Jane Austen was an English novelist from the 1700’s who is probably most notably known for her works such as Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Emma.

I adore Austen’s books and think they’re truly good classics that I highly recommend you read. My particular favorite is Pride and Prejudice, which might be cliche but hey, it’s a great book.

A lot of these tattoos are from that particular book and I looked through quite a few, so that tells me other people would agree with how well the book is generally received.

Here are some of the best/most creative Jane Austen tattoos I found to showcase. Enjoy the post!

The Tattoos:

 

This is of course from Pride and Prejudice – it’s something Mr. Darcy says to Elizabeth.

“I love you. Most ardently.”

 

This is something Lady Catherine says to Elizabeth, also in Pride and Prejudice.

“Obstinate, headstrong girl! I am ashamed of you!”

 

While this is also from Pride and Prejudice, it isn’t from the original book – it’s a quote from the 2005 movie adaptation starring Kiera Knightly.

Mr. Darcy: “And, of course, she must improve her mind by extensive reading.”

Lizzie: “I’m no longer surprised at your knowing only six accomplished women. I rather wonder now at your knowing any.”

Mr. Darcy: “Are you so severe on your own sex?”

Lizzie: “I never saw such a woman. She would certainly be a fearsome thing to behold.”

 

You really can’t go wrong with just a flat out portrait type tattoo of the author herself! This design is absolutely gorgeous, in my opinion.

 

I honestly should’ve just titled this post “Pride and Prejudice” tattoos at this point. This is a quote from Miss Caroline Bingley.

 

This is literally one of the best literary tattoos I’ve seen done thus far. I absolutely adore this piece and how it was done – it’s just so lovely!♥

 

A very touching, albeit tragic, line from Jane’s book Persuasion. Here’s a piece of the excerpt:

“I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago.”

 

And to top it all off – an overall ode to several Austen pieces. A truly unique piece of artwork, if I say so myself.
