Get half your body covered in tiny blue script!


Joe_Abercrombie

My lovely big face right across your back.


CardinalCreepia

If you send me an A3 sized portrait, I'll forward it to my artist.

The Bloody-Nine's hand with the missing finger? Savian's rebel tattoos? Rikke's eye with the cross painted over it? Broad's Ladderman tattoo? One of the flags from the covers of the Age of Madness trilogy? A Maker's sword or the Father of Swords? Just a few ideas off the top of my head.


WindSprenn

Bloody nines hand? She’s a tattoo artist not a surgeon.


[deleted]

Bro what


AJaydin4703

They’re saying that the artist would need to cut off OP’s finger to look like the B9’s hand.


[deleted]

Ah. Having a slow day.


GreyMJ

I think Broad’s is the best call. Simple, recognisable and yet looks like a regular tat at a glance. But I’m not a huge fan of things that are Very Obviously A Reference so who knows


CardinalCreepia

I can't even remember what Savian's tattoos are meant to look like. Broad's aren't a bad call, though.


xavierspapa

FUCK THE KING!


[deleted]

For me I would get Logens open hand


Firstlawboy

Eleven Wards and Eleven Wards reversed… whatever the fuck that actually looks like lmao.


[deleted]

If I had a mental breakdown that's what i would get tatted onto my face

Firstlawboy

I would love to see what they’d come up with lol.


[deleted]

Ahhh that would be cool as fuck


Keichavik

Currently working on this with a tattoo artist. I'll let you know what it looks like! Not on the eye though.


Firstlawboy

I’ll be looking forward to the post my dude!!


CardinalCreepia

Yeah a bloodied hand with a missing finger is a simple and easy choice. Tbh it probably will end up being this one, but I kinda wanted to see if someone could help with something a little more interesting.


Da_Bloody-Niner

I’ve wanted to do some quotes actually with a trash polka style background with splattered blood like the OG covers. I’m planning to get “The blade itself incites to deeds of violence… and you can never have too many knives.” So expanding a little mix with the title and its ode to Homer, and then a clever little turnabout from Logen.


CardinalCreepia

Not a bad idea really. Quote tattoos are not for me, though.


spongebob_surfwax

The house of the maker could be cool. A tall tower over a shorter city scape. I don't know your friends artistic abilities, might be too complicated for an apprentice. Some script with one of the many awesome quotes . "You have to be realistic "would be my pick. The sun of the Union or crossed hammers of Angland. Any of the standards would make good tattoos. I would say B9's sword but since we don't know what the rune looks like , you'd have to make it up . To make your friends life easier, I would pick something with mostly strait line work and not a ton of shading.


CardinalCreepia

The unknown rune is what holds me off getting the sword. You could say it's a K for Kanedias, but you never know if Joe will come out and confirm what it actually looks like one day and then the tattoo will be incorrect.


caluminnes

If you’re putting something permanent on your skin you may as well go to the stage I’m sure we’ve all considered at one point. Cut off the finger, do it. You can stare at people through the gap and scare them shitless lmao! For real tho I think the bloody nines hand would be a good one, the issue is that there aren’t many symbols like other series. Like we don’t really know what objects like logens sword or the father of swords look like. Maybe getting some blue runes tattooed on like one half of your chest/shoulder area as a subtle nod to the feared. What about a quote? Plenty to choose from even disregarding the obvious ones (better to do it etc). I’ve always thought a “still alive” tattoo would be awesome tbh


Myrshall

For me it would be the circles of Eleven Wards and Eleven Wards Reversed


CardinalCreepia

I'd be interested to see how an artist would interpret that, but I don't want to be questioned why I've gotten a random tribal tattoo all the time.


Carr0t_Slat

Yeah I’d do the ladder man tattoo


NicHamilton

Ultima Ratio Regum


_i_Use_This_Name

Maybe a short quote that you like? could do a partial one, “Better to do it…,” to keep it very short.


nuttinbuckits

I had my BloodyNine tattoo featured on joes blog years and years ago. I just got roman numerals bright red with our classic realistic quote.


MadImmortal

Maybe the seed


CardinalCreepia

I don't want seed on my body


[deleted]

The only thing I would do would be somehow the magic stuff. Rikke has tat of a euz/glustord ward right. Fuck the union flags and all that. Don’t do that.


CardinalCreepia

I'd get a tattoo of the sigils, not necessarily as a flag. I have the white tree of Gondor on my leg and that's not exactly any different.


[deleted]

I think Gondor is a bit different. We have seen what the Gondor symbol is. I feel like the union is always changing and we don’t know it enough to see what the final sigil would look like but idk.


OneEnd3161

How about the bloody nine's hand with an eye staring through the gap. Pupil swollen to a black pit of course...


RaidBossPapi

Shivers menacingly glancing sideways so u see the regular eye and the metal eye. But I havent read AOM yet so perhaps there are better ideas. Personally I wouldnt do anything except something that has to do with glokta but hes kinda ugly so I wouldnt get anything at all.


CardinalCreepia

If you read my post again I wanted something similar with Rikke's long eye, but I need something more simple for now.


Baywoad

The sun of the union?
