Hope it doesn't start to sag or stretch when you get old. That would be ironic and gross.

Didn't the entire film fellowship get one done or something? And no offence tattoos are a big no for me. I always think I'd regret having it done...

I've been a big Tolkien geek since I can remember, even as a little kid I loved it (animated movies).

I don't regret it at all. In fact, I'm already thinking about another one, but not sure what else to get.

I thought about getting the Gondor symbol of the White tree and 7 stars, if I can find a good version of it somewhere. At least I think it was 7 stars, it's been awhile since I looked at it.

But that will be awhile before I get it, as they aren't exactly cheap.

Yes, the entire Fellowship got a tattoo of the number 9 in Sindarin I think.

Except for John Rhys-Davies, if I recall correctly - I think his stunt double doubled for him at the tattoo parlour as well!

Do you mind if I ask what the tattoos were of?
