Twilight Tattoos – The Lion Fell In Love With The Lamb
Unless you have been living under a rock for the last two years, it will be hard for you to have escaped the book and film that has been the subject of conversation both positive and negative for much of that time.
Twilight, the book by Stephanie Meyer, has become absolutely enormous and has spawned a crowd of fans who go beyond the normal realms of obsession and come out the other side in their own reality.
These people are known as “Twi-hards“, and they have been known to immortalize their love for the story by getting it indelibly inked on their skin.
As Twilight has been both a book and a film, there has been no shortage of possible subjects for a tattoo.
The popularity of the book inspired the film to be made, but it was the release of the film that saw the fan-base rise both in number and obsession.
The results are tattoos with quotes from the book including “and so the lion fell in love with the lamb”, a reference to the story of the book’s central characters, a vampire and a late-teenaged girl.
There is an interesting story to all of this. Twilight and its sequel books are absolutely the kind of story which grasps an audience in its spell and keeps them spellbound for months, even years, but is scarcely present in those aged thirty-five and above.
So as the next few decades pass, it will be interesting to see the reactions of those who realize they don’t actually like Twilight that much anymore.
