After thinking about it for many years I finally decided to get my first Tat. Now I will forever represent my first army.

Nice! I have sanguinius done on my forearm. The one of him with the chalice and bloody parchment from the chapter banner.

Frater Sanguinus!

I think I know the piece you are talking about. If so... I made that into my company banner back in 2ed.

You do realize your skin is now GW's intellectual property right?

hehe well the image on my arm is. Not like I can slap my companies logo on a wall and say the wall is mine.

Lol you do realise you are supposed to get permission before getting a tattoo of their IP you know?

Dude, that is hard core. You're like The Zune Guy of the 40K universe.

man.. you shoulda got a bigger tat.. that makes your shoulderpad look huge..




...



..


just kidding.. if you look at it at the right angle it does look like your shoulder is a shoulder pad though.. lol

I kept this one small and discreet so It could be easily covered at work. I also kind of have the idea bouncing around on getting the rest of my army badges... mayby doing order on one shoulder and disorder on the other. The only real problem is where to put the Tau since they always get grouped as disorder buut really arent evil. Then again they would even things out a little since the order side would be crowded.

As for the list though that would mean...

Order of Our Martyred Lady
Ulthwe
Grey Knights
Generic Dark Eldar
Sa'Cea Tau
Black Legion

I want an Aquillia. I hate needles. Used a transfer to look cool at a tournament once.

like the 'too!

A tattoo of a fictional military organization in the distant future. Great idea! I sure hope GW does not go under any time in the near future. It would really suck, years from now explaining to people what your tatoo stands for. On the other hand, I am sure your future kids will be very proud of their dad.

Ignore the naysayers.

GW "Cannot" allow the use of their imagery for tattoo purposes, and technically, you did breach some IP rights law. Good luck GW trying to get you to remove it though, since it's pretty unenforceable.

A mate of mine has necron 'circuitry' on the inside of both wrists (he also has a barcode on the back of his neck, though).

Darrian can we stick this in Gonads thread in the DCM forum? lol

Oh man...

Very disturbing.

Please provide pic.

I already alerted Waagh to this thread. This totally belongs in the "FAIL" thread.

The zune guy:



A better tattoo fail:

To be honest though I have considered over the years getting a tattoo of the BA symbol as they are the army I first started with and keep coming back to.

Now that you are marked as a 40k tragic for life this should be your next tattoo:

I was waiting for the shameless plug.

That is an awesome picture of a chaos lord and would look great in a frame on my wall, not on my back.

Is that chaos warrior pic real? my body a graphic desiegner swears its phot shoped, but who knows.

I saw a guy at the LA games day with all four chaos symbols tattooed on his arms.

An Australian gamer has this beauty...

You can tell that he has had that one for a while. He really should update it to 5th ed. It looks like a 3rd ed berzerker.

Shouldnt be too hard, hes already lost his trademark chainaxe

that piece of art though from 2nd ed was one of the best for 40K i have ever seen. He shold have gone black and white though, like the original print, color tats fade faster.

I like it though.

Now thats a tat

Here is my Blood Angels tattoo...



Since then I got a spot of skin cancer on the heart but the dermatologist was able to keep most of the tattoo intact when he removed the cancer.

G

Nice ink dude. Blood Angels were my first army too and I've contemplated getting the ol' winged blood drop somewhere. Probably pass though, having been corrupted by chaos and all that

Seriously contemplating getting the Alpha Legion symbol though, or a simplified blacked-out version of it, somewhere sneaky and such ala the legionnaries in Legion. Like hip or rip cage beneath armpit or something. That or look into a brand of it for EXTREME coreness.

For the other people with warhammer tats posted here, props all. The "tactical arrow" on my left shoulder is my homage to the game right now, but it's so vague (and on the wrong side for codex astartes mandates :S) that I don't think anybody would guess the reference.

The first Ba tatto was kinda small. Are you sure he did not just use the transfer you get on the Vehicle sprue and stuck that on?

Me I am still working out whether or not I want to be "that gaming nerd" so i think I have come to a Compromise.

The cover iconography from Ravenor and underneath put the following words
"I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul."
