Dr. Seuss was the master of Anapestic tetrameter. His poetic and comical verse inspired children to read, and was probably the most unique way to promote literacy and the use of non-sensical rhyme at the same time. Therefore, it just seems fitting that, to celebrate the world renown author, fans of Dr. Seuss have tattooed tributes onto their skin.
In this gallery are a few examples of Dr. Seuss skin art, and although they aren't large at all, a tattoo's a tattoo, no matter how small. And that's where I'll stop, because the writer who breeds more words than he needs, is making a chore for the reader who reads.
