Edgar Allan Poe was truly an incredible writer

My tattoo, my own design. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe. Represents the artistic, poetic and dark side of me. It reminds me to stay true to myself and embrace what makes me different. It also represents the acceptance I have come to have of the inevitability of death and the importance to live and love to my fullest.

My favorite thing about Poe was that he was anti-transcendentalism, because FUCK YOU THOREAU

Much respect for designing your own tattoo.

I don't believe he said "the best things in life make you sweaty"

There's a show on netflix called "The Following". It's about a cult who gets formed from Edgar Allen Poes books. This reminds me of that.

I wish that series wasn't canceled. :(

Science! true daughter of Old Time thou art! Who alterest all things with thy peering eyes. Why preyest thou thus upon the poet's heart,

First quote was moving...right?

Fun fact: Poe's death is still unsolved

I like how half of these are used by edgy teenagers on social media to explain their existential angst. Oh times they are a changing

The more morose the poet, the more I like them. I tend to read poetry when I'm out of sorts, so I've always gravitated towards Poe.

It's a shame his work has an association with the more 'edgy' cliques. It's really very good in any context.

That tattoo is incredible.

I walk by his monument in Baltimore everyday on my way to class. He makes my heart feel better.

It's funny...#2 (and #9) basically say "liking something just because it's dark is for the young and foolish." And yet here we are.

We are young and foolish?

Big generation gap at work when discussing something hidden in plain sight, I said "Like Poe". He replied, "you mean Kung Fu Panda?"

Nice. I read heaps of his stuff when I was a kid.
TheBannedCommentard
Oh.. Nice tattoo too.

Thanks! He was my favorite author growing up!

And for good reason. The man was nothing short of genius and, in my opinion, the greatest poet of all time.
bentwrenches
Nice tattoo and a nice tummy.
ProfessorJoeCarroll
I too have a raven tattooed on me as a tribute to Poe, as he is the greatest influence in my own poetry and writing style in general.
darkladyvanstar
Do you have any online...? Because I would be surprised if I was the only one who would love to read a little.
ProfessorJoeCarroll
Actually I'm being published for the first time in an online magazine. My poem should be up next week sometime. I'll gladly send the link
darkladyvanstar
Wow, congratulations!
ProfessorJoeCarroll
Thank you, it's truly appreciated, as is your desire to read my poems
