Popular Post kalamitous_emoashions Posted September 10, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Hi All - I have been around for a fair while but never particularly active. I just like to see all the amazing theories. Thought you might like to see my Stormlight tattoo though - I got a stylised version of the Kholin house shield. We flipped the positions of the glyphs, because the crown fits the space better at the top - and also went for a more photorealistic crown, because as a tattoo the glyph crown was hard to make work in the space and also looked a tad strange compared to the gate to have walking around in public all the time. But I know what it means and represents, and have had a couple of people ask me if it is based on the Kholin shield over the past year which is cool. I got this specifically as I lost a lot of weight a couple of years ago, and the quote that was consistently in my mind, and helped me the most was: The most important step a man can take. It's not the first one, is it? It's the next one. Always the next step, Dalinar. So it's both a reminder of the quote, and based on my love of all things fantasy, especially Brandon Sanderson. It's on my inside forearm for reference. Hope you like it! 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalamitous_emoashions Posted September 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 Thanks all! Good to be here and plan to get a bit more active. Now for the real question though - what Cosmere based tattoo should I get next? Any recommendations? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalamitous_emoashions Posted September 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 @Thaidakar the Ghostblood While the symbol is excellent, I will probably want to wait and find out exactly what the Ghostbloods motives and actions are in the cosmere before I get it permanently inked on me. Worst case scenario it might be kind of hard to explain why I have the symbol of a genocidal organisation led by a murderous rogue who have committed untold atrocities across multiple planets. 'I like the symbol' doesn't quite cut the mustard for an explanation 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollow Graves Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 That is so cool. There are thousands of different ideas for new ones. I do not now what to say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shard of Reading Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 I've seen a number of stormlight tattoos online, but this one is by far my faviorite. As for the next tattoo you should get, I'd say maybe an allomatic symbol or something, because you already have a stormlight tattoo, and a mistborn one would help even it out. (Then get an Aon and a rithmatic circle. ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalamitous_emoashions Posted September 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 @Shard of Reading - If I was going to get a Mistborn tattoo I would probably do something slightly more abstract - for instance, I have been thinking about having the metal symbols styalised into the shape of a spear. So that the symbols, each on their own, make up the shape of the spear itself. I think that would look great on the inside of the arm or up the centre of the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That definitely sounds a lot cooler than just a boring ol' atium symbol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
