Although tattooed literary characters are not new in literature, they are still in children’s literature. Inked characters were nearly absent from children’s books and with the dawn of the twenty first century many of them portrayed tattooed characters. The problem of the study lies in the lack of studies concerning these types of characters in children’s books. The researchers aim to study inked characters in selected stories for children to show the different literary uses of tattoos in these stories, serving not only characterization but theme and symbolism as well. Two children's stories are selected for this study: Tell Me A Tattoo Story (2016) by Alison McGhee and My Teacher Has Tattoos (2023) by Darren Lopez. The researchers studied the role of the main characters’ tattoos in different literary elements. In Tell Me a Tattoo Story, the tattoos portray the father’s personality, beliefs, and aspirations while in My Teacher Has a Tattoo, Lopez retells his own story as a tattooed teacher and how inked people are stereotyped either as criminals or gangsters. In conclusion, characters’ physical appearance namely his/ her tattoos, play an integral role not only in developing the literary character but also serving as means for portraying many literary elements like theme, allusions, symbolism to name few.
