Hi Friends! Just a note, this video is mostly about the meaning behind my tattoos/why i got them/why they're special to me. If you have general tattoo questions (where i got them, pricing, pain, etc.) I've left a lil Q&A in the description for you! You can also comment any other questions you have. Thanks so much for watching! I seriously love you guys so much

I have never heard a sentence so perfectly encompass, sisterhood ” My sister wanted to get a tattoo there and I thought it was cute so I got it first”

Back in 2012 I got a Mockingjay pin tattooed near my shoulder blade. I finished the Hunger Games series while basically living in the hospital saying goodbye to my best friend's mom who was terminally ill. Over the two weeks sleeping in the hospital floor I thought of a way to honor what she meant to me. That's when I decided on the mockingjay. The symbol of a girl who sacrificed almost everything for the good of her people. My best friend's mom was the most selfless person I ever met and I thought it fit her perfectly. Now I carry her with me always.

Hi! I'm Italian and I study latin in my high school, so I can tell you the exact translation of "Flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo.". In Italian the transaltion is "Se non potrò commuovere gli dèi celesti, muoverò Acheronte." and it's from Virgilio and In English is "If I can't move the Gods, I'll move Acheron" (Move intended as "make them cry"). As you probably know, Acheron was the man who took the souls who had to go to hell from one side of the river in the lower world to, in fact, hell. Sorry for my english, I hope I helped!

Merel Skip I don't think so! The Mortal Instruments was one of the first ya fantasy series I read. But I would recommend reading the shadowhunters chronicles in publication order because the prequel series and second half of the mortal instruments series crossover with a few plot lines! You can read them chronologically but I think it's more fun to read as they've been published! 😊 (there's a few different reading order lists online, and Cassie has even suggested one herself that you can find on google!)

Musical Reads It's NOT an origional piece if art. That image was not created for a specific person. Tattoos of symbols coming from things like books and TV cannot be copied because it's a shared item and is meant to be shared as that's why the author published it. You absolutely CAN steal a tattoo if it is an origional piece of art created collaboratively between an artist and client. But, her rune and other things like quotes cannot be stolen because of what they are.

I think you're more addict to Cassandra Clara books more than I, that's new.

Omg you talking about the iratze tattoo and the meaning behind it was so emotionally powerful 😍😍 You are seriously a big inspiration to me and I can't even put into words how much I adore you 😘 I enjoyed this video so much! 🙌

I've got two tattoos so far, though none book related, but I will definitely be getting a HP related one (possibly a quote), but probably also a LOTR quote (Not All Those Who Wander are Lost), which is also because I travel a lot, so that quote speaks to me on more than one level. But one tattoo I got on my back is from a drawing by one of the most inspiring and talented young women I know, Carrie Hope Fletcher. She's incredible and it was over 10 years ago that I saw this drawing and knew immediately that I wanted it as a tattoo. I even got her permission and sent her a photo on twitter after getting it (years later) and she thought it was really cool :)

I also got my first tattoo to represent a healing of my mental health issues as I was diagnosed with GAD and major depression years ago. While I'm grateful I don't deal with depression anymore, I struggle with the anxiety demon everyday, even in my dreams. My tattoo says, "Sometimes the weak become the strong". When I see it, it's a reminder of how hard and real mental issues are but I will always be strong enough to make it through. Today is my first day back to college in a few years so I can complete my psychology degree in hopes of one day being a mental health counselor. I just wanted you to know that you're not alone.

It's so cool that you have a tattoo in Cassandra Clare's handwriting! The Mortal Instruments has been on my to-read list forever, but since discovering booktube, and especially your channel and hearing your enthusiasm and love for the series, it's gotten way bumped up on my TBR. I plan on starting them once I finish binging the Percy Jackson series and the Series of Unfortunate Events. I'm really looking forward to venturing into the world I know you and many other booktubers I admire enjoy so much!

This video genuinely made me tear up! I dont believe tattoos ever have to "mean something" but its so so touching to see how much yours mean to you and its something that will continue to mean something through the rest of your life 😊 i have an arrow on my ribs for the hunger games (the first books that i ever read) and debating my next harry potter one!

If i wrote a book my main character would be heavily based on you🥺👑✨

I've booked to get my second tattoo next month before I move to university and the quote I'm getting tattooed is "Life is a book and there are a thousand pages I have not yet read" which is from Clockwork Princess and The Infernal Devices is a very important series to me and I feel like I'm home between the words and pages of these books. Also the quote is said by Will who is my favourite book character of all time, he's taught me power and strength and is a character who I've always found a comfort it so I'm very excited to get it done. But, I do already have one tattoo but it's not a book tattoo😂 it's a quote that says I fight through to see tomorrow which is a quote from a song called Gravity by With Confidence who are my favourite band of all time and it is written by their drummer Josh who is my favourite member and I got it because I've suffered from depression since I was 14 and it still takes a lot to fight through to the next day and at the start of this year I used to have to listen to this song every night so I actually went to sleep and didn't end everything instead so this song is a very important song to me and it and the band have been a huge anchor for me during my recovery and when a relapse happens they're the band I go to and every time I see them and meet them I really feel like I'm at home and safe safe and happy so it's very important to me and it's a place that was my preferred area when I used to self harm so when I get those urges again it's nice to look down and remind myself I need to keep fighting.

The mortal instruments also got me into reading again at a very crucial time. I was finally on my journey to positive mental health. I was diagnosed BPD with severe depression and anxiety. These books brought so much joy to me that i would wake up just for them. I'm not as obsessed now, I was 22/23 and am now 28 turning 29 in aug. But ive been re-reading them slowly and have such fond memories of my strength to overcome! Much love Emma keep rockin you! 😊

I’m currently reading the shadowhunters saga and as you probably know the last names in the series are really important, and the last name of Sebastian in this case is a really BIG spoiler so in the future, please if you’re going to say something related with books, think if it could be an spoiler and warn to your audience that the video contain spoilers.

I would so love to get all those same tattoos. Especially. "Words have the power to change us". I used to be obsessed wid it when I first read it . I wrote it EVERYWHERE. Still am obsessed.

I can’t wait to get my shadowhunter tattoos. These books and then what they have done with tv shows really just took me out of my world and helped. I’m in love with the books. I want the iratze, and the strength rune. Maybe the angelic rune

your name cant be emma because my name is emma. there can only be one

Emma Schuren Me with my name

I LOOOOOOOOVE EVERY SHADOWHUNTER BOOK SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH The books helped me through hard times they still do up to this day.

I know I'm super late... but you had me in tears over the first tattoo. I haven't read that series, but your struggles with mental illness and self harm really pulled at my heartstrings. I thought I was recovered when I started college... I even considered getting a recovery tattoo myself. Four years later, I've relapsed and feel as though all of my progress went down the drain. You helped me realize that it's all a part of healing. I have a newfound strength from hearing your story. Thank you so much. ♡

thank YOU!

I'm not too interested in tattoos nor have I never seen any of your videos before but you seem like a super cool person and I definitely want to go see more of your channel now!

I have never heard of you until now. I have been watching tattoo videos a lot lately because I want so many when I turn 18. I am 17 right now. I stumbled across this video and instantly noticed your necklace. I noticed that it was from The Mortal Instruments series. I have read them a few times and I am in the middle of rereading them right now. I just started City of Fallen Angels again. It is literally sitting on my bed right next to me. Lately things have been hard in my life and reading these again have been helping me get my mind to think about the good things. I really want to get some kind of tattoo that has to do with the series. You may not see this but I just wanted to pop on here and say that watching this video made my night because I have found someone who has a love for the series like I do!

⭐️ Love how open you always are

This was such a beautiful video Emma! I loved hearing the meanings behind your tattoos, especially the iratze, never give up.
