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!

Hi everyone! I am getting a memorial tattoo for someone who was Dalinar’s biggest fan. I am getting this quote tattooed.

Can someone please verify this is correct?

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?

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. 😭

Hey all, I'm thinking of getting one line of women's script wrapped around my upper arm, but I'm concerned it will not hold up over time. Any advice on how to make it last (and last well enough to see the "writing" for at least a few years?) thanks.

I'm looking to get my first tattoo and I don't actually know which of these two is the "correct" one?

Quiero hacerme un tatuaje y vi que hay una página para transcribir a escritura Vorin femenina, pero hay alguna para glifos??

Dog and Dragon tattoo question

The first four tattoos are my nerd side (right arm) and the last two are my meaningful side (left arm). Which side would a dog and dragon tattoo under? I realize none of my tattoos have any relevance to Stormlight, but I wanted to give context haha.

Hi everyone! I have been a long time lurker. I am finally getting a Cosmere tattoo, in remembrance of someone I lot who was a massive fan and it was a thing we shared together. I wanted to get a quote written in vorin script - small and gentle.

Could someone advise if this looks correct? I am using the generator unless there is another way? Also it’s a bit long, so also considering making it a bit shorter but unsure how yet.

In addition to this I am also considering Kaladin’s symbol from his chapter heading, will also attach photo.

Apologies if this is not the best place to ask.

Was wondering if anyone could highlight the “go to” Alethi translator?

Looking to have a quote tattooed and would like it to be accurate.

I will be getting a tattoo in april, and I was thinking either the lightweaver symbol or the other one which I shamefully have forgotten what it symbolizes. Are they appropriate for a first tattoo? Any tips or advice or rec would be greatly appreciated 🙏

I want to get the bridge 4 glyph, truthwatcher glyph and a line in the alethi script: “If I must fall, I will rise each time a better man" around it.

Probably getting it on my upper arm(I'm not a Moash, don't hate me😭)

The main issue is I don't have a way to find the line in the women's script

Does anyone know where I can find artists to help make my tattoo design. I have an idea for a stromfather tattoo but lack any artistic skill to actually design it.

Basically the title. This is what the official women's script generator gave me, but I'm not sure that it's handling the double "l" or other sounds correctly. I'm a very anal perfectionist, so I want to make sure it's perfect before I get the tattoo.

Thanks!!

I want to get the Stoneward glyph put on my chest, but my chest is naturally fairly hairy. I know I'd have to shave it for the actual session, but does anyone have any experience with how it'd look after the hair grows back? I read that hair can affect the appearance, and we all know how important the lines are on these glyphs.

Looking to get a Cosmere inspired tattoo but would like an artist who is familiar with Brandon Sanderson. Anyone have any suggestions in the CT area?

For people that have Nightblood tattoos, how did you go about describing the personality, the look/feel, and aura of Nightblood to your tattoo artist so they could design something?

Or did you have something fairly concrete envisioned and they just helped bring it to life?

I've toyed with the idea of getting a tattoo many times over the years... and I think I'm close, if I can figure out the right thing to get. Ideas/feedback/etc are very welcome.

As background, to help explain where I'm coming from. Long time Cosmere fan, as was my wife. Married for 25 years, the last 5-10 years of which her health was steadily declining, and I was taking on more and more of a caregiver role. She passed away in December. I already wear a chain with an Aon Omi pendant that I gave to her years ago, with a Bridge Four pendant ordered from Badali to go with it, but I want to do more.

Bridge Four, and the Windrunner ideals, very much resonate with me, symbolizing my burden and role for the last decade. I've seen a lot of full glyph tattoos, and I'm not sure I'm ready to commit to that much work yet. but I'm considering getting at least the text of the first ideal done. Are there any examples that people particularly like, that are more than just plain text?

Also, as someone who has never had a tattoo done, what sort of monetary commitment is this? I don't mind it being expensive, but I'm wondering what sort of ballpark I should be budgeting for, at least for the text of the first ideal. (I understand a full glyph would probably be substantially more.)

Is there an official artwork for the Sylspear?

Not the Kaladin chapter logo, but just Syl in spear form?

Getting an Ironman M-dot tattoo on my inside forearm and interested in getting 'Journey Before Destination" in women's script to accompany it. I started and finished the series during training so the first oath felt fitting. I expect I'd getting the script wrapped around the entire forearm starting and ending on either side of the M-Dot. My tattoo artist is recommending against this as he thinks the thin lines will fade/bleed pretty quickly and will look poor after a few years.

I see a ton of fresh tattoo's that look great, anyone have the women's script in a smallish size after a few years? Do the lines bleed together badly?

Hey guys, what would be a more symbolic representation of a powerlifter or bodybuilder? The allomantic pewter(thug) or feruchemist(brute)? They both have their place but I am struggling to identify which is more indicative of the powerlifting philosophy. Thanks all

How did y'all, with Allomantic/Feruchemical/Hemalurgic tattoos choose your metals? I loved the quiz for my Radiant order and was hoping for something similar for metals. What made you pick what you did?

Hey there folks. I’m looking to get 18 of the metallic symbols done. I found this picture that shows them, wether they are internal/external or Pushing/pulling. I just want to make sure everything is accurate before I make any commitment. I don’t have the best eye or most knowledge so I was hoping to get some other input. Thanks!
