10 Discworld Tattoos - Literary Tattoos Series

I'm continuing my Literary Tattoos series with tattoos inspired by one of my favourite authors, Terry Pratchett. I'm focusing on his Discworld series which provides plenty of potential for interesting and sometimes downright bizarre tattoos.

1 There's so much detail in this tattoo of Great A'tuin and his elephants carrying the Discworld through space

Researching these tattoos has made me remember how much I love Terry Pratchett; his humour, his wit and also just sometimes his common sense, where a world that is held up by giant elephants makes more sense than our one. I may have to reread the Discworld series. Or at least pick out my favourite ones.
