I"m contemplating getting a half or quarter sleeve tattoo with scenes from The Dark Tower throughout it. Any ideas of what would look cool? There are so many powerful images to choose from, I don't know if I want one or a menagerie,lol. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!

My first tattoo was a King inspiration, although not from Dark Tower. It was of the two headed parrot from Eyes of the Dragon. I got the tat back in 2001-still my favorite and definitely don't regret it.

For something simple, the ka simble is lovely. I also like the unfound door symbols.

I think a half sleeve would be BAMF (Bad A$$ MoFo) I would like to see an imafe of the Ka-tet of ninety and nine standing in a line and looking at the emerald castle from Oz. Wouldn't need to see thier faces, just figures standing and the shoes, but the 5 of them looking out at the scene would be pretty awesome.

I was really considering a half sleeve of Insomnia, maybe a person with an aura floating above his head and the Accidental bald head scientist snipping away at it.
Does that sound interesting or like a good concept or something of a lost cause? haha.

I like this idea because some ppl will recognize it and you know you have common ground and those who don't know what it is can't pretend to know (and if they do pretend, you know they are full of it)
I favor the ka symbol because I see it as timeless and the meaning wouldn't get ever get old

My idea (please don't steal it) is to have burnt and torn parchment, with the opening lines of The Gunslinger. "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed".
For anyone that has read the series, you know why this line is so damn important.

My first tattoo, actually two at the same time was I got the Unfound symbil on the inside of my right wrist, and I got the Eye of the Crimson King on the inside of my left forearm. I definitely plan on getting a bigger one, like a half sleeve. I am thinking the alternate ending painting showing the Dark Tower and Roland walking towards it.

I like the one where Roland is sitting on the beach, but instead of the tower with all the other towers coming out of it, it should be the tower from the pictures in The Dark Tower VII

Tower in the background, Roland in foreground with revolver out-lots and lots of roses, and a Tasmainian Devil!:biggrin2:

A red rose, unfound door symbol (I'm getting it), the tower, the all seeing eye, all serve the beams. Notice it's all about the Dark Tower, I can't really think of anything for any other book...

Well, I was going to say don't get one because you'll regret it in later life but this one is just amazing! :smile2: :wow: Is this in relation to The Dark Tower books because I've just started the first one and I don't recognise this symbol but it is fantastic anyway! :biggrin2:

I love the turtle, and I would put in somewhere " Bango Skank was here"

Maybe the revolvers crossed with the rose laid on top. Really detail the sandlewood grips. Think that would look awesome. Might get it myself now that I think about it.:eyebrow:

I have the unfound and Ka simbols on my back...
Maybe I'll turn the "unfound" into "found" when I think I'm more... well, let's say 'complete'.
I posted a picture here, but I don't know what happened to it, it just disappeared...

The basic one I want is SSDD from DreamCatcher. I do love the idea of there are other worlds than these, just need to find out placement, size, text, etc.

I think it posted in a weird place but the 2 tattoos I know I want is SSDD (dreamcatcher) and then the number 19 (Dark Tower)

I would like to have the design that was on the website a while back, a bucka wheel with KA IS A WHEEL inside it. Does anyone have that picture?

Get a big "M" tattooed on each of you butt cheeks. Then when you bend over it will say "MOM" and if you pull your legs back it will say "WOW".

I think if I ever got a SK tattoo it would be his face with little pieces from novels I really appreciated of his on my horror film leg (talk about a run on sentence..). I also agree with Cthulhu on the Mom and Wow tattoo. Hahaha. OR! you know the monkey tattoo on belly button thing? Instead have a character from one of kings stuff. haha.

I was actually thinking about this yesterday (a SK tattoo). My idea was that IF, which is closer to never, but IF I ever received an autograph from him I'd like to have it turned into a tattoo. I would never use just a copy of it though, it would have to be the real thing to me, that way I could have the entire inscription tatted on in his handwriting.

I've actually seen this...it was a full tattered page though, the words were at the bottom with the picture of Roland in the desert and far off in the distance the man in black...done like a pencil sketch, it was pretty awesome.
