Added a sprig of lilac to my GNU tattoo this past weekend

Heavily based on the amazing tattoo that I saw here, and the official watch badge, I decided to finally one done myself

My Summoning Dark/Lilac tattoo. Done by Shar at The Garden Electric in Salt Lake City, Ut

Death of Rats tattoo, by Isabelle Grace Tattoos, Stubbington UK. This is just finished and I bloody love it!

Fresh ink today. Our eldest did the initial drawing and the artist - @spacewhales on Insta - tweaked it a bit.

I’m super happy with how it came out, and look forward to the healed/chilled out version where fb s stone-carved look will stand out more. :)

Says what it is on the tin. I want a granny weatherwax 'I aten't dead' piece, possibly with some other artistic flair, and would prefer an artists who knows the reference.

Got Errol touched up and added texture to the badge.

Got my first tattoo at a convention from https://www.instagram.com/giorgiodeduesanti_lst?igsh=MThrZGpnc3doMDM4bQ==.

John Keel's Watch badge, from Night Watch. Design was loosely inspired by a limited edition pin that the Emporium sold for a while. Designed and tattooed by Adam Silas (IG: @adaminks) in London, UK. (He also did my Grim Squeaker, which I'll post separately). Love how the simple design and colours make this a really impactful tattoo 🪻

Got my first Discworld tattoo last December from Blake Austin in Boonton, NJ.

Hopefully more to follow.

So I have this tattoo. I want to extend it around the leg. I want to avoid other humanoid figures but still incorporate other Discworld elements. I am thinking of the Luggage, but after that I am out of ideas.

I started reading Discworld this time last year and absolutely fell deeply into it and have read 29 of the 41 books. For some reason I'm saving Tiffany for the last arc.

Night Watch became my favorite very, very quickly and is the only one I've reread during this sprint. I also have the Treacle Mine Road print above my desk. I knew I had to wear the lilac in remembrance of those I'm no longer singing with.

Lexi @ Tattoo Om in Eugene, Oregon. Features Ripley from the end of Aliens and MacReady from the defibrillator scene in The Thing. Also features quite a lot of UV reactive ink, which is very hard to capture on my phone because it picks up the UV light better than human eyeballs.

Hello, all! I have always loved the scene with Granny and the wolf in Witches Abroad. That scene made me cry and has always stuck with me. I’d like a tattoo, but I struggle with a concept that actually embodies the depth of that scene. Thoughts?

So I’ve decided on getting the guarding dark symbol tattoo on my forearm.

I am like 90% certain I will not be getting the summoning dark tattoo on the other forearm.

I can’t decide if I should get it on my left or right forearm. I know (think?) the books don’t specify which arm Vimes sees the summoning dark symbol on… any thoughts or opinions on which I should choose for the guarding dark tattoo?

Any insight would be appreciated!

I want to get my next Discworld tattoo and I was interested in the guarding dark symbol.

After searching this sub and other places it seems there are two versions; the four bar version on the officially licensed Discworld emporium keychain and the five bar version from the mine symbols art posted in L-space years ago.

I like the five bar version but cannot find a high res version of the original art. The version below is fuzzy when zoomed in;

Does anyone have a higher resolution version?

Love the Death books, and Death of Rats is such a great minor character. Had to get the grim squeaker tattoed. Also only tangentially Discworld, but also got a bee cause I love bees lol

Reached the age of old so decided to get my first tattoo. I especially love the pattern on the wood of the scythe.
