In anticipation of the film adaptation of this infamous children's book, I couldn't resist this gallery of 'Where the Wild Things Are' tattoos from our beloved Cowbag at Cakehead Loves Evil. As you might expect, there are plenty of inked tributes to the tale, from Max in his wolf suit to scenes of the Wild Things.
The fan response to Maurice Sendak's illustrated tale over the years has been astounding--especially when you consider that the book itself is only ten sentences long. Check out this gallery of 'Where the Wild Things Are,' and keep clicking for more monstrous features.
