Lithrographs has previously created t-shirts, posters and tote bags featuring phrases from famous books. In order to attract funders for their temporary tatoo project, the company has broken up the entire text of Lewis Carroll’s _Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland_, into 2,500 unique phrases. Each phrase will be printed once as a temporary tattoo and sent to those who pledged. Once the project officially ends, the company will post a gallery of photos that, when put together, shows the entire book on people’s bodies. The campaign has 5,504 backers so far,and exceeded its $7,500 goal by $27,431\. With that amount of funding, Lithograph says it will create tattoos for classics like _The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes_, _Ulysses_ and _Les Miserables_. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3031308/kickstarter-campaign-created-worlds-longest-tattoo-chain/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3031308/kickstarter-campaign-created-worlds-longest-tattoo-chain/"},"headline":"Curiouser and Curiouser: This KickStarter Campaign Created the World's Longest Tattoo Chain","datePublished":"2014-07-25T00:37:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:11:55.644Z","description":"They printed the entire text of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland on 2,500 bodies","url":"https://time.com/3031308/kickstarter-campaign-created-worlds-longest-tattoo-chain/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Internet","tattoos","Literature"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3031308/kickstarter-campaign-created-worlds-longest-tattoo-chain/","name":"Curiouser and Curiouser: This KickStarter Campaign Created the World's Longest Tattoo Chain"}}]}] ```
