ginalynm

"The entire How to Train Your Dragon series is what got me through the worst of my depression. This dragon and his journey were the source of my emotions when I felt nothing. When days are especially bad I remind myself to train my dragons: Be fierce in the face of futility and be loyal to my loved ones. This Night Fury reminds me that I am enough." –ginalynm

11. Forrest Gump

"'Jenny and me was like peas and carrots.'" –courtneyr4375e2e49

12. Lilo and Stitch

tsotroublesome

"It's pretty generic, but it's incredibly important to me. In my early teens, I struggled to find my place. I attended a summer camp where I met people who were just like me - passionately nerdy and accepting. I had never felt so at home among my peers before then, and when they played Lilo and Stitch one rainy afternoon, the concept of 'ohana' cemented my friendship with everyone I met there. It's been five years since that camp, and I still keep in touch with everyone, and they are family that I will never leave behind or forget." –tsotroublesome

13. Beauty And The Beast

callies48cb4936d

"A 'Chip on my shoulder' inspired by Beauty And The Beast." –callies48cb4936d

14. Tuck Everlasting

katem4b9c9eb3d

"Tuck Everlasting. A young girl, Winnie, must decide whether or not to drink from a spring that grants eternal life." –Katherine Marshall Eastman

15. Inception

siljeekevalls

"My very first tattoo was the spinning top from Inception. That movie blew me away. To me, it says - who cares if dreams and fantasy aren't, strictly speaking, real? If you experience it, it's a part of YOUR reality. It really resonated with me as a fantasy artist and game designer." –siljeekevalls

16. Blade Runner

a47ce3b236

"My husband and I have inverse Blade Runner tributes." –a47ce3b236

17. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

shanelw2

"My tattoo was inspired by Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The last challenge that Indy faces to get to the Holy Grail is a leap of faith called 'Path of God'. 'Only in a leap from the lion's head will prove his worth.' It combines my love of the Indiana Jones movies and my faith. The artist also incorporated symbols from the trilogy into the design as well (ears are the staff piece of Ra, the grail and the cruciform cross on the nose)." –shanelw2

18. Star Wars

siestaz

"This one is my Star Wars-inspired tattoo, because I'm a huge fan and R2D2 is my favourite character." –siestaz

19. A Nightmare on Elm Street

karajeanne

"I love horror movies and my favourite is a A Nightmare on Elm Street, so I got a pin-up inspired by Freddy." –karajeanne

22. Deadpool

25. The Count of Monte Cristo

shealynb

"The Count of Monte Cristo was always my favourite movie growing up. The chess piece is symbolic of the victories the two main characters face, and every time one of them experiences a triumph in their life they say 'King's to you' and hand over the chess piece. I got it to remind me to always seek my adventures, follow what I love, and appreciate even the smallest victories." –shealynb

26. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

30. Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of the Rings

kristens40b749e5f

"Mine is a combination of Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of the Rings that I drew myself. Each series was incredibly important to me, as a child, teen, and adult. The quote is from Narnia that I translated into elvish, 'Courage, Dear Heart.'" –kristens40b749e5f

americal4043a631a
