Well, it should be pretty straight forward on this one. I'm pretty tatted up, up to six and was contemplating another one pretty soon, and since the Malazan books have such a great affect on many of us, I was wondering what other peoples opinion of a good tattoo idea from the series they might considering getting. For me personally, it has proven to be rather difficult to choose something for the immediate future since so many thoughts occur to me. One idea was getting seven crows for Coltaine and the Seventh army, another was getting a T'lan Imass, the last two ideas was either the Empires symbol of the talon hand with the orb or the Bridgeburner emblem.

Anyways, I'd like to see the creative things people can come up with. POW!!!!

Someone already got the House of Chains art tattoo'd on to their arm for ultra fanboy points.

I've got a qoute from MT on my arm, and the only reason it's my only one so far is money. Really like the seven crows/feathers idea and there's a cool design of the BB emblem by Enaglio floating around the forum. As to a T'lan Imass, I guess you'd need a really good image of one when you want it on your skin forever.. But I'm kind of an artist myself and pretty picky about images, so well..

Money is always the BIGGEST problem with tattoos, find a buddy who does tattoos and your all set. Mind if I ask what the quote is? I probably will go with the crows since Coltaine is one of the few 'heros' of the novels that I really liked so much.

Think it's Icarium Kalam who has the ultra points tattoo.

Edit: Yes, I'm right -> http://forum.malazan...opic=19854&st=0

Thats is a pretty sick tattoo, that would be hard to top if I was a petty, overly competitive jerk, (which is only slightly true about myself.) Anyways, the artist did a great job on Icarium Kalams tattooso I can only hope I can get something as amazing as that one.

I've got a coursemate at uni who's a tattoo-artist. She charges less than most but still, she's got to pay her rent, too, and I'm more than happy to pay for good work. It just takes waaay too long to save up enough

The quote's 'Victory is not inevitable.'
Everyone's favourite albino Andii delivers it within a speech to Brys [in case it's not clear where it's exactly from]. I like it because you can take it out of context and it still makes sense.

The crows seems like a good idea, I think. Be sure to show us when you do it

I'm thinking of getting a BridgeBurners tattoo and looking for some ideas:
Check it out as it is start...The sigil would be round right where the opening in the legs are roughly if you picture it.

I want to combine these too with the tattoo artistic flair as I found a phoenix artist who works with dragons/phoenix. It would be my first tattoo so looking for advice.
Im very certain i don't want first in last out on it unless i can find some awesome lettering.





Im going for a legit look.

My second idea for a tattoo would be Avendosra with Dovie andi se tovya sagain down my whole side over the ribs.

Neat. The first picture, the two animals are kinda overly stylized for my tastes, but conceptually it's cool. And the lower picture is cool too, though I would rough it up/age it so it looks more like a medal (or something) and less like a logo.

Other than that, alls I gotta say is you should post more often, the board needs you.

[Nicodimas]

Im still trying to figure out how to piece together the bridgeburners tattoo..i will have it for certain just want to get something going with it now to give a proper looks.

I have a thing for Phoenix's so I would like to add that there somehow...i figured a dragon is fitting too.


Maybe work the Logo itself on a Shoulder paldron:

Get one of the standard flown by the letherii in RotCG!!! K no, but I've always that the imperial sigil was pretty tight looking.the crow sounds cool too tho.

[Nicodimas]

I like this guys art style, but it looks like he hasn't been on site for some time:

If I have child, boy or girl, I will let the mother name it what she wants but will stand firm that his/her middle name must be Caladan. Its normal enough that people will think its a real name and he/she isnt going to be bullied for it or anything.

But ill know where it came from and will refer to the child by that name.

Nobody happens to know this ^ artist in real life perchance to bug them about getting back to me. PLEASE

I found a cool tattoo artist, just need to work out the specs.
