The longest tattoo chain is a feat fit for the Guinness World Records. It is a challenge being taken up by Litographs, a company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Known for their stylish collection of tees and totes designed with graphics created using the entire text from famous books, Litographs is now heading into a different direction for an even more playful take on literature.

Aiming to ink 2,500 bodies with the story of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the longest tattoo chain is a collaborative effort with Hollywood FX studio, which gave the designs an authentic look. Currently a highly successful Kickstarter campaign, it has so far surpassed its $7,500 goal with nearly $30,000 from close to 5000 backers. The longest tattoo chain will now include 'Through The Looking Glass.'
