ALA Annual is right around the corner. Have you thought about your tattoo yet?
Join our Project Brand Yourself A Librarian Flickr group and add your photos if you’ve already got your library tattoo. Don’t have it yet? Maybe you’ll find some ideas here…
Speaking of ideas, let’s open up this post and discuss ideas for tattoos. What are you thinking of getting and why? Inspiration and sharing!
(and remember, the tag for this project is #librarytat8bit on Twitter and librarytat8bit everywhere else)

3. DAYS TO GET TATTOOS DURING ALA ANNUAL
- What day works best for you? Well, that’s your day! Any days between June 24-29 will be good!
- Members of the 8BitLibrary team will be getting their tattoo on Saturday June 26th, 4pm at Jinx Proof Tattoo
- After our tattooing on Saturday June 26th, there will be a 8BitLibrary Party! PLACE and TIME: TBA!
4. DOES MY TATTOO HAVE TO BE LIBRARY RELATED?
- We’ve been getting this question a lot. While we are SUGGESTING that you get a library themed tattoo, you can choose to get any type of tattoo you’d like. A tattoo is a personal thing and we here at 8 Bit Library don’t want to tell you what to get on your body. Make yourself happy and get the tattoo you want!
If you have any other questions, please let me know. (Justin of 8 Bit Library)
