This is for all those die hard knitters and sewers out there who want to keep that needle and thread with them at all times. Tattoos incorporating some sort of sewing related prop are, as I just recently found out, surprisingly popular. So popular in fact that I could have easily extended this list to “500 Beautiful Sewing & Knitting Tattoo Designs” instead of a measly 21 if my favorite TV show wasn’t about to start in T minus 58 minutes. If there’s enough interest, let me know and I’ll see if I can’t follow this article up with something a little more lengthier in the near future. Enjoy!
