The Illustrated Escapists.

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

Spoiler

But more detailed

You want more detail than that?

you'll be out of luck mate. You shouldn't really go into too much detail with tattoos because of how both you and they age. I'd say that's pushing it a bit with detail in all honesty. Going anymore detailed than that is just asking for trouble.

Think I confused matters by saying 'more detail' I used the term to mean with the extra things on... The bow, sword, arrows and spear. More 'details'... Lol, I know what you mean though, its pretty detailed as it is!

I'm planning on getting Ouroboros, the Snake Who Eats Its Own Tail, on the palm of my right hand.

That, my friends, is going to hurt.

A fan of FMA are we?

Haha, incidentally, yes, but that wasn't the origin of my interest. I'm not a homonculus, I swear!

Red Dwarf?
"Our Rob or Ross?"

OT - I've been planning to get a tattoo designed around the lyrics to The Mosquito Song for years now.

So I recently got my first tattoo and I have to say I'm pretty fucking stoked about it, I wanted to get something that signified my family and also looked cool, so my brother paid for my tattoo as a Christmas present.

So my fellow Escapists, show my your tattoos, tell everyone what they/it are/is, why you got them/it, what you plan on getting next, how did you react when getting it/them, how do people react to you tattoo(s), all that good stuff.

My tattoo isn't quite fully healed yet, so I won't be showing a picture of it, but here's what I got on my right forearm, maybe later I'll post a picture of it.

Off-Topic: Anymore MacAulays on the Escapist?

In the most respectful way to ask that I can: do you actually have the right to bear that coat of arms/heraldry (through descent) or did you just get it because of your last name?

Middle name actually, and yes, my family heritage is something I've always really liked and been proud of and my father's side of the family is very proud of their Scotish heritage, myself included.

I plan on getting a tattoo for every aspect of my geneology, I still have German, Spanish, Puerto Rican, Chippewa, and Cherokee to go, as well as a few symbols and quotes I really like, a tribute to the United States Military, and a tribute to my immediate family. I've been planning my tattoos for years now, but decided to get the MacAulay coat of arms first since my greatgrandfather died a few years back.

Ha! Gotta say that's gonna look cool as hell, palm wouldn't have been my first choice however.

I've been thinking about getting a tattoo of a spider on my arm, high enough so I can cover it if I want to.

Also I'd need to decide what kind of spider I want and make sure the tattoo artist knows what they are doing. I keep spiders and know quite a bit about their anatomy, so I wouldn't want weird-looking thing with eyes in a wrong place or legs that bend wrong on my arm...

 

[steeple]

I have my avatar on my chest (bigger, of course). got it when I was exactly 18, after thinking for more then three years about getting one and settling for the design for I think some long months...

I just love it!

Turning 19 soon and thinking of getting either this;

Or this

[Z of the Na'vi]

I don't have a tattoo, but in more recent times I have been seriously considering the possibility of one. I'd much prefer getting tattoo over a piercing, anyway. Yeesh.

Spoiler

Nothing too special, just on my upper arm somewhere. The Banjo Kazooie series is something that I have loved and will continue to love until the day I die. Their charm (At least from the N64 era) is what inspired me into selecting my own career path, and I revere the games for that manner, among other things.

In my eyes, there won't be a more perfect game, and I would love to have that symbol emblazoned into my flesh.

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

At some point in my life, I plan on getting the Supernatural anti-possession tattoo.

Spoiler

Because fuck demons.

And a heartagram.

Spoiler

Not necessarily this heartagram. A more stylized one. Probably have an artistic friend draw one for me.

I haven't got a Tattoo yet, but I've wanted one for a while. Trouble was in choosing what to get.

For a while I was going to get the "Earth" Symbol from Stargate (my favourite TV show)

But now I've decided on the Seal of Rassilon from Doctor Who.

It's just a bloody cool design, and symbolises infinity. It's they type of design that's only geeky if you know what it is.

I was thinking of getting it done this month. Though I have no idea how much Tattoos cost.

Those are two great designs! I was thinking about a tattoo for a while and thought about getting the 6 symbols of Earth's Gate address with the Tauri Point Of Origin underneath.

 

[El Presidente]

None at the moment, but in the future I want to get this on my chest:

Spoiler

If you know what it is, you're awesome.
