You're as young as you feel Sulriel  And for some reason I find the Earendil emblem/symbol extremely fitting for you.

Hi NightMaiden! Welcome to OSA. I'm glad you like the stories here. There are alot of the great authors on this site.
It's cool you have the white tree. Did you have it done in black ink? I have an elven tattoo as well. Actually I have a cat tattoo (my nickname has been Kat for as long as I can remember) and below it is Elvish writing. It's a dedication to my father who died in 1999 and his ashes were scattered at sea. It says 'My Heart is With the Sea'. I wanted something unique and special but I didn't want it to be obvious to the world what it said so I chose elvish. The pain is pretty bad. Mine is on my ankle and even though everyone tells me NOW that's the worst place, no one bothered to mention it BEFORE I got the tattoo. When they were doing it, I felt sick and hot and almost passed out.  I told the guy if I did to keep going no matter what. hehe Next time I get a tattoo (yes, they are addictive) I am getting it some place with a little more fat. It should be easy to find a place to put it then.

Hi Alassante!
I saw a girl in the mall who had elvish written on her neck. I hear that's a painful place too. Mine is done in black ink and its on my lower back. I won't say it didn't hurt, but I just kinda became numb after a while. I, too, have a small outline of a kitty on my left hip bone. I like kitties 
I believe the least painful places are your arm, lower back, hip area...
What do you plan to get next? I've always wanted to put the script of the ring around the tree...I just gotta find the script in a circle so my artist can draw it out. |

What they told me is that the fleshy parts were not so bad, that the closer the bone was to the skin, it was more painful and I found that to be true. Mine is over my left breast, centered between there and my cleveage - sorta 'over my heart', and the pain was much sharper closer to my breastbone and not so bad where it goes down over my breast.
I can't say if I'll ever get another one or not, but I doubt I'd get it on my ankle or over my backbone. - biceps or thigh maybe

Gee, haven't had this conversation before. But just in case anyone was in a coma...

However, I've noticed, especially lately, that mostly the same half-dozen fics get recommended over and over. These are often really good fics and deserve the notoriety, but I've been wondering if all the writers who haven't penned those half-dozen aren't feeling a little ... left out.
So, is fic-pimping on an unrelated thread a good thing or a self-confidence buster? Or do people whose fics aren't rec'd a lot just not reading in the forum anyway? |
And this is two of many, just go to the search page and enter recommend.
And by all means, add your favorites.
fic recommendations
and more recs

well, that's what i get for showing up late to the thread. greetings, fellow woman of gondor and tattoo buddy. ::bows:: you may see a tiny rendering of my own tree over there on the left. yep. real tiny there in the avatar. funny, just today i was thinking about getting the stars added on, but i don't know if i could track down the same artist to do it.
for the record on the tattoo pain discussion, i found this one to be more painful than my previous two, but not really too bad. of course my sense of pain may have been eclipsed by the prolonged time spent on it and the fact that my blood sugar dropped very suddenly halfway through... pain or not, always make sure you're properly rested and fed before getting inked. |

Hi Vladashael, I noticed your icon right away - you changed it from the Nazgul horse
I wondered if that was your back, but the photo has a surrealistic quality (!) and I wasn't sure it was real. Is that a lucky shot or do you have a pro photographer in the family?

I think that's really nice Alassante
- not in the same league with honoring your father, but I've named the horses born here either after an LotR character or in Quenya. It's a lot of fun because keeps the spririt alive in my daily life. Many times someone will recognize a name and it's always fun to talk about Tolkien.

yeah, i remember you liked the horse, so i felt a bit bad changing it. but if ever my tattoo had to show up anywhere, it's here.
i'm the closest thing in my house to a pro photographer (i have b.a. in photography, sold a few prints and had a couple wedding jobs). that shot was one of the few usable ones of many taken by my ever-suffering boyfriend, under my very picky direction. the surrealism probably comes from tricky lighting - my camera wanted to flash, but i made it stop, and because i was indoors but near a window, it didn't know which lighting to adjust for. also there's a bit of extra texture - i had to have all the muscles in my back flexed in an odd position to keep the design from stretching oddly when it was forced into the 2-d format.
but i digress.  frequently. back to middle earth. |

The world happens to spin around me currently... Does that count?
It's just that you can't influence human behaviour so simply, folks are proud of what they work so hard on and it's a certain button I guess. I never SSP my own things, neither do I expect to be pimped around either.

Yes, I think the very smooth back and the dramatic lighting is what creates the awesome effect.
