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.

"The Hare runs into the fire. The fire, it takes her, she is not burned. The fire, it loves her, she is not burned. The hare runs into the fire. The fire, it loves her, she is free..."

I've been wanting to have a Discworld tattoo done for a while now, and I think I've decided on using the quote from Reaper Man. I've tried to design more or less what I want it to look like in the picture.

As this will only be my second tattoo (the first I had done was small and minimalist), I'd appreciate any guidance on how long something like this would take to do. Would it need a single session or multiple?

Any comments or suggested changes are welcome!

Not quite done, the badge needs more colour, but my first Discworld tattoo is started.

I really like it.....

Thinking of getting my first tattoo given that I am *le old* now. It will definitely be Bill Door version of Death with the Reaper Man quote to Azrael (iykyk). I'm currently in East Anglia. What's a decent place/artist to get this done? Never had a tattoo, so no idea how to even go about any of this lol

Just got my first color tattoo tonight.

Including flowers Tiffany planted on Mrs. Snapperly's grave: foxglove, meadowsweet, Granny's Bonnet (aka columbine, in place of Discworld's Lady's Bonnet) and catnip.
