*****YEOW*** Maika!!! If i'd ever been seriously tempted to get a tattoo, you'd have cured me of it!<P>But I haven't.<P>But if I was-- "Eru Iluvatar" in Tengwar. Maybe over my heart, or something.

I'd be really boring and get the '9' on my ankle...or maybe something like Frodo's greeting to the High Elves in FotR, 'Elen sķla lśmenn' omentielvo', on my lower back.<P>I do actually want a little frog tattoo on my left shoulder blade when I'm 18, but a LotR tattoo would still be quite cool

If I was to get a tattoo, I think I would get the doors of Moria on my back, because they are absolutely beautiful. Wow, I am suprised, no one thought of this. Cool.<P>[ February 11, 2003: Message edited by: Hirilaelin ]<p>[ February 11, 2003: Message edited by: Hirilaelin ]

Yeah, and maybe when you turn your back to the moon, it could read an inscription above the door like in FOTR! That would be SO COOL if someone could do that, but that can't, so never mind!

I first wanted to get a psalm in elvish tattooed on my back (just four lines), but then decided it was too long. I've now decided,when I get the courage, would be a beautiful blue and white star between my shoulder-blades and on my spine (yow!) with the tengwar letter "formen" on the inside of it, which means North. So I never get lost, don't ya know. <P>-'Vana

Let's see, the Eye of Sauron, the star of Feanor, or the dasty moon-skull Morgul Orc motif would all be cool (even though we haven't seen the way that last design will look). No, I think I'll get a tattoo of John Howe's Smaug from "The Death of Smaug." It'll take up my whole back. That's the key.

look at my lil picture thing and picture it tattooed on my back...or perhaps I'll be really boring and get the ring inscription tattooed around my belly button (the reason i said I'll get it done is that the day I leave college I plan to get a tattoo done, I got my nose pierced when I left school)

I'd get the whole Gondor Crest on my shoulderblade, if I got one at all. I don't like tattooes, though, so I'll probably just buy myself a piece of jewelry... or a horn replica...

I think that if I were to get a tattoo, I'd get one spiraling up my ankle of a dragon breathing flames. Or one on the back of my hand of the design on the front of Theoden's halls. I'd definately sketch them out myself though. Or I might get a tat of this drawing I did of a dragon coming out of a volcano. It's kind of a mix between Smaug exiting the Lonely Mountain and Mt. Doom.

Not sure what I would get if I did get a LotR-related tat. Something hobbitish I suppose. I have a black and blue triskle on my shoulder, and to me it felt like nothing so much as being scratched really hard with something not terribly sharp. But then I do have a fairly high pain threshold and it seems to be a different experience for everybody.

I'm terrified of needles, but in a drunken state I told my sis, that If I had a tattoo, it would be the One Ring with the Elvish writing on it. I have no idea where it would be done, but that's as far as I got about the whole tattoo thing. She say's it doesn't hurt, but I don't really want to test the theory.

The whole 'One Ring' poem would be sweet, but I don't know were it would fit (visibly).<BR>I'd probably settle for the One Ring in a flame with the elvish writeing on it. But sting on my left bicep would be cool to, or maybe Gimli's double headed axe on my right bicep. I had another really good idea, but I forgot it.

If I were to get a tatoo, which I highly doubt, I would get the white tree of Gondor on my ankle or two swords crossed on a sheild on my shoulder. But then again since its permanent I would change my mind many times before I get it.

I've really been considering getting a tattoo of some kind of vine design around my upper arm, something very elvish looking. It's very posssible that I may get this done, so if I do, I'll make sure to take a pic and post it here.

The elvish G or Sauron's eye would be VERY good, but then it would also be great to have the inscription of the ring round about my left arm now that would be great. Such words of power across my arm, I would smash anything with it <BR>Well, wait, the curses of power were inscripted on Grond. hmmm...

I might get the Tengwar symbol for 'k' someplace... the word associated with 'k' is 'quesse' which is Quenya for Feather, which is my nickname anyway. And I've already got a tattoo of a feather on my left shoulder, so I'd match <P>Huzzah!
