Anybody have any 40k tattoos? Considering getting one/some?

I've just scheduled to get a Mark of Khorne with Khorne in small letters underneath on my chest (left pectoral) and Blood For The Blood God down the center of my back. Pretty excited, and I've already rehearsed my answers to "what is that?" to cover up my geek-ness Which should be quite often, since it's summer!

I have A LOT of tattoos, but i have been toying with the notion of getting the blood angels symbol tattooed on my chest.

That's awesome. These will actually be my first two.

Sounds cool, but I would consider the potential impact it could have on my love life first if I was you.


there was a guy that had an Aquila Tattoo. he lost a girl because of it. she thought it was some sort of Nazi symbol.

I've got a full shoulder pad done on my left arm with bullet holes, Crux Terminatus, and a few other bits of iconography. It's in my gallery, take a peek if you'd like.

Most of the girls I know find tattoos attractive.

Your example may be an extreme one, but I wouldn't want anything to do with a woman that stupid. Since when does an eagle = nazi? If anybody it's more USA or (even more accurate) Ancient Rome.

Cool! Do you get a lot of non 40k gamers asking you about it? What do you tell them? The bullet-holes with the wiring that looks like it's actually under your flesh is a great touch.

the aquila example is abit extreme(the double headed eagle is indeed a german icon)


but the words "Blood for the Blood God" might put off even more open minded women.

it would certaintly raise eyebrows for all who saw it. only fellow 40k nerds would think it was cool.


the Khorne symbol would be cool though.

Valid point, perhaps I should be a little more conservative and opt for Skulls For The Skull Throne!

I know some guys who all got a Crux Terminatus on their left shoulders when they went to GD LA

thats a little better.

I remember that story about about the Aquila, he took his shirt off and she saw it and thought it was the Iron Eagle. Apparently he tells people who ask that he is a Romanov. (Russian Royal Family, pre revolution) Though the Hapsburgs used it as well, and I think that Hohenstauffen but I'm not 100% sure on that one.

I was going to get a ruler tatooed on my arm, so if i wanted to rest my arm on the table during a game, i could secretly measure distance! hahaha... jk...

But I was thinking a powerfist crushing two dice somewhere on my body

I'm scheduled to get this one: http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.195738785.jpg on my arm in July.

I know someone with the Blood Angels icon on his arm.

I met a guy with Isha's Eye on his chest too.

Met someone with a perfect Command And Conquer symbol on his arm. Who the hell gets a game, specifically a bad one like that, tatooed to their arm?

I'd do halo because it defined a generation, or 40k because it is so old (for a game) but CnC?

CnC was good while it was controlled by the westwood.
EA made CnC games however....*spits*

I have some tattoos and one big chest piece. For those that have never gotten a chest piece tattoo, it hurts a little more than a regular tat somewhere else. The breastplate is the killer. It was all good until the outline started there. Normally, the shading makes the area go numb, but not when it was on the dead center. And I have a decent pain tolerance.

I let out a slight groan and the tattoo artists asked me if I needed to take a crap... Lol.

As to 40k tattoos, I want some Dark Eldar glyphs done. Screw all that kanji crap.

I like all the CnC games.

the Tiberium Wars are just getting interesting



that said, there are cooler things to get a tattoo of.

Grey Templar wrote:the aquila example is abit extreme(the double headed eagle is indeed a german icon)

Isn't it the hapsburg family symbol? They ruled germany for a long time along with some other places. But anyone with any history knowledge should understand what it is, and a simple explanation would allow your average person to seperate it from the nazis.

as soon as a german connection is made some peoples eyes will glaze over.



or, you get absolved of Nazi connections and then you get accused of having ties to a conspiracy theory.

I've toyed with it, I already have several tattoos that reflect the things I love (ie dragons, Thor, Japanese artwork, Marilyn Manson portrait, a family crest) I've always like Dark Elves/Eldar, so I'd probably do something related to them.

My eyes are rolling so hard right now, I fear they will fall out of their sockets.

Imperial Eagle right shoulder, Terminator Crux left shoulder. I think even my missus likes them!

I've got the custodes chapter symbol on my chest (was the table number for the head table at my wedding) with the words faithfully underneath it.

I am going to get a traditional styled portrait of an ork with text that days more dakka on my junk leg.

I figured it was best to have a leg where i could get souvineer tattoos or things i like that don fit with my other cohesive pieces.

i have a khorne tat in UV ink on my wrist. 'blood for the blood god' says a little too much, imo.

does it only show under black lights?

now thats cool

Grey Templar wrote:does it only show under black lights?

yep! but since i'm white as white gets, the scar tissue, which usually isn't as visible in tattoos, gives it a very faint pink look, almost like a brand.

Be careful about showing them in any Games Workshop because I once heard about a guy who had a tale of woe that I think you guy's should take heed of and it goes like this.

He decided to have a tattoo of an Aquila on the top of his arm and went to show it off at his local GW where he attended regular gaming events and somehow GW ended up taking him to court for copyright infringement! They were successful as well.

So if you decide to get some ink to show the world your love then be careful who you show it to.

Omegus wrote:My eyes are rolling so hard right now, I fear they will fall out of their sockets.

As are mine.

I keep going back and forth with getting the atherakhia symbol. I think I'll just have it put on a hat or something instead.

I also think you should rethink the wording. I think in 10 years you'll really regret having Khorne written on the tattoo. I also think you should rethink the wording down your spine. If you want something, get a column of skulls similar to the ones the decapitator is standing on in the dark eldar book.

That is anecdotal and not true. Peole have tried to su others for duplicating tattoos or getting. logos but none have ever been successfull. It falls under fair use.

yeah, you think GW would actually like the Tats.


its free advertising for a company that does almost none itself.

40k tattoos at least will have some taste to them.

not like some tacky cards, naked women, or awful illegible writing of satanic script.

Never found an image I thought "wow! must permanently engrave this into my skin!" about. But that's just me, nothing against anyone else having a tat, MoK and Ork Gylph look cool, as does Crux Terminatus.

Unfortunately, this is completely false. It all falls under intellectual property laws and is not exempted by the VERY few reasons you can get around these laws (mostly education related). "Fair use" is not some magical thing that allows you to do whatever you want with other people's IP. A few examples of things that cannot be copied: books (of any kind), professional photographs (such as wedding photos or school photos), trademarks and logos (such as the Nike swish), or intellectual property (such as Mikey Mouse). Just about all of the product range (including artwork) produced by GW is OWNED by GW. For example: wedding photos are owned wholly by the photographer who took the photos. You cannot make copies of them, t-shirts, tattoos, anything that portrays the image of the photo. The handful of exemptions to this law include, but are not necessarily limited to, educational use (and even here it is extremely limited to what can and cannot be copied), and... that's about it! The moment a party other than GW makes money on GW's intellectual property, that party is breaking copyright laws. So are YOU going to get sued? Probably not, but you can be. Is the third party? Probably not, but they can be. In fact, Games Workshop specifically forbids the use of their IP for items such as tattoos and T-shirts.

Finally, there does not have to be a monetary transaction to break these laws. All that GW would have to show is a potential loss. This loss doesn't even have to be a product that is currently produced, but can include loss of market share for future products (such as T-shirts, tattoos, etc.).

That being said. There can be some awesome GW related tattoos. I've seen a few myself. The likelihood of any negative consequences (aside from the normal ones that come with getting a tattoo) are rather negligible. The one thing always to remember is "is that Aquila on my chest going to look awesome when I'm 30? 40? 50?"

No, the story is anecdotal.

Can you provide a single case of a lawsuit over copyrighted materials being tattooed and the plaintiff winning? Ultimately the the company is receiving a boots in advertising so it benefit to them.

Also tattoos done in a traditional style age very well.

One of the staffers at my local GW store has an Aquila on his wrist. I've never heard of him coping any flak over it and he's had it since before working there.
Anyway back to tats.

Id love to have the courage to get the DA logo inked somewhere. But i just dont.
I was awestuck the first time i saw this Warhammer tat.

So I assume

Burn the Heretic
Kill the Mutant
Purge the Unclean
is just fine . All kidding aside I don't think I would get a 40k tattoo largely for the fact of when you have grandchildren enjoy explaining what that fethed up symbol is, however this is personal taste for me, not something I expect others to adhere to. XD

I remember that guy. She was probably Jewish. Besides that, lacking the ability to simply explain a concept of fairly niche relevance in the context of a relationship is a sign of destructively poor intercommunication.

Muhr, I personally know GW staff members with aquila tattoos. I don't think they're running around suing themselves. Although the law would differ around the world generally only the design of the tattoo will have any relevance, and I don't know what damages could possibly be claimed. Unless you're somehow profiting from your personally commissioned body art it's about the most minimal issue I can imagine when considering actually getting such a tattoo..

I am getting a Blood Drop soon.

None of which changes the fact that while GW could take legal action over tattoos (although it would be more likely to be aimed at the artist rather than the guy with the tattoo, since the artist is actually the one at fault) to date they have not ever actually done so.

Probably because it would be a legal minefield, not worth the bad press, and because in the very few cases where companies have tried this, they have lost.

So can we please drop the legal discussion, and the rolling of eyeballs, and let those actually interested in the topic carry on their discussion?

My apologies. I guess I'm just gullible then, damn.

mark of khorne would look good. script running down your spine not so much. if it was me I would do just the mark. That guys back piece looks good but to much orange for my tastes.

Whilst cool, I can't help thinking a glowing Tzeentch symbol would be more appropriate. Still, personal preference, glad to see you;re happy with it.

I used to collect pix of 40k tattoos cause I thought it was crazy and cool all at the same time.. I personally will never get one.

My favourite is still this one.. Belongs to a guy on the BnC.







No idea who



LOLOLOLOLOL

Moar
http://s1036.photobucket.com/albums/a445/mabbon/tattoos/?start=all

That one from the BNC is a cut tattoo. The artist takes a razor blade and basically draws into your skin. Somehow they invented a more permanent way of marking yourself than tattoos. Damn

The First tattoo I ever got was a Dark Angels logo when I was 16...
Which is pretty dumb considering I have never played Space Marines, let alone DA. I just thought it "looked coolest" haha.

That carving looks like it hurt. Hope it was worth it.

HOLY FETHING HELL THAT WOULD HURT. I realllllllllly hope she never regrets getting that. Although appropriate that its a Slaanesh symbol i suppose.

...And those folks have gone over the deep end (the last guy would look like a neo nazi to just about anybody who isn't into the game system). Additionally, the khorne symbol around here's somehow became the tag for the local ned gangs, so yeah, the guys that do have them usually have the right to have a few real scars alongside it aswell (...stupid kids like to play with knives it seems).

...My friend Chris, who may or may not look like said pimp when he's still dressed for his dance classes, might just have a Slaaneshi symbol amongst his Celtic tattoos (he used to be into 40k in a big way when he first discovered the wonder of ink). ...Just...don't tell his wife what it actually is.

LMFAO

A gang using Khornate symbols.. lol. I would be more impressed if they used slaanesh.

My new one finished today. Yes that nose ring is a nipple ring

Mark of Khorne sounds nice, "blood for the blood god" not so much, besides the mentioned WTF moments when someone sees it, even visually text rarely makes a good tatoo

I just can't imagine getting a 40K tattoo for the same reason I don't get a tattoo of my wife's name, those things are forever!

Not specifically Warhammer-related, but I have an eight-rayed star (the "symbol of chaos") done on my left pectoral. Half the arms/rays are done in a red, organic "splatter" pattern, the other half are done in a black, iron-work style pattern.

Though it's used a lot in Warhammer, the eight-arrows-of-Chaos actually originates with Michael Moorcock, as a symbol, perhaps even before then with Chaos Physics... but definitely Moorcock as far as fiction/fantasy is concerned,

I've had few ideas to tattoo into my skin:
An ultramarine heroics to my right shoulder
or
an bad ass chaos lord standing atop of an huge pile of skulls to my back
(i've also had an idea of tattooing the void-dragon to my left hand)

I've got a few tats, none of them are product specific, or a band or anything like that. I don't think I would ever want something a company creates as a tattoo. Not knocking it as some of them are cool, like the Khorne back piece. Just not my cup of tea.

lol it would be cool to have an evil sunz symbol on my arm... with "the red ones go fasta!"

maybe GW could do a thing where all players have to have "I am Alpharius" tattooed, y'know so we can recognize each other in the street :L

The idea of a Drumchapel gang going in for the Khorne look is somehow appealing. There is some sort of moral in there, somewhere. "Chaos doesn't pay!"

Fairfeldia wrote:maybe GW could do a thing where all players have to have "I am Alpharius" tattooed, y'know so we can recognize each other in the street :L

To be fair, it isn't like 40k players are hard to spot. The carry cases and black T-shirts are usually a give-away.

Well as a tattoo artist for 16 years now, I have been privlegded to do a few 40k/fantasy tats and have one myself. Not big but a ripper was put in an area to fill it up. I don't play my nids very often, but the tat fit. Most people thinks it's from Alien, lol.

As for the legal thing, once a pic has been published in a book or mag and you purchased it, you already paid a basic fee for use of the art as a tat. Anything put on the internet is fair game period even if it says something like copyrighted or may not duplicate. We can't legally put up designs in our studios like Mickey Mouse or Scooby Doo unless the pics were bought by a company that produces tattoo flash where-as the rights were given. Also as stated earlier, most companies are greatful to have free advertising of any kind.

I want the Imperial Eagle between my shoulder blades on my back. Nuff said...........

Khorne symbol sounds cool. But you gotta have pretty jacked pecs to make it look legit. Blood for the Blood god is a bit much imho but to each his own.

Wow, there are some badly executed tats in this thread. There are also some very good ones.

Mine was done more for a comedic factor, my own 15pt attack squig upgrade. But the dude does awesome work and at a fair price a benjamin including the piercing. Just the outling was a trace everything else was free hand based on some Warhammer Online concept art. With the piercing I can change up his nose ring, the tattooing on the nipple hurt a lot more then the actual piercing.

Hargus56 wrote:My new one finished today. Yes that nose ring is a nipple ring

That is gonna look hella awesome when all the hair that you had to shave grows back!

Shouldn't be too bad, got one on my leg that can be seen really well. I'm hairy but very light skinned so it should show through quite well.

I'm not really sure if I'm a universal blood donor or not. Since nobody else is sure, I can't safey get a tatoo without wasting a secure source of income (blood banks). If I ever have to donate an organ, however, I'll be able to get inked as much as I please. Maybe I'll get an Aquila in the back. Or the winged skull on my arm. Or a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT!

I have the rarest blood type imaginable and due to the make up of my blood I don't give blood. I give plasma. (My body produces enough plasma and at such a rapid pace that I can give in one sitting what the normal person would give in 5 or 6.)

I've thought about it off and on, but I think the most I would get is a die, as in dice. Then again I drew all of my own tattoos and have close friends actually needle me. Oh, and I am surprised no one has gotten something like a Purity Seal.

You have tatoos and yet you still donate plasma? Isn't that illegal?

I don't think it is in the states, but I may be wrong.

It's not. And yes, I am in the US. You can't have had ink done in the last year however. A lot of that is based on honesty due to the fact that after the healing process you can easily get away w/ the tattoo being three months old or so.

-J.

But you can't give blood if you look or seem to gay as seen here: http://technorati.com/lifestyle/article/blood-donor-turned-down-for-looking/

and that has nothing to do with Tattoos. just blood donation.

In the UK, we have to wait about 6 months to a year and think we need a blood test first.

Hi guys. Sorry to bump this old thread but got my own since saturday:



Quite happy with it

just got my ink the other day, figured being a son of dorn was the best way to go, though i still have to go back and get the coloring done when this bit heals.

Been looking at a nice grey scale Adeptus Mechanicus cog and skull with crossed rifles on the forehead as my graduation present to myself when I finish my apprenticeship and trade schooling for gunsmithing next year.

Im thinking about getting something fantasy related on my left arm.
Right arm is now a finished half sleeve, (St. Georges themed with knights and a dragon infront of a keep) last bit healing up now.

So once thats done, im moving onto a half sleeve on the left, so need to try and tie it in somehow.

I may be misreading this, but I don't know if you want that tat, or any tat, on your forehead.

HAHAHAHA

I think he means he wants the Skull to have the crossed rifles on its forehead.

I saw a couple at WalMart the other week. Dude had an Aquila tattooed on his arm, the lady had a WFB Dark Elf glyph on her forearm.

I know, I was having a laugh at his expense.

I actually really want a WH40k tat (an Ork glyph most likely), even though I've only been playing it for about six years. Might wait a bit longer, especially since I need to finish my half-sleeve of Cthulhu on my right arm.

I already have a Planescape: Torment symbol on my left arm and SPQR under a Roman Aquila on my left chest. I can't get much nerdier.

Edit: Also, that squig tattoo is amazing.

I'm getting a double-headed eagle on friday (not an aquila), had the artist draw the left head blindfolded actually heres a pic:



(note its on a couple different sheets of transfer paper and they might not have been oriented correctly... the left head is definitely blindfolded, and the mandolorian skull is cracked on the right side...

There are bad ideas for tattoos, and there are really bad ideas for tattoos.

This thread is a humorous example of both. Bravo.
