I was thinking about getting {rafiq of the many} on my left shoulder but it would be ÜBER expensive.

I'd never get a tattoo of anything I play, except maybe Halo or Resident Evil but I'd always thought of getting a grey thin hoodie with the black mana symbol on one side of the chest Vampiric Rule on the other and a big black mana symbol on the back

I've been playing for most of my life and every tattoo I've gotten or done on myself has somekind of a story or personal message behind them the mana symbol would just add to my depiction of my own perception on my personality and views

I have a friend of a friend who, when he saw my copy of {Dance of the Dead} immediately asked if he could borrow it to get a full back tat. He didn't even play magic. The tat looked good though.

Me, I'd thought about something like my avatar on my shoulder blade. A gangly jester.

I've seen a guy with a more demonic version on his arm he said it was based off his favorite card looked amazing for the guy just going off his FTV copy of your icon

You guys realize that tattoos have "indestructible" (effects that say "destroy" don't destroy it)? :) Just sayin'...

True, true. But rather than a list of crossed out girlfriend names running down someone's bicep I envision a list of crossed out tcgs, video games, and collectible miniatures. But it IS an easy choice if it's a unwavering part of your identity. After all, didn't' Voltaire say I ink, therefore I am?

Tattoos are not to be taken lightly.  But, if something has been meaningful in your life for years (or decades), and it's a nice looking piece of art, tat-it-up.

I know people that have had tats of spouses that have lasted longer than the marriage. 😣

All I can say is that it's better than some meaningless tribal armband.

Hey I like tribal lol but the again there's a story behind my tribal work it has meaning for me dot care what anyone else thinks and your right about the things in a persons life.
I suggest that to people as there first tattoo always
Costumer " I don't know what to get "
Me " then you don't have to decide now this is a permanent art form and will be there for good. my suggestion is to think about your life and experiences and try to figure something out that represents you the best you think "
And then I explain my tribal/skull work and how each tribal design entwining with eac skull is my representation of my life. Each skull being the hardest times in my life and each tribal design being the paths I've taken to get myself through those times.
My personal reminder of where I've come from and the crap I've had to go through to get to where I am now and the person I am. I don't care if someone likes it or not its not for them it's for me 😚😚😚😚😚

I don't mean to knock tribal in general, only that people shouldnt get tattoos just 'cause it looks cool at the time. It's gotta have long term meaning to you.

The question to ask yourself is "How will I feel about this tattoo when I'm 50?"

I have 11 tattoos and I only regret one. A treble clef that was incidentally my first one. Not that I don't like it (music is a huge part of who I am.) It was just a wall piece that I walked in the shop and said "Yeah I want that one." Would've been cooler if I customized it or something. Ah well.

The only MtG related tattoo I see myself getting in the {B} mana symbol.
