- Minji from The Mesmerized – Minji is actually a tattoo artist, so naturally her arms are covered in them. She’s also a kick ass female with two kids.
- Pretty much every Death Eater from Harry Potter – If they are a Death Eater they have a tattoo…it’s sort of badass looking too.
- Elijah from My Clarity – He’s a tattooed, smoking, motercycle riding college student
- Four from the Divergent series – By now everyone knows about his huge back piece. Of course most of Dauntless has tattoos as well.
- Cicely from the Indigo Court series – Cicely’s tattoos are actually magical…which I wasn’t overly fond of when I read the books, but I can admit they look damn good on the covers.
- Mercy from the Mercy Thompson series – She remains to be one of my favorite tattooed characters, and these covers are among my favorites as well. I want to look that awesome.
- Holder from Hopeless – Holder has Hopeless tattooed on his arm. He’s definitely not my favorite guy to begin with but over time I grew to really like him
- Lisbeth from the Millenium series – She’s a tattooed badass who isn’t great at being social and definitely isn’t afraid to bend morals every now and then
- Shadowhunters from Mortal Instruments – The Shadowhunters have tattoos that give them certain ability and attributes.

This is a great list, because the more I thought about it the more I realised I’ve read barely any books where the characters have tattoos. Evidently I need to go and seek some out!
Exactly! I thought it was a cool idea…and then had a super difficult time finding books I’ve read with tattooed characters.
I was surprised that you didn’t include the shadowhunters in the Mortal Instruments series. They all do magic WITH their tattoos, which gradually fade a bit as the magic wears off. It is incredibly badass, though there were a lot of things about those books that I didn’t care for.
I honestly totally forgot about them. I wasn’t really in to the books when I read the first two so I tend to forget they exist.
Mesmerized sounds awesome just added it to my TBR pile! Check out my Top Ten Tuesday
True story: I had a coworker that wore a temporary dark mark tattoo from HP to see if she’d like to make it permanent. It was cool, but only if you knew the reference lol!

That’s pretty cool! I’ve thought about getting one, but decided against it.
I wouldn’t have thought of this creative topic. I didn’t even realize there were so many ya books in which characters have tattoos or are inked. This was clever, nice!
Hell yeah, gotta love a character with ink. Technically … aren’t all book characters inked? They are words made of ink… okay, I’ll stop. lol
LOL!
Great list! I love characters with tattoos, as they’re usually badass!
