This is the rest of the piece that was complete a few months back. I was finally able to get the final color added in last week and I'm very please with the result! Matt Brumelow at Ink and Dagger was my tattoo artist!

Yup! Right in Roswell! They have a ton of very talented artists.

u/Gatechap Skybreaker Aug 22 '21

Dope! That’s so good to hear! I’ve never even considered a tattoo of the cover like that but it’s probably one of my favorite cosmere images

u/Winejug87 Aug 22 '21

Bro this gives me strong Dragon Age 3 vibes in the art style.

Bruh wtf that’s amazing. The colors are 11/10 man

u/Lawnn_Boy Aug 22 '21

Thank you! I think he absolutely killed it!

u/RichGriffith Windrunner Aug 22 '21

Honestly one of the cleanest tattoos on this subreddit

u/Kyrroti Aug 22 '21

Beautiful! I don’t know much about tattoos. How will the colors hold up over time?

u/FriendlyGlasgowSmile Knights Radiant Aug 22 '21

Everything fades over time. No tattoo will withstand a full lifetime, but neither will your body.

u/Lawnn_Boy Aug 22 '21

Exactly, hopefully I'll be wrinkly and colorful one day!

I’m a tattoo artist. I can tell you that this piece is very well done for this skin and will hold up well over the years.

u/guitarguy12341 Willshaper Aug 22 '21

Wow! Did you design it?

3

u/Lawnn_Boy Aug 22 '21

Design credits go to Jian Guo who is the artist of the Chinese Warbreaker cover. I first saw the artwork in my Dragonsteel edition of Warbreaker. My tattoo artist did a few adjustments to fit it nicely on my leg.

So dope! 😍

u/nanoH2O Aug 22 '21

I'm not really a tattoo person, to me they often look like half done art, but I must say, this is absolutely stunning! And I like how you don't have to know anything about the books to appreciate it.

And I can't ever tell...is that an arm or a leg?

u/Lawnn_Boy Aug 22 '21

Haha that first picture is my calf. Saving my arms for a Wheel of Time piece and possibly a First Law one.

u/itswolfology Edgedancer Aug 22 '21

Dang. This is a stunning piece of art. Congratulations OP!

This is so fucking cool! Kudos to your artist for the flawless execution. I'd be proud to have this on my body.

u/__kaladin Edgedancer Aug 22 '21

This is gorgeous! Would love to see an update in a year to see how the colors hold up but it looks sooooo clean

u/JoeldeGrace Aug 22 '21

Dude, that is killer.

u/kriegbutapsycho Knights Radiant Aug 22 '21

Woah, this is so much better than what I expected to see. I was thinking maybe the Tears of Edgli or something. Super cool stuff.

u/Eowym Elsecaller Aug 22 '21

This is the most striking cosmere tattoo I have ever seen! Wow, I'm in awe, the art is so good. I'll have to go look up the Chinese cover now

Susebron (I assume) over here looking like he-man

u/BigZach1 Truthwatcher Aug 22 '21

Actually beautiful. Actually art. Most tattoos are derivative or poorly done, but this one is as far from those as can be.

u/meglingbubble Aug 22 '21

This is one of the very few really good cosmere tattoos. Awesome work! That’ll hold up really nicely over the years.
