Fairytale inspired tattoos | Loyalty points with Magnum Merits
February 26th is national fairytale day. This may not mean anything to some people, but for many people, they spent their childhood reading tales of magical lands and characters, enchanted castles and kingdoms with princesses were rescued from evil witches, so fairytales can hold a really special place in the hearts of others. There are so many fairy tales that have been wrote, and twisted over the years but the ones we love the most are the old ones that often have creepy undertones and important lessons to be learned. Take Hanzel and Grettel. This hungry pair took it upon themselves to explore an inhabited house they came across in the middle of nowhere. A complete stranger told them it’d be ok to feast upon the house (which was made entirely of candy), but unbeknownst to the children, the witch was feeding them up so they tasted better when she ate them. The moral of the story Is, don’t accept sweets from strangers!
Of course, there are some more light hearted tales which don't feature any children being cooked, and as it’s national fairytale at Magnum Tattoo Supplies where you can earn loyalty points with Magmum Merits, we wanted to look at some of the beautiful tattoo inspired versions of these stories. What a better way to honour it than to look at some incredible takes on traditional fairytales and stories. Check them out here!

We love this sketchy style Alice in Wonderland piece. There’s something really dreamy about it! Artist unknown.
