New 40k Tattoo
« on: June 2, 2009, 06:12:56 PM »
The Imperium has another blind follower amongst their rank.



What do you think? And does anyone else have a 40k tattoo?

I'm getting one like it, though it's integrated into part of a larger tattoo that is less 40k themed, nicely done though.

My mate Ian is planning to get a shoulder piece of Lysander's Hammer chained to a Storm Shield.

EDIT: My brother's getting me this for my 18th

I was thinking about geting ork bosspole skulls resembling gork & mork (warboss & big mek) heads on either forearm.

They wouldnt be too terribley hard to design or expensive. Just gotta get that cash.
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only me trying to save money on these #@%!!!ing models.

I've also go the cover of Realm of Chaos on my back, but it's a little hard to take a picture of my back ...

Thought about this, but one of my armies doesn't fit in so well.  Eldar and Orks have numerous glyphs and markings that I could get, but for the Tyranids I'd have to get something like that 'Nid Warrior's head, which I don't think would fit.

Get an Adrenal Gland on your neck. That'd be awesome.

Does the number mean anything?
29th April 1983 (think that's right.)
Birthday? Anniversary?
Random choice! Haha.

What do you think? And does anyone else have a 40k tattoo?
I seem to remember there was someone on 40kO who had a massive Mark of Khorne on their neck/upper back.

I can't remember who it was though...
Maybe they will show themselves again in this thread!

How did that thing feel once the artist got close to your sternum?  ;D

Don't forget to go back later and get the holidays filled in; large black and grey pieces tend to have ink not take in places due to its size (I usually go back and get a touch-up after two or three months).

Good job! fairly symmetrical; something hard to do when you're marking a squirmy guardsman.

I'm nearly covered (my sister is a professional tattoo artist), but I'm still undecided on my 40k piece; careful, tattoos are like potato ships (careful tattooing your spine, it hurts like torture IMHO)

Chaos symbols bad idea; it allows to gate in unsavory Daemonkind in the worst situations (Nurglings showing up after finishing cleaning the bathroom).

One of my friends has a Tzeentch tattoo on his arm. I think he might be getting another. I'm not a fan of tattoos, to be honest. Look cool on other people, but not for me.
