Tolkien Tattoo - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I just got myself a Tolkien tattoo!

I was thinking about it for several years, and finally just got it done.

I got Tolkien's Sigil.

For those with a keen eye, you can see some LOTR action figures in the top left of the picture, hehe.

Looks nice!
You know, when I first read the title I was worried you had gotten the face of the Professor, that might have looked a bit odd.
And nice figures, good old cave troll

Hope it doesn't start to sag or stretch when you get old. That would be ironic and gross.

Didn't the entire film fellowship get one done or something? And no offence tattoos are a big no for me. I always think I'd regret having it done...

I've been a big Tolkien geek since I can remember, even as a little kid I loved it (animated movies).

I don't regret it at all. In fact, I'm already thinking about another one, but not sure what else to get.

I thought about getting the Gondor symbol of the White tree and 7 stars, if I can find a good version of it somewhere. At least I think it was 7 stars, it's been awhile since I looked at it.

But that will be awhile before I get it, as they aren't exactly cheap.
