Animorphs Tattoo?
« on: August 21, 2008, 08:38:55 PM »
Hey guys. I'm thinking about getting my very first (and only!) tattoo. I'm not generally a tattoo person, but Animorphs is something that has been in my life since I was ten years old. It has, quite literally, helped to define who I am. I'm not planning on getting anything big or elaborate. It won't be something that anyone would look at and say, "Hey, Animorphs, I remember that!" It's for me and me only, and it would be small and discreet.

What I want to get is Elfangor's dying word <Hope...> across the back of my ankle or the inside of my wrist in a shade of brown (a few shades darker than my skin tone). What do you think? Should I do it? If I do, should I take out the thought-speech marks or leave them in?

If you got an Animorphs tattoo, what would you get?

Heh, that'd be pretty awesome.  Get the logo too though, because "<Hope>" itself is a little vague for representation of the series.  If you could get the logo on the top of the front cover of each book, with perhaps the "<Hope>" just beneath it or something, that'd be a killer tattoo.

Definitely leave in the thought-speach characters.

I would go with that word, and maybe a cool design around it of an andalite's tail whipping up behind the word so all you see is the tail.

Just my thoughts.

I went to the window and looked up at the stars. Somewhere up there, around one of those
cold, twinkling stars, was the Andalite home world. Somewhere up there was . . . hope.

<They'll come,> Tobias said. <The Andalites will come. And until then . . . >

I nodded and wiped away my tears. "Yeah," I said. "Until then, we fight."

If I were to get one though, it would definitely have to be an actual picture of an andalite in the forefront, and a bear, hawk, tiger, wolf, and gorilla in the background behind it, and they'd be in battle positions. I would put it on my back.

I think it would work but remember that if you get a tattoo on your arm it has to be able to be hidden by a short sleeve t-shirt. I think it is awesome though.

That sounds like an awesome idea.

You have to leave the thought speak marks.  That would be enough for an animorphs fan to know it.  Just "hope..." is pretty vague.

And just leave it at that.  Anything more elaborate (logo/andalite/etc) would be too obvious.

Wolfev makes a good point.  Arm might be a bit obtrusive...

That is so awesome!  I definitely think you should leave the thought-speak marks.

If I ever got an Animorphs tattoo, I think it would be the <A> logo, except more ornately decorated.

haha those would be awesome

and the wrist would be a cool place for it, you dont have to worry about hiding it you can just wear a bracelet

that would be cool too claire, those are good cause they arent blatantly animorphs but a fan would spot them

This great evil - where's it come from?
How'd it steal into the world?
What seed, what root did it grow from?
Who's doing this?
Who's killing us, robbing us of life and light, mocking us with the sight of what we mighta known?
Does our ruin benefit the earth, aid the grass to grow and the sun to shine?  Is this darkness in you, too?  Have you passed through this night?

small and discreet

I can't imagine having a "small and discreet" tattoo! lol
So I think I won't a big help ;)
If I made a tattoo, it'd never be a logo or something like that... I wouldn't make a Yeerk, because it isn't really cute ^_^' But a beautiful Andalite, yeah!!! hahahahahha!!
If I hadn't already a dragon as tattoo, maybe I'd make an Andalite at this place... maybe ;)

... Yeah, I know, it isn't "small and discreet" lol

So... what about only the stalk eyes or the tail? lol

I think it's a good idea.  Animorphs fans will know what it is but everyone else will just think it's an inspirational tattoo. 

If I was going to get an Animorphs related tattoo I'd probably get a Red-tailed hawk or something like that.

That is a freaking awesome idea and I'm extremely jealous I didn't think of it! Definitely do it. Just that one phrase, and definitely leave in the thought-speech symbols.

Now that you mention it, I think I will get an animorphs tattoo eventually.  Dunno what though. Either a quote like you said or perhaps an eye that is tiger on the left and human on the right, or something similar.  I'm already planning to get a Harry Potter tattoo; in my handwriting on the back of my right hand in white ink so it looks like a scar, the words "I must not tell lies".

But yeah, get that tattoo, and post some pictures!
