LOTR Tatoos
What would make a really cool LOTR tatoo?
Maybe something written in elvish or a symbol. Something not too obvious. Any ideas? |

Well all of the fellowship apart from John Rhys Davis has a tattoo of the elvish for nine. And Elijah Wood is thinking about having the sword wound mark done on his chest.
I think Tolkien signature symbol would be really cool and if you were REALLY ambitious a map of middle earth on your back!!! Maybe i'll have that one day!

The Tolkein signiture is quite smart but I was thinking of something from the story.
A whole map!!! What is the Elvish word for nine ? Just curious. |

Does it say in the books if any of the characters have tattoos? Because you could copy that (and make the madness complete...). I'd be too scared to have a tattoo though

I really want a tattoo of the tengwa for m (it's kind of my letter, just seems to pop up in everything I do).
But then again, I also really want a replica weapon of some kind (sword or bow), neither of which I am likely to get. As to your actual question I would say, pick something that you think represents you and find out how to write it in elvish. |

IF I were getting a tattoo, IF and I wont just IF. I would PROBABLY get a Ring on my shoulder where the arm and neck connect. Or I might get an elanor flower put on my foot or ankle. Or maybe Frodo Lives on my forearm written up the length. But I would probably get the Elanor on my foot, If i were to get a tattoo.

I would love a tattoo, right on the small of my back. Something from LotR would be really cool. So would the Darwin fish, for that matter.

Has anyone ever seen the X-files episode with the talking tattoo? I really like that one. The tattoo's pretty even if it's homicidal. :P

YES YES I HAVE SEEN THAT ONE! (no surprise really!)
It was called Nevr Again and the tatoo was called Betty (I think) My dad really wants a tatoo but I hate the way they fade after a while. Right accross the chest you good get a blarog with wings spread out an dunderneath "It DOES have wings!"

I think Sean Bean got the Elvish number 9 on his arm. I think I would like an elvish number, but I'm not very familiar with them. I think Frodo Lives! on my arm would be cool.
BTW stramberry, David Wenham has been in a few TV shows and movies here in Australia and has a large umm, female following.

The tattoo-wish came later. But I'm pretty sure that's where she got the idea.
