tolkien tattoo?

So, I think I want this.
tattooed maybe on my wrist.

Didn't Tolkien draw it / wasn't it on the cover of the first edition "The Hobbit"?

Hmm... I've Always thought that the coolest Tolkien Tattoo would be either an arm band with the one ring inscription around my bicep, or the white tree of Gondor covering my back. But now that you mention it, old school Smaug would look good around one's wrist. Although, I am wondering, are you planning on getting it tattooed around your wrist, or up and down across your fore arm?

I would think carefully about getting a tattoo before I actually get one. While you may like the tatoo now, your opinion may change in 15-20 years.

If you really want a tatoo, maybe you should try a henna (sp?) tatoo. they are not permanent, yet can last for many weeks.

Cool design of Smaug.

I don't know about a tatoo (on me), but that would make an awesome embroidering on a shirt.

I'm not for sure going to get it, i'm just considering it. I've wanted it for around 3 or 4 years now. I'm not really all that in to tolkien anymore but I still want it for some reason, out of respect or something. I guess that's good, atleast I know it's not as likely just a phase?

I was either going to get it around my wrist or just on the underside, although it would have to be rather small that way.

Sminty your wrists are too skinny for that. Get one of gollum skulking around on your forehead.
