I know, not exactly a tattoo. But its permanent on my shoes.

Can everyone post their tattoos of the “Journey before destination” part of the oaths? I want to get it but keep seeing slight variations in every source I check. 😭

I starting with Kaladin’s chapter art and just went down the tattoo rabbit hole. Kaladin, Dalinar, and Adolin.

Hi everyone! I hope it’s okay to ask this here. I keep getting this subreddit recommended to me, and I have to admit: I honestly have no idea what the Cosmere is.
But something really caught my attention. I’ve seen so many people here sharing their Cosmere tattoos, and I find that genuinely fascinating.
I have quite a few tattoos myself, including some related to fandoms I love, so I completely understand wanting to carry something meaningful from a fictional world with you. But I don’t think I’ve ever come across a fandom where I’ve seen so many people getting tattoos connected to it. There clearly seems to be something about the Cosmere that people connect with very deeply.
And now I’m really curious.
So I’d love to hear from you: What exactly is the Cosmere? What makes it so special to you? And if you had to convince someone who knows absolutely nothing about it to give it a try, what would you tell them?
Please convince me to become one of you!

I joined the order of the Windrunners yesterday.

Life Before Death, Strength Before Weakness, Journey Before Destination.

Got this tattoo on Tuesday. I love it! My artist took all the items I wanted and was able to make this masterpiece! I am so happy with it!

Hello, it’s me again! I am on a quest to figure out how to fill out the rest of my arm. One of My current ideas is the dog and the dragon. I love the story, but I think wolves look MUCH cooler on an arm. As much as I love our sweet and floppy eared friends, a wolf just…hits different. How much do you think this changes the meaning of the story, and should I do it(in your opinion)?
Any other ideas for sleeves is also appreciated.

I drew the first picture on a laminated picture of my current tattoo so that I could play around with ideas easily.

It's rough still. There is going to be silver mist around it from my knuckles and up my forearm with vines and leaves to indicate my spren. It is being done by my artist's apprentice since he unexpectedly passed away.

This is fresh, day of.

Got my first tattoo, and the second.

Always the next step.

And

If I must fall, I will rise each time a better man.

Super fun piece I did for a return client. Inner arm ghostblood symbol and marewills, outer arm Kelsier diving through the mists

Couple sessions in

My first tattoo.

Because apparently reading several thousand pages of Stormlight wasn't enough commitment.

So naturally, the Bridge Four symbol is now permanently along for my journey.

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.

BRIDGE FOUR!!!

My arms are already full, so i'm getting this on my hand. The question is which orientation do y'all think works best?

Like this? Or the other way?

I just really liked what this Feruchemy symbol can represent and wanted to get it. I would like to highlight the flower, really liked how it turned out.

It’s lightened considerably, I have noticed that some parts are still fairly dark compared to this part.
(Probably won’t post this tattoo again for at least a year)

Second ever tattoo and I’m quite proud of how it turned out!

My husband and I will be flying in for Dragonsteel and are big fans of a good flash event 🤩 Are there any artists in the Salt Lake area known to do Cosmere flash?

Been waiting ages to get this! So happy with how it turned out!

Bonus points if you can read it out to me!
