wonderful on the horizon, and the power being in me to change things. Lots of good emotions to have I think hahaha So that's what I would do. Good luck deciding!

I thought about the tarrie cats but I'm in real life way more of a dog person than a cat person, so I feel it's not completely appropriate for me.

I know I don't want a character. The idea of Carrion or Vol on anywhere of my body is creepy XD

I don't have a place picked out exactly. If it's small enough, or simple enough, I'd want it on my foot. If it is something larger, on my back or thigh probably.

I'm leaning towards a quote honestly, but I like the idea of a picture better, if that makes sense. Like... right now I think a quote makes more sense, but I'd prefer a picture.

I honestly might just wait until the new book comes out to see if there's any new pictures I'm interested in.
