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!

On my left lower leg, I have one of the earlier emblems Tolkien drew for Idril. It's about 2" in diameter and reminds me of a really lovely compass rose.
On my right lower leg, I have a copy of a sprig of holly Tolkien drew in the Father Christmas book along with "Pio" in Quenya mode tengwar. Holly and name together are about the same size as the Idril emblem.

I have actually been considering getting a Tolkien related tattoo...I have several and thought a LOTR one would be a great addition..I'm not sure what I would get exactly... Something elvish perhaps?... Or maybe the one ring..... too many possibilities. any ideas?
