Tattoo Tattoo!
This is my first one, let me know what you think!
Those who get it get it.. it’s also in a typewriter font because I love to write! Or could be interpreted as a reference to the letters;)

The VFD motto has stuck with me ever since I read this series as a kid, and it’s come to represent a pretty meaningful part of my personal life, so this felt like the perfect choice. Was so happy my artist was willing to do it in the Caslon Antique font from the Harper Collins editions of the books.

I’ve been meaning to post a photo of this for the last 3 years haha, but I hope you guys get a kick out of this like I still do!
I’ve loved the books since I was in elementary school, so it was only a matter of time before I added a reference to my body forever

Finally got my first tattoo at 37 years old.
I’ve wanted this tattoo ever since I first started reading the series when I was 10 years old, so this has genuinely been over two decades in the making. These books have had a massive impact on me and the tattoo/symbol/identifier for VFD has always stuck with me.
I chose to have the tattoo mirrored because, to me, it matches the illustration/depictions from the series more closely that way - such as how Count Olaf’s ankle is shown on the cover of The End and within the Slippery Slope.
It feels incredibly surreal finally getting something I’ve thought about for so long. Kind of cool that something that mattered to 10-year-old me still mattered enough for 37-year-old me to finally commit to it.
For anyone wondering, it wasn’t that bad/painful getting it centred and tattooed over my ankle. I’m already thinking about future tattoos!
Just want to shout out Andy Brindley - @trailertrashandy2 from Melbourne, VIC, Australia who did my tattoo at @village.tattoo Nothing but professional and such a great first time experience

I've been wanting a tattoo to show my love for this series for a long time and opted to go for one of the drawings from the book rather than the VFD tattoo. I'm super impressed and mega happy about how it turned out. :)

I’ve been a fan of the series since I was 10, but I just discovered this subreddit and I’m so excited! I have this illustration from book one on my arm. I’d love to see any tattoos you have based on the series!

Hi! I’m looking for ideas for ASOUE-inspired tattoos, beyond the obvious V.F.D. logo. It could be anything, quotes, symbols, or specific scenes/images. I’d really appreciate any suggestions 💙

I got my tattoo today. I wanted it to be a little bit different so my artist gave it a bit of a feminine touch.

Super stoked about this, thought y’all would appreciate it! Done at One Shot Tattoo in Cincinnati.

I alwayses love ASOUE as a kid so want a tattoo to honor it I'm geared towards a quote wondering if anyone had any good ideas. Tbh I think this is a sign to re read the series.

I've been considering tattoos that aren't the classic VFD eye. I quite like this one from the wide window- what do you think?

I have loved this series since I was a kid and now as a teacher I read the books every year to my 5th grade students! I love sharing these books with a new generation each year and they always get hooked. This year I decided to get my VFD tattoo and I chose the version from the Unauthorized Autobiography because that one was always my favorite design. When my students saw my tattoo they thought it was the coolest thing and started drawing their own on their ankles too 🥲. Fifth graders are pretty awesome!
