16 Sylvia Plath Tattoos Bookworms Will Love

Sylvia Plath had a way with words that few other writers do. Her poetry speaks volumes, and The Bell Jar — her only novel — is a semi-autobiographical story that depicts mental illness in a heartbreakingly honest way. Her works are must reads, and fans of the author have shown their love for Plath in the most lasting way — through beautiful tattoos that reference her writings. With the exciting news that Kirsten Dunst will be directing Dakota Fanning (who will play lead Esther Greenwood) in a film adaptation of The Bell Jar, we rounded up some of the best Plath-inspired literary ink out there.
