Hi all,

As part of my 'i'm freaking out about turning 30' thing i have going on at the mo, i have decided to get my rubbish tattoo on my foot covered up with something nicer. It's also got me thinking about finally getting a LOTRs one.

Do you have any to show me? I want something girly, im thinking a quote, except i cant decide on my fave one?! :shock:

It is the ring inscription.
It says.

Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.

or in the common tongue

One Ring to rule them all, One ring to find them; One ring to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them.

I love Lord of the Rings :-D

Yes, course! Love it! I have some really horrid symbols on my left foot (cringe) which im getting covered up next weekend. I might brave a before/after when they are done.

I have no tattoos but was told once that the only one they would recommend is 'If found, please forward to the nearest mental institution. Thank you for your assistance.'

I have an east gate of moria tattoo on my left arm, next im getting Pedo melon a mino underneath and dont know after that. Looking for other examples of cool lotr artwork, thinking about either the white tree of gondor or possinbly some sort Morgoth and fingolfin show down scene, now that would be awsome!

Not yet, but I'm getting a Summoning logo tat later in the year hopefully which is tangentially LotR related. I'm pretty tempted to get something in the black speech, too, written in runes.

Fab idea's!

I really want a quote, but cant decide my favourite. I do love 'one does not simply walk in to Mordor' but i would rather have a more meaningful one. I just found this site:

http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2012/05 ... the-rings/

And strangely enough the one that gave me goosebumps reading them back was this:

Theoden: Eomer. Take your Èored down the left flank. Gamling, follow the King's banner down the center. Grimbold, take your company right, after you pass the wall. Forth, and fear no darkness! Arise! Arise, Riders of Theoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword day... a red day... ere the sun rises! Ride now!... Ride now!... Ride! Ride to ruin and the world's ending! Death! Death! Death! Death!
Forth, Eorlingas!

Mine is not directly LotR related. It's an old viking design, so you could say it's kind of Rohan-ish... well, that's kind of far-fetched, I admit.

Medieval Finns were not vikings, but they traded a lot with the Swedish ones. The image is based on a cloak brooch found near where my parents live.

I havn't got any LOTR tattoo's. but I do have a Final Fantasy 7 one (with the planet being the planet Twinsun from the video game Little Big Adventure) and a Zelda tattoo.

Thank you! I have finally had the one on my foot finished (well, I say it's finished but they are so addictive I fear it may not be...)

so the next one I am getting will be on my right foot and it's going to be a LOTRs one and say 'not all those who wander are lost'

Let's dig this up! I got a Tolkein tattoo about a month ago on a visit to London to see my girlfriend.

Gets a little deformed when I lift my arm up and twist to take a picture and it's a lot smaller than it looks because I have to get the camera so close to focus on it all.

*Edit* The bit where I stick out is my ribs not my beer belly!! :no:
