Battle-Brother Wags Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 quick. im getting a tat tomorrow and im getting the space wolf icon on my left bicep. i need a decent sized pic of the icon big enough to fit on it. pics will follow i need it quickly. Erm. Ahem. Ok, where to begin. I noticed in your profile (forgive me but I had to find out how old you were on this one) that your main interests are girls and warhammer . . . and you want to get a Wolfie tatoo on your bicep. So you plan on taking the mention of "girls" off your list of interests, right? And perhaps add it instead to your list of "pipe dreams"? Do you really want to explain to a girl that you had the emblem of a sci-fi/fantasy army (reminder here sci-fi stands for science FICTION) permanently tatooed on your bicep? You: "Oh baby they're so cool, they can take an insane amount of plasma and power weaponry . . . all my opponents faint dead away when they see my drop pods come screaming down from the heavens!!" Her: "uh . . . " You: "Yeah, and they have these blood claws that get like a biskillion attacks on the charge. But watch out, they get jumpy if you don't have an independent character leading them." Her: "uh . . . " Also I must comment on the fact that you want to get a tatoo and you obviously haven't done your research to know that the tat you want to get is EXACTLY what you want branded on your body until you are 90 years old and dying. Tats aren't something you really want to do in a "quick" fashion. I love my space wolves, too, man, but I beg you to reconsider this one . . . don't do it. For you own sake. But hey, thats just me. I'm not a real fan of tats, anyway. I've only ever seen one tat that was really awesome, and that is the one my older brother got on his upper arm/shoulder of one of the monsters from the kids book "Where the Wild things are" under a palm tree. Sweet. That is something that completely crosses all age/gender/socio-economic barriers, but I'm not so sure about the space wolf (or any wh40k) emblem . . . But I'd be interested to hear other people's opinions. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/116871-space-wolf-tat/#findComment-1345417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfside Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Seriously reconsider. Sleep on it, then if you are still going to get one, sleep on it again. Theres either going to be a day where you wish you hadn't done it, or a day that you were glad that you didn't do it. I've been thinking about getting a tattoo for years. Its just a matter of where and what. You are 18 - thats when my little sister got her tat. Its a chinese one and looks no good. its on her foot. its completely pointless. Anyway thats my opinion. And if are counting on making your biceps bigger through lifting weights, the tattoo is going to stretch and distort Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/116871-space-wolf-tat/#findComment-1345432 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Let's answer the topic question please. "The_Betrayed" asked about sizing not whether he should get the tat.

The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 i have thought about it and my girl friend/fiance is keen on it and likes it. besides its a wolf so i can pass it off as just wolfie. im getting it tomorrow and well im going to give it to the artist say i would like this and let him take it from there. trust me i am very serious about tatoos. i have often questioned and argued against my own friends tatoos and why they got them. i will post pics later today since it already is tomorrow. 1:34 am Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/116871-space-wolf-tat/#findComment-1345480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godspear Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Dude, trust me. Sleep on it. Currently, I've got my whole back done, my chest, and my right calf. Every time I walk into Funhouse to get work done, I see some dumb kid getting flash inked into him and someone else getting some flash covered up. My friends have tattoo'd each other drunk and had less regrets than the guys I see getting unoriginal crap pooped onto their bodies. I know you're probably reading this, saying, "Man, I'll never regret it! This fool doesn't even know what he's talking about!" Give it a year. My back was initially going to be some big ass tribal dragon I saw in the window. I went back home, mulled it over, now its a depiction of Thor fighting Jormugand against crashing waves and a stormy sky while lightning streaks and valkyries line the clouds to carry Thor's body to Valhalla (they end up killing each other in the end). Anyway, the point is, when you get work done, it's gotta be yours. It's gotta come from your imagination, not some trademark. This reminds me of a V:TM player I used to hang with who ended up getting the Gangrel symbol on his left pectoral. Biggest mistake of his life, A) because vampires are not as cool as space marines, and B ) It was a generic, unimaginative tat that meant absolutely nothing beyond face value to him. He dates fat chicks now. :wink: Edit:: And you should never be so ashamed of a tat that you have to "pass it off" to anyone. That's number one right there bud. If you're gonna be insecure about it, don't get it. I'm not tryin to be a jerk about it, I'm just trying to give you a little helpful advice. If you're dead set on a 40k tat, try some canon. Get a depiction of Russ returning at the Wolftime or work a sleeve tribute to the whole chapter. You don't need to get it finished in one sitting. You could prolly put the money to the initial outline and work it over time. I can almost guarantee you'll be much more proud of it when it's done.

Requiemnex Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Sorry bud i couldnt find any decent sized pictures. Did you try your codex? there are a few in there that you could have blown up at kinkos or something. As for all the guys telling him their opinion.. Although there may be grounds and base to what your saying its not really our call to tell this guy how to live his life.. if he wants to do it he is going to do it regardless of what any of us say. Good luck on the tat bro and I hope it comes out well for you!

Commissar Volker Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Godspear, your back tattoo sounds amazing, any chance of any photos of that? Personally I've been planning to get one but want to get fitter first so i can take my shirt off in public with pride and not scare people with my belly.

MeatGrinder Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I'd go with a small one, on my shoulder preferably. I was looking into getting a band symbol when i'm older. if anyone asks you BSW, just say its a wolf, and if they can draw a better one then fine :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/116871-space-wolf-tat/#findComment-1345954 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorgrin Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Godspear, your back tattoo sounds amazing, any chance of any photos of that? Seconded This might turn into a "Show (pride in) your Colors" Thread ;) Got Norse Mythology all over my left upper arm...we went a bit overboard, as only Mjöllnir was planned in the beginning... I´ll get some decent pics asap... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/116871-space-wolf-tat/#findComment-1346044 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneSniperSG Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Now all you need to do is wear a wolf tooth necklace like I do. Seriously, I wear one.

Decoy Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Just a quick ad-on to this, I've been thinking of getting a 13th company insignia on my back right shoulderblade, myself. However, I'm curious. Are there any other 13th company icons other than the wolf with the blood moon? And before someone jumps on me to "sleep on it", I've been "sleeping on it" for about four years now. :teehee: Just haven't had the money.

evil_scout Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Nice work. I like the simplicity of black & white on tatts. I only have color on one of mine and its just a small amount of red. The other six are all black & white. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/116871-space-wolf-tat/#findComment-1346735 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iacton Qruze Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 nice tat, though I also agree with the color bit. just remember, you have to play space wolves forever now. :) where does one find a wolf tooth necklace?

The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 color would have been nice but i think it would have added to the cost. the guy was already grinding my vertabrae as it was. i may go get touch ups every now and then and i will try to see what he can do.

The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 afternoon gentlemen and good morning to those state side. yes i realize that this is one hell of a necropost however it has to do with the current topic. i got this tattoo (the one higher up in the thread, not at the end of my post) 4 years ago or so and its time to update it. currently Im getting Wyrd Bid Ful Alread on my shoulder blades in elder futhark however i want to get runes around the diamond itself as im really starting to expand my artwork. im currently torn between two verses to outline it in. I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth. It sates itself on the life-blood of fated men, paints red the powers' homes with crimson gore. Black become the sun's beams in the summers that follow, weathers all treacherous. Do you still seek to know? And what? Brothers will fight and kill each other, sisters' children will defile kinship. It is harsh in the world, whoredom rife an axe age, a sword age shields are riven a wind age, a wolf age before the world goes headlong. No man will have mercy on another just wondering what your thoughts were on this so hit me up and let me know. front tattoo http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/305296_1992432770181_1224245015_31950116_6882636_n.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/116871-space-wolf-tat/#findComment-2883942 Share on other sites More sharing options...
