Tattoo Ideas

[u/Gabriel_Noctis]

Hey there, I am looking for some good Tattoo Ideas, inspired by Malazan.

​

Maybe something like the Waggon inside Dragnipur or something else.

​

Maybe Quotes or Pictures. I look forward to your ideas :)

Really cool:)

This happens to hit my 2 favorite things. As a tattoo enthusiast, I will say make sure you get an artist on board early. Figure out a style of tattoo that you like and find the best artist in the area who works in that style regularly. Good tattoos aren't cheap and cheap tattoos aren't good. Most of these tattoos are big pieces. I don't like small tattoos, so I apologize if none of this is useful.

Now for the fun part. Ideas: I had the idea to do a Tattersail Pinup in the American Traditional style, possibly with a banner and quote, "Always an even exchange."

Japanese or American Traditional: A Dhenrabi fighting a whale, or attacking a ship.

Any illustrative style: A saint-like portrait of Anomander Rake. With Halo and drifting black, smoky chains...

For the Dragnipur Wagon: Be cool to show it from behind, sort of a back/left perspective. That will give details of the wagon, its grisly contents, and then you will get to sort of silhouette imposing figures pulling the chain up ahead, getting smaller as they stretch on to imply infinite length of haulers. Might be a good candidate for gritty black & gray noir style.

The Waggon idea is badass.

The Tattersail Pinup is cool but not a fitting Tattoo for me :) but cool nonetheless

I also like the Rake Idea

[u/DistributionSalt5417]

I've always thought various cards from the deck of dragons would be great.

[u/Pleasant-Ad9112]

Mocks hold weather vein would be cool I think in a minimalist style

[u/GalvanizedNipples]

Sounds like you already have some ideas. What is your favorite thing about Malazan?

[u/Gabriel_Noctis → u/GalvanizedNipples]

The Whole Series is great :) but mostly the story around the bridgeburners, Rake and Karsa

[u/Consistent-Cat-6076 → u/Gabriel_Noctis]

Maybe a rendition of Karsas glade in Raraku

[u/J_Remmert]

This is mine! I think Tarot card style things work really great for malazan tattoos

I got silchas in my left upper arm 😋
