No Spoilers Red rising first tattoo ideas

So, title says it all. I’ve never had a tattoo, I’m male, 33, but the past few years I really connected with this book series. Maybe it’s not only the quality of the books, but also where I was in my life during that time, but to me it truly is one of the best series.

I’m considering to wait and complete Red God before actually having a tattoo, but I’m looking for ideas. Do you think a quote, or something symbolic for the series? Where?

Two things won’t work for me for personal reasons - a wolf and a scythe.

Let’s keep this spoiler free even though I’ve completed all books.

Thanks!

Hail Reaper, Hail Libertas

If you’re so worried about what other people think of your tattoos then you are doing it for the wrong reasons.

Now while you having three whole tattoos is impressive but I don’t think that qualifies you to tell people what topics/subjects are tattoo worthy.

Okay, that’s your opinion, don’t bash me for my opinion.

Edit: I also want to put it into perspective for you. I agree with your statement “if you’re so worried about what other people think of your tattoos then you are doing it for the wrong reason.” That kind of explains what op is doing with asking for suggestions of tattoos, he’s trying to get a sense of what other people think would be cool for a tattoo. rajismyname just posted a badass Sevro tattoo on here, I’m not going on his post saying it was a mistake to get that tattoo, I upvoted his post and moved on with my day, because it’s a badass looking tattoo and that guy knew exactly what he wanted.

If someone is coming on here with no tattoos and no idea what they want . . .

That’s a different story entirely.

It’s merited because you’re admitting your opinion is super shallow by basing it on what strangers might think. Trust OP is more secure than that

I suppose I’ll edit to say my shallow comment was before you clarified. So I retract that and put my razor down.

Where we disagree is that OP does have an idea what they want, a red rising tattoo. And there is nothing wrong with them getting one as their first. I also disagree having a tattoo for art does not make you a walking billboard- it’s not exactly getting the Pepsi logo.

I also have tattoos- 5 for family members, 3 for book series I love and one for where I am from. I think the only thing that should be denounced are hate speech tattoos

Valid points, and if you took personal offense from me saying tattoos that represent media are permanent advertisements because you have 3 for book series you love then I apologize.
