Good tattoos aesthetically stand on their own, while also having some level of a shibboleth for people who share an interest with you. Don't get a shitty tattoo of /not all who wander are lost/, get someone with graphic design skills and a knowledge of quenya to make an aesetically pleasing Lamp of the Valar

I know some people have a lot of hate against tattoos, but who the fuck cares. Don't get me wrong, if you get something because you think it will "look cool" or for attention then you're a megafag in my book. But if you genuinely want to get a tattoo of something you like or want to get a memory/thought/feeling preserved as a tattoo then go for it. The only people who are fags in the latter case are the people who say you shouldn't do it because it offends their delicate sensibilities. If you really judge someone based on the fact they put an image/phrase on their skin then you're an idiot.
