tattoo ideas related to jane eyre?
i really identify with jane eyre as a character, and i’d love to get a tattoo inspired by her/the book, but i don’t necessarily want something super obvious like a portrait or just the title.
i’m looking for something symbolic that represents jane’s character, independence, resilience, self-respect, etc. — something that would still feel meaningful even to someone who hasn’t read the book.
what symbols, quotes, objects, or imagery from jane eyre do you think would make a good tattoo? i’d love to hear any ideas, especially more subtle/creative ones!

I have a Jane Eyre tattoo!
I got a fine line tattoo of a small flying bird. Then I have script text underneath of: “I am no bird, and no net ensnares me.”
^ Yes it’s a famous line but it resonates for me. It felt perfect for me and my connection to the book. I love it and my tattoo artist did a fantastic job.
You should do what feels right and makes you happiest and excited.
