What ink you got??
I have the Wheel of Time symbol on my left arm (the wheel with the Ouroboros serpent) and a bridge on fire on my right arm (the Bridgeburners, from Malazan).
I have Pain and Itachi from Naruto on my leg, flowers along my ribs, and planning to get whitebeard from one piece and Carrie (stephen king). Now I got to decide what fantasy book series to get a tattoo of... probably dresden files :)
Less than a stale burnt Popeyes biscuit
Just yesterday, I got a brand of sacrifice from berserk in my right calf with other symbols from Watchmen and FMA and tomorrow I'll complete it with some Avatar TLAB, SW, Golden Kamuy, DBZ and HxH. Yes, my leg now is a red flag that screams "doesnt shower". Also One piece and Bioshock in my arms
Book related, right now I only have a rune from Shadohunters (I know........ bit cringy but whatever). I have many more planned, including some from Mistborn, Game of Thrones, This is how you lose the time war and Doctor Who
As a tattooer I would highly recommend finding an artist who specializes in coverups. Don't let someone bully you into believing that you need to do something big bulky and dark to cover those things. A good tattooer can use what's there, add color and shape and distract the eye. If you have any questions I would happily answer them!
Don't forget about his color allergic reaction.
Nah... I'm pretty sure the only answer is to get a massive black lightning bolt...
For the "Atheism symbol" one, a good artist could easily turn that into a coiled up Xenomorph or something imo. That was the first thing I thought of anyone. Or even incorporate it into an overall science spiral tattoo that also resembles a spiral galaxy?
Why not laser surgery?
I got this shitty ass small tiki face thing when I was drunk in Thailand. I don't really like it or the spot I got it on my arm. It looks like a temporary tattoo that you press with the wet cloth but it doesn't go away. It's actually terrible and I'm definitely gonna take your advice to cover it haha
I'd love to get a tattoo in the future - but knowing my indecisive ass, I would just regret it in a couple months. It couldn't be a last minute decision for me, it'd have to be something thought about and processed over a long amount of time, lol.
I haven't regretted any of my tattoos yet. But also as a rule I have to decide to get it.. then wait an entire year before actually doing it. I've avoided a lot of bad ink that way
There's a specific type of ink that last a year only. if you google it it'll probably pop up. you can test it out with that
I used to think the exact same. and then I did one.
now I'm like, "man, I wish I had more", and I require way less thought and process to convince myself to get one
I have a bunch of tattoos and have one covered by now, and am planning to get at least one more covered. And let me tell you. Tattoos just become part of your body, and if you really get sick of them, you can get them covered! It's really not as big a deal as people make it in their brains. Especially if you're really into tattoos and think you will want more than just a few. Your body is just an empty sketchbook, have fun with it!
I don’t know if I’d ever get a tattoo, but if I did, it would be deeply personal. The only ones I’ve considered are memorials to my parents and a stylized line art cat because I’m obsessed with cats. By the cat, the names of my cats. If I had something permanently put on my body, it’d have to be fundamental to my life.
That Atheism tattoo is incredible. 😂 I could imagine myself doing so at the same age if I hadn’t been so scared of needles. Well. Live and learn
I didn't even know "atheism" had a symbol. A mere lack of belief shouldn't really have a symbol...
@@flavoredwallpaper The atheism that he’s referring to (or at least that I was referring to) wasn’t atheism as a generic concept, it was Atheism, a particular bundle of philosophy that was a popular combination at the time. It was as much of a broad philosophy/worldview as many people’s religious beliefs, so I don’t think it’s entirely inappropriate to describe it in similar term. (Not that I endorse a lot of that package of philosophy any more.)
I only have 7 tattoos so far but I've been getting them since literally the day I turned 18. I think they're such a cool way to display our personal journey! Do I have a few I wouldn't get nowadays? sure, but I still think they mark important stuff at the time I got them and represent past me hehe
I love so many of yours but the star wars one got me really by surprise hahaha it's officially iconic no backsies
Ohhh fresh. I’ve been thinking of getting a tattoo, so this is great video for me. I want to get my cat, she has 3 legs, 1 eye, and half her ears, and I kinda want a ghost of what she’s missing. She’s a mess and deserves a beautiful picture.
That's both very sweet and damned badass
That's so lovely, like you're fulfilling one another :)
I have Kaladin's brands and the First Ideal in Alethi Women's Script in white ink on me left forearm. I wanted them to look as much like brands as possible and the result is amazing. It looks like a scar, but smooth. I also have the Feruchemical symbol for gold on my ribs as a symbol for health and to commemorate my mom beating breast cancer.
I love listening about people's tattos, and the dragon one is stunning indeed. I have a tatto inspired by the Witcher (the same place and symbol Ciri got in book 4), and a snake which is very vaguely based on the Little Prince. I'm still debating if I should go for the next one - I like the ones I have, and I have an idea for a design, but I also don't feel I need it right now.
When you do the coverups you can initially do a few sessions of laser removal to lighten the really thick dark lines so that the cover tattoo doesn’t have to be over the top with design/colour/size and covers it a little easier!
Love this 😊 I’m creating a entire patchwork sleeve based off different nerdy things. As someone whose had thick line work done it’s not as bad as you think so don’t be nervous. Beautiful collection 😊
Mad respect for anyone who takes art and turns it into more art.
An episode exploring Daniel's body...LETSSSS GOOOOO
for the cover-ups you can look into doing laser removal, you don't need to remove the whole thing (would take multiple sessions and can be $$$) but you can lighten them/break up the thick dark lines a little in 3/4 sessions and that will give you a lot more options for cover ups. You're a good candidate for removal because it is dark ink on light skin which helps the laser track and break up the ink.
I think you tend to regret tattoos less if they were well thought out and remind you of sth you're passionate about or a good memory or sth.
If I ever decide to get a tattoo, I think I might pick the flower the road I grew up at is named after or a sparrow, as that's what my last name means. Both reminds me of a happy childhood and my family. I just haven't found many designs that I liked that much regarding those two
I always love tattoo related videos! Even better if they are books inspired 🤩🤩
I did The Eye of The Crimson King in my left arm when I was 15, my parents only learned about it after it was done. Biggest beating of my life to that point. Im 28 and I still love it, my favorite tattoo.
I have a Ghibli inspired sleeve. I am soooooo happy with it. Tattooes can hmgenuinely make you feel better and tell part of a story. Enjoy the journey
Huh, about a week or so ago I got my first tattoo: the one ring inscription around my forearm. Never really noticed you had it until now.
Neat coincidence
I really like well made tattoos and I highly respect the art. The problem is that tattoos are forever. Yes I know somebody will suggest cover ups, but lets face it at worse you will look like a 90's public school desk covered in marker, at best you will have a new design but limited in so many ways that its basically a distraction from an old bad/outdated design. Im a graphic designer, I have done tattoo designs for people, but I would never be able to choose something for myself. In all those years I saw so many design trends, gone through so many phases that I dont think that I could find a design or a style that I would like on me forever.
What I never understood was the tendency of people to throw tattoos on them on a whim. And what really boggles my mind are the people that will pick a design from those stock albums that every tattoo parlor has. I mean, people are willing to have on them forever what was basically clip-art before the clip art was invented. If you are going to go through with this, at least do something original!
Loving the tattoo tour! The most fun part of videos like these are when you do an updated one later with more tattoos and see how far you've come. I'll save my thoughts on your tatts for my "judging tattoos" video 😂
Im thinking of getting a Hollowknight bench on my arm
Awesome! I’m working on my book sleeve, just little designs or quotes from favorite books. Currently only have a Harry Potter one for getting me into books and a Winnie the Pooh tattoo with a quote from the books. I also have a crocodile Hunter tattoo on a different area since he was an idol of mine growing up. Love that you finally made this video 🙌🏼
I don’t have any tattoos yet, but I’ve recently been playing with the idea of getting some variation of “life before death” from stormlight. Kaladin’s brush with depression and suicidality in the way of kings was insanely resonant with me and his interpretation of life before death is almost EXACTLY the justification I used to dig myself out of a very dark place. When I read that part of the book I just broke down, bc it felt so cathartic to see my experience articulated so well. I’ll always love Kaladin.
I absolutely love the dragon tattoo, it looks amazing and you can see it has such a delicate touch on it.
I plan to get a dragon tattoo myself, but I'm still in the process of thinking what I exactly want and it's been a long process. All I know is that I want it to be wrapped around my arm.
Name the dragon, Daniel!
That one goblin: Loves the SOUND of something
Also that goblin: Get's a silent picture of it on his body
Got my first tattoo this year! It’s a quote from Star Wars
I’ve only got two so far, and only one is sci-fi fantasy so far. It’s a willshaper symbol from stormlight and it’s honestly dope. I plan to get way more things from games like Halo, Dark Souls, and Destiny
It’s not corny to get something from your own book it’s awesome! You should feel proud
I look forward to the day you get a Boblin tattoo
No tattoos yet but I’m planning on getting some as a gift for hitting my weight goal or something similar. Thinking of covering some burn scars with something to do with astronauts
I just got my first tattoo just a few weeks ago and I’m so happy with how it turned out(it’s the silhouettes of the crew from one piece standing on the logo) and I’m definitely looking forward to getting more
Hey! If you’re still in RVA, let me recommend Tanya at River City Tattoo. She’s very good with small, detailed work.
I thought this was going to be a tattoo roast vid. Not disappointed but I think it's an idea for the future, perhaps
I have a lot of loosely fantasy-themed tattoos (a dragon, multiple fairies, a Valkyrie)
I have “Per Aspera/ad Astra” from the Red Rising series under my knees. It’s my favorite series and tattoo
Ooh and I have a couple little studio Ghibli tattoos! No Face from Spirited Away and Gigi from Kiki’s delivery service. I kind of regret these because they aren’t well done, but I still love them
My favorite tattoo of my 4 is my Fantastic Planet tattoo (the same image from the cover art of the movie with Tiwa holding human Terr in her hand). I really want to get a Last Unicorn tattoo next.
How much are we gone bet that Daniel will get "The Brand of Sacrifice" as a tattoo?
I LOVE Berserk. But for the same reason I probably would never recommend it to 90% of the people I know, I wouldn't get a tattoo of it I think. At least not over several other series I love.
😂 I love that you got visual art on your body for something that you love the sound of
This is a real fun episode Daniel, appreciated the little tour of your artwork!!
Your allergic reaction might be to the rutile titanium in the white. I’ve been tattooing over a decade and while it’s not common, i’ve seen it before.
Definitely seek out someone good with cover ups for the A tattoo. Word of mouth is king in tattooing, ask around and be open to travelling for it, you should find someone that can handle that 👍
Thanks for sharing, happy new year!! 🎉❤
What? No! Don't cover up the solar system. That's so cool.
Ah thank you! I've been wondering about your tattoos for ages!!! They are so cool (well most of them at least 😉)
I only have one so far. Harmonium, from Mistborn. I was lucky enough to be in a conversation with Brandon and Isaac (the Dragonsteel art director) and when I asked for recommendations, that's what they suggested. It's extra special to me since I got the idea directly from them, in person.
I got steel and iron from Mistborn. Also Harmonium and Stormlight Archive symbol on my chest. Definitely stealing your LOTR inscription one you have. It looks cool. My favorite one is my ASOIAF one though.
Now I need another tattoo!!
I just ordered your books and I’m sooo excited to read them 😁😁
I plan on getting tattoos of my favorite video games, shows and movies. Kingdom Hearts would be my first tattoo, Kirby would be a close second. I want to also get a Lord of the Rings and Doctor Who tattoo.
You honestly should do a Fantasy/Sci-fi Tattoo roasting! It may seem harsh and brutal, but I think there would be a lot of people who would consent to having their tattoos roasted! I for example have a D&D tattoo that is just 6 dots with two of them filled in to represent the saving throws for a sorcerer (Con & Cha) Its silly and dumb and I love it! I also love the silly comments people have given me on them too!
I've wanted a tattoo for years, can never think of anything. Been trying to think of a Name of The Wind concept (by far my favourite book/series) I just have no idea what direction to go.
I have 2 from the Mortal Instruments, the Voyance rune on the back of my dominant hand as per the lore and the Fearless rune, the 1st rune Clary "created", on my chest. I then have the Yawe from the Inheritance Cycle, meaning friend of the Elves that appeared on Broms ring and that Arya has tattooed, on the back of my shoulder.
Only tattoo i got was the berserk brand on my shoulder, been obsessed with berserk since i first read it 8 years ago so havent regret it yet
Thanks for sharing. I have the oroboros around my arm. Didn't know about it as a symbol until I read wheel of time so that's why I got it. I have other nerdy tattoos as well. I don't have any I'd want to cover up but I wish I could afford to have them fixed. Or to get more. Maybe when in 5-10 years when I'm hitting midlife crisis
Love this! Me and my wife have had the itch to get more and will do very soon. For me , showing of the fantasy stories and games that influenced and shaped my interests expanding into my professional career is a great reason to get one … or many 😊
For what it’s worth, Lord Goblin. I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
I have been wondering what kind of tattoos you’ve had just by noticing throughout your videos, and watching you talk about not only what they mean to you, but what they have had meant to your life was really enjoyable to watch and I just wanted to say thank you.
Happy new year 🥳 look forward all ur videos in 2023!! 🥳🎉🎥📽
Deeply fascinating. Especially the atheist tattoo. It's interesting how something like atheism can represent being a dumb kid to one person, and personal growth to another. My equivalent to you was being a bible bashing zealot who listened to Christian metal when I was seventeen. Basically the same energy, feeling like I knew everything, except I thought that meant I knew there was a god whereas you seemed to have gone in the opposite direction. I was anti tattoo back then, cause of course I was, but I remember I had this idea for a black sheep standing in front of a bloody cross. I remember thinking that's the tattoo I would have gotten if I believed in them. Now after a lot of growing and breaking away from certain ideologies I identify as an atheist. And oh boy, I can only imagine how I'd feel having the tattoo I'd of gotten at seventeen on my body now. I wouldn't get the atheist symbol either- I actually didn't even know there was an atheist symbol- but it's interesting to think something that represents maturing for me basically played the part religion did in my edgy phase for you. The whole video is timely because my wife and I are planning a trip to Seattle and I'm gonna get my first tattoo while there. 🙂
When's the One Piece tattoo?
Also have a LOTR tatto - the first part of Riddle of Strider. I would love to get a Sanderson tatto just need to figure out what.
I currently have 5, getting my 6th one done next month. No fantasy tattoos yet but some ideas also include a Dragon of some kind eventually, and i'm sure I'll get one from a series eventually. But most of all, I wanted something blue, like a few different shades of blue but really strong and striking. So I was thinking what to get then thought of a Unicorn. A Blue Unicorn. Or as I'm gonna call it.......a Blunicorn. It's so dumb that's exactly why I'm doing it, I already love the idea of it and the range of reactions it gets from people when I tell em haha
Can you expand on the one that is a "stolen design"? It seems like several of the tattoos you have are images from copyrighted work (like the wheel of time chapter symbol), which typically qualifies as fair use right? So what makes an image you found online and got as a tattoo stolen when the others are not? I'm genuinely curious what the difference is (as someone who has a portion of a piece of artwork tattooed on me).
I feel like there's a difference between television and book symbols versus drawings and paintings created by an artist. When it comes to copyright and trademarking, both do in fact qualify, but ones considered morally wrong, while the other is (for the most part) accepted. You can't really steal a symbol and take credit for it as your own, especially when its from something like wheel of time or lord of the rings. You are using it as a way to honor where it came from, and show your love for the books. Its a different case with drawings and paintings. Sorry if what I'm saying doesn't make any sense, I'm having trouble conveying my thoughts into words. Do you kinda get the gist of my words?
I got 4 currently. Want a half/full sleeve, but I’m not brave enough. Told my gaming friends that once I 100% all the Assassins Creed games, I’ll probably get the logo tattooed.
Thanks for a fun video! Love your view on tatoos, personally I think even if it's not something you would have chosen today it can be a fun memory or say something about how you were then and that's ok. I have six tattoos, and I just look at them fondly as reminders of who I used to be :) All more or less fantasy related I would say, but not directly connected to a specifik book. I have a fairy, a big old tree, a key, elemental symbols, a moon and a compass. Basically a whole fairytale, could be used as writing exercise, trying to incorporate them all :D
The only tattoo I want is the pulsar map tattoo from the Voyager record (just in CASE I get abducted and need to find my way home), but I'm worried about how it'll age, whether it would look good with my habit of wearing long sleeves, and how much getting stabbed in the forearm would hurt.
It's also the only one I've consistently been positive on for more than a year.
I've got 3 tattoos and would love to get more eventually! My first was the N7 logo from Mass Effect which is my favorite video game series. I remember finishing the first one and immediately starting a new game to experience the story again. My 2nd tattoo is the science badge from Star Trek because I love the original series and I got a BS in Biochemistry. My last tattoo is Amaterasu from the video game Okami which is my 2nd favorite video game. I let the tattoo artist design it how he wanted using things from the game like the ink stokes and sun design. I would love to get some book related ones; maybe one relating to the Tortall universe because Tamora Pierce is one of my favorite authors.
You've no idea how hard I prayed to the Goblin Gods for this video.
Thanks for sharing this very personal part of your life Daniel! I currently have both my hands (not my palms) covered in Moroccan-inspired designs with a small dragon imbedded near my thumb - in henna. Because me scared of dem needles tho!
Based on the way you were talking about it i really thought the atheist tattoo was going to be a Harry Potter one.
I'm really happy I stumbled across your video, because I've been playing around with the idea of getting a tattoo inspired by the LOTR and the Silmarillion, but have been to self conscious to actually believe I'd get it, but now I'm not.
Tattoo artist here. You can absolutely cover big black tattoo with something else. It’s old, It’s faded and there are inka and techniques that will make it even less visible. Find a good cover up guy and let him cook
I have one Luffy Gear 5 tattoo, and one Straw hat Jolly Roger tattoo ♥️
I mean, except the dragon, are any of the designs on your body original? They are all taken from various kinds of media to show your connection to them, a number of different artists created them. What's the difference between those and the flower thing?
You're not selling the design, I don't think you've stolen anything, or if you are it's no less so than all the other "stolen" images.
I know you mentioned how Amazon audible treated the Indy authors how do you feel about Kindle unlimited? I realize they are owned by Amazon too. I do read a lot of books from that subscription a lot. Most of those books on that site I cannot find a digital or fiscal book at my local county library.
but when you getting that strawhat tattoo tho?
I want a wheel of time tattoo but I cannot for the life of me settle on one
I’m trying to get my first tattoo being the brand of sacrifice, I’m just deciding where to get it lol
I've been sitting on 2 tattoos for myself that I plan to get. The first is Ace's tattoo (Luffy's bro) in the exact same spot he has it. My second (though I want this one first) is my first D&D character's jolly roger. It's an orc skull and crossbones with bloody bottom fangs. Not sure about any others yet.
My most recent one was a full sleeve with themes of Princess Mononoke on my right arm but COVID happened so I only have half of it done so far on my forearm. Also the tattoo artist moved away during COVID meaning a future session would be a hassle to schedule and I don't even like the result all that much. I thought about covering it too but not sure it's possible with how much space it takes on my forearm and how dark the half sleeve is. Planning on getting more but a bad experience turned me off for a few years.
Have you ever tried reading star wars books? If not I would recommend the heir to the empire trilogy.
I'm thinking of getting a discworld quote tattoo. I heard people tend to regret quote tattoos so I decided to sit on it for a few years before getting it, just to be sure I won't regret it. Well, it's almost three years and I still really want that damn tattoo so it looks like it passes the test.
I always loved tattoos. My main problem as a huge fantasy nerd I love a lot of things related to the genre so it could be a dangerous path for me to take if I start getting references to all things I like... I still really appreciate the art but honestly I have no tattoos and to be completely honest the main thing that has prevented me from getting them is a random quote from Ozzy Osbourne I heard once saying "to be somebody unique don't have a tattoo cause everybody and their friend has got a tattoo" and it just stuck with me 🤣
Counterpoint: tattoos are art, no one expects to be unique because they have _a_ painting, but they might if they have a Vermeer or something. Or they might ignore the specialness idea because they do truly find their painting beautiful
@@elenafriese891 I agree. I was not trying to make a point. Just sharing a personal annecdote I find funny because Ozzy of all people gave a "advise" regarding tattoos I heard once randomly and took it to heart 🤣
@@TheRASDEL83 oh, fair enough
Yeah that Atheism one a bit embarrassing...but at least you have SOOOO many other cool ones! The Elvish and the Dark speech is alone enough to offset the cringe 😅
Why is it stealing to get someone elses tattoo design but not getting something like an allomancy symbol? Genuinely lost here. They're both not the tattoo artist's IP.
I'm not going to lie. This whole time I thought the Mistborn one was the Quake II symbol.
Getting a tattooed wedding band. Thoughts?
I love tattoo's (my girlfriend has a sleeve tattoo down her left arm) but I can never get one on myself, mainly because I am too fussy, and will most likely get one then instantly regret it and want it removed the day after. My mind is never 100% satisfied. I will have to stick putting ink to paper over skin :P
Im sorry to mention this however you used she for your friend when on their instagram they use they/them. I love your vids tho
i have a bridge four tattoo on my arm, from that one page of words of radiance. stormlight has been my favorite series for a long time so i'd been wanting it for a while. looking at it makes me happy :]
Planning on getting a Guild of Calamitous Intent taboo next.
Trying to think of something from Malazan that'd make for a good tattoo without feeling like it'd pass as stolen valor.
I wonder if you’d be allergic to vegan colored ink too.
I have a LOT of skin sensitivity problems and asked my artist to use vegan ink in hopes that I would be less sensitive to it. It healed very well!! But I don’t have an example of regular ink on my skin as a comparison. The only tattoo I have right now is an old textbook-style anatomical heart.
Getting my berserk brand tattoo in three days!!
This makes me want to get a WOT tattoo. Did they intend
the chapter markers to be such great tattoo design when they made them?
You can still be agnostic and be an atheist though. Like, not believing in any god currently doesn't close you off for any possibility of any kind of deity (unless you are an anti-theist). So, I wouldn't beat myself too much over that tattoo tbh. And, it kind of looks cool imo. We stress over the simplest things sometimes, dw, you are your own worst judge. Nobody else is cringing at you (maybe with you if they feel like they made edgy decisions like that when they were young, but honestly, let that be the "worst mistake" - I don't think it is a mistake necessarily - that you have ever done when you were young). But thanks for being vulnerable.
"Kaylah explains it better than I do."
Then have her guest feature! We like Kaylah!
(Sorry if I'm spelling her name wrong, I'm bad with name spelling).
Lmaooo as an atheist I can confirm that last tattoo was a dumb choice lol
Thought you are rating other people's Fantasy Tattoos
Been waiting for this video for a while!!@!
This is my first video of yours- will someone explain the elf orc for me, please? I do care, I’m just new!!
I am planning to get at least one tattoo (and most likely more), but the one I'm sure I want to have made into my body is related to the fantasy series that made me love reading, which is the Percy Jackson series, I used to read books more as a chore but then I got the Lightning Thief as a 12 yo and read it in three days, a week later I got the next two books on that series and also finished them in two to three days each, so in honor of that series I plan to put in my right forearm a Camp Jupiter tattoo (cuz it's the one thing that I thought really could fit as a tattoo) and personalize it as a child of Hephaestus tattoo (since I'm an engineer or at least studying engineering) and have one line for every year after I became a full fledged engineer (until 10 probably, 'cause I don't want it to be endless and 10 is the longest a demigod in Camp Jupiter had to serve in the 12th legion). I have also had thoughts of getting a Joestar Star from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure on the back of my shoulder, but I have my doubts about that one, I will probably get something of Brandon Sanderson's work, probably the symbol for iron, since it's one of my favorite metals of mistborn, and maybe Bridge 4's symbol somewhere. Lastly, I'm gonna have to think about what exactly to get, but something referencing One Piece I'm pretty sure I want tattooed on my body
I think tattoos are cool…on other people. Can’t imagine something ever being important enough to ink/ritually scar onto my body
my (first, currently only) tattoo was a xmas present from my work. I plan to have 3 more (2 complimentary, 1 from covid - phoenix) . it's a lion rampant. was ok first layer color, & second & even 3rd, somewhere btw 3/4/5 colours over same area - omg - next layers, same place, bit intense...
background: started working for this company in either June or July 1998. I did not meet the CEO/Owner of the company until my first day of work. (2 stage interview - she was on leave for both). my first day of work, having never met the boss/owner I *changed* the VALUES of her company (from passive, eg, 'we will work with' to active/proactive 'we work with...'
words matters. my version, not just "immediately" laminated values from that day, laminated, distributed by reception - 'new values' (usually, as clique as it is now, complete company values/plans, fro reception up - my values, as is - published - not a word, bit of formatting ever changed over next 3 years.
4 month review "you fit so well into company, like you have always been here, only thing you're missing is tattoo'. I laughed, agreed. company was occupational health & safety management systems consultancy. my xmas 1998 present was $100 voucher for a tattoo.
I’ve been planning to get a Dragonmark from the Eberron setting but I can’t choose which one
I got my Steel tattoo because I liked the placement of your Zinc tattoo
