Derek's Tattoos

[Elessar]

It occurred to me while talking to Bella a little while ago that most people on TOR have not seen many, or any, of my tattoos. I decided this was a damn shame, since my tattoo artist does such a fantastic job on my tattoos. Soooo I decided to post them all for you! I'll be getting my Twelfth Tattoo on May 8, and it will finish off my Narnia tattoos/ Narnia half-sleeve. So, without further ado... my tattoos!

May I just say... I Love the ROhan flag!!!!

[Elessar]

Me too~~
It was my first ever tattoo, and still my favourite.
If I had to get rid of all but one, that'd be the one I'd keep.
(Plus, it has the most overall meaning.)

. It's my favorite of all of them . I'm too much of a wimp to get a tattoo but if I did. It'd be that or gondor's white tree

[Elessar]

I've seen a number of pictures online of the Tree of Gondor, but I've never seen any other pictures of the Flag of Rohan for some odd reason. I did consider, for a bit, getting the Tree of Gondor, but decided against it, instead opting for "not all those who wander are lost," which holds a bit more meaning to me personally. However, tattoos really aren't that bad. I don't think you're too much of a wimp to get one. <3

maybe eventually <3. Gotta wait to see what my body's like after the full effect of the surgery.
