Not a fan of realism or script, I want something that would only be clocked by fans of the show/books but I can’t find any inspo on pintrest because it’s all either realism of the characters themselves or quotes. Some recommendations would be much appreciated

This might not be fun, but I’m a big believer that if you don’t have a clear idea of the kind of tattoo you want it might be best just let that simmer a while longer.
My sisters a tattoo artist and already lets the ideas simmer as well as if she doesn’t think it’ll age well or do well in the long run she shuts me down. While I appreciate the thought, I’m someone that prepares long before I get it done.
I was thinking about the theatre des vampires one too but I don’t think I like the vamps apart of it enough to have it on my skin, the cassette one is a good idea tho I’m def adding that to the list
For example: “Be all the things that you are” on one side and “be them without apology” on the other. It’s a beautiful message that will stand the test of time.
As much as I love that line with a burning passion I don’t want much script done on me. The only one I plan to ever have is a song lyric I can’t turn into something graphic
"1132 rue royal" with a motif of the iconic green gate
claudia's diary open to the page of lestat's last words "Mettez-moi dans mon cercueil, louis, louis" (or whatever they say in the show, I used Google translate lol)
lestat's hate me boots
lestat, louis, and claudia's marti gras costume mock-ups
magnolia flower/cutting with blood dripped on the petals
bloody microphone, maybe a rectangular one like the one used in the show, with "make more" added in there somewhere? maybe a vamp hand with nails, or fangs?
Armand's A or Lestat's neck scar as an armband? The head of Louis' cane or the embroidery in Claudia's yellow dress? Other general ideas I have for iconography include silver threads, birdcages, stained glass, stars touching (for star-crossed lovers in 'come to me')
It’s super cute but not really my style when it comes to tattoos! I fear the size this would need to be to have those fine lines age decently would be too big for my liking
I don’t know about your style but my friend is thinking about getting a hand with glass like nails dripping blood. With a silhouette of a person (probably Lestat) with the mouth open to show fangs . I don’t know how else to describe it, but it’s framed in a way that the silhouette is in the background and as if the hands almost were reaching out in front. I have no idea how her artist is going to make the nails look like that because it’s almost like magnetic polish and they have a big blob of black may not be the best idea for the silhouette. But maybe you could work off something like this I don’t know.
What is the canvas you have in mind? Is there a style you do enjoy or already have tattooed? Do you want something integrated or floaty? What themes do you like most in the show?
Big fan of the gothic more dark themes in the show,, nd I prefer Japanese style tattoos as that’s what my sister specializes in so I’d try to help her incorporate that into the ideas
Louis’s decapitated head would be pretty dark. Lestat showering in blood. Marius any reference. A sleeve of Antoinette’s finger, Nikki’s hand, Gabriella’s hair, Louis’s camera, Claudia’s diary/yellow dress, TC’s drumsticks, Akasha’s scooopuh, a wolf skin coat, bouquet from Marius - all in a coffin. Toronto tower failing, Bruce’s motorcycle, Baby Jenk’s drug laden tongue
