So I did a quick search of the forum and couldn't find any specific thread for forum members tattoos, besides one that specifically related to Malazan themed tattoos and another seeking advice. On that note, let's see what you've got. Anything, everything, bare it all!
I'm about to go get some more ink done so when I'll get back I'll put up pictures of my own tattoos, so in the mean time, let's see what the Malazan forums have to offer, whether you hold it in regret or in pride, give us a little back story as to why you got it and what it means to you!
Edit: Had a quick min, figured I'd put em up anyway. They're spoilered because of the huge size that I didn't have time to cut down
Born and raised in Australia, moved to the U.S. almost 6 years ago and wanted to get something that spoke of where I'm from and who I am. Thus the kangaroo and the Aussie flag. Probably my favorite tattoo.
My California bear and American flag. I'm half American and wanted to represent that side of myself, much like my kangaroo, and I moved to Cali, thus the bear (State animal).
The collar piece I somewhat regret, just because the guy who did the first part (Right side as you look at it) did a really shitty job. It says in Latin, "Alea iacta est, Etiam ego Nixor". Imperfect translation for any Latin experts out there, but it's a statement I live by. It translate to "The die is cast - Still I strive".
The cross on my sternum represents my faith.
The "M" was a tattoo I got for my wife, MacKenzie.
Try to keep my tattoos specific to who I am and where I've been, and I'm slowly adding to them. I'll have a Hawaii theme tattoo here soon, and my tattoo representing my time in the Marine Corps, and a couple others. I'll post the one I'm getting today when I get back.
Oh yeah, super sunburned. Gotta love living in Hawaii and being pasty white lol.

No, no, not really me. I've none but I enjoyed the ones above and abhorred those below:
"Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life." - Terry Pratchett, Jingo"Just erotic. Nothing kinky. It's the difference between using a feather and using a chicken." - Terry Pratchett, Eric "Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of a lack of wisdom." - Terry Pratchett
My favorite (funny) tattoo of all time is Steve-O's tattoo of himself on his back.
I laugh every time I see it.

I got this one because I feel that even though the good things in life have helped make me into the person I am, it was the adversity that I've faced thus far that's torn me down and helped build me back up. Kinda a trial by fire mentality behind it.
Nice! I had a bundle planned - my left instep (calf area) and both sleeves, my chest as well. If it's feasible (because, y'know, pubes) I've considered the Blue Rogues logo below the navel. I'd consider my hands as well, save that I work in legal admin and am considering qualifying under CILEx (in which case I would never get a job because visible tatts).
Help
