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

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).

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!"

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.

I got a Space Wolf tattoo on my chest.

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.

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.

Back on topic - I have Krom Dragongaze's symbol on my right wrist.

Dude, are you one of the three people with hh?

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.
