Once Upon a Time There Were 15 Magical Tattoos

What was your favorite fairy tale growing up?

For centuries, parents have helped their children fall asleep through telling fairy tales before bed. And many of these fairy tales are stories that we still know and love today. Originating throughout England, Denmark, Germany and other nations, these stories have stood the tests of time and many of them have been re-imagined into feature films (or at least animated shorts). Take a look at 15 tattoos inspired by 15 of the most popular fairy tales from around the world in the gallery below, then let us know your thoughts on this story in the comments section on social media.
