Pay Homage to J.R.R. Tolkien with 40 Lord of the Rings Tattoos

Take a look at the fabulous Lord of the Rings tattoos from talented tattooers around the world

J.R.R. Tolkien is one of the most prolific and influential authors of the 20th century, producing both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy. And despite passing away in 1973, his legacy in fantasy has lived on and will continue to flourish for many decades to come. In honor of Tolkien, we’ve curated 40 of the most stunning and striking tattoos inspired by The Lord of the Rings universe. Take a look at the tattoos in the gallery below and let us know your thoughts on the ink in the comments section.

Que momento incrível. Primeiro lugar na categoria realismo. Foram 13 trabalhos apresentados. Pessoas que admiro estavam lá. E eu pensando , eu não tenho chances. Chamaram o terceiro. Chamaram o segundo e eu pensando ue só falta o primeiro. Será? E foi! Gritei muito, me tremia todo . Pra mim era como estar num lugar inacessível pelo menos agora. 3 anos atrás eu não sabia nem o que era uma máquina de tatuar . Agora aqui estou eu. Não perca as esperanças, não se sinta pequeno. Ser humilde não é correr de desafios grandes . Obrigado a todos que torceram por mim , aos amigos, aos amigos de profissão. Obrigado especial a minha família e equipe que pra mim é tudo a mesma coisa. Obrigado de verdade.

«Фродо повернулся и увидел Бродяжника, но не бродягу. Потрёпанного Следопыта больше не было. В лодке сидел Арагорн, сын Араторна, гордый и прямой, он направлял лодку умелыми ударами вёсел. Его капюшон сполз с головы, и тёмные волосы развевались на ветру, а глаза сияли – король возвращался из изгнания в свои земли. – Не бойтесь! – сказал он. – Давно я мечтал посмотреть на Исильдура и Анариона, моих древних предков. В их тени Элессару Эльфийскому Камню, сыну Араторна из Дома Валандиля, сына Исильдура, наследника Элендиля, ничего не грозит!» ⠀ The Fellowship of the Ring: “The Great River,” p. 409 ⠀ Запись и консультация в директ или по WhatsApp, Telegram: +380966020313 ⠀ #subbotinatattoo #lotr #lotrtattoo #lordoftheringstattoo #lordofthering #татусалонкиев #сделатьтатукиев #татукиев #татумастеркиев #татувкиеве #сделатьтатувкиеве #татуировкивкиеве #татуировкакиев #татуировщиккиев #татуукраина #татустудиякиев #татустудиявкиеве #студиятатукиев #tattoist #tattoo_culture_ua #tattoocultureua #татукиевнедорого #tattooartistkiev #черноетату

Eowyn, Arwen, and Galadriel for Lauren today. Thank you so much for such an epic request, I loooved drawing these badass women! And revisiting the LOTR films after so long…if any of you were to get a fantasy themed tattoo, what would you get? I think I’d be tempted to get a Robin Hobb, or Terry Pratchett one… . . . . . #crucibletattooco #qttr #lotr #lotrtattoo #lordoftherings #lordoftheringstattoo #arwen #eowyn #galadriel #strongwomen #fantasy #blackworksubmission #contemporarytattooing #linework #melbournetattoos #qttr #lineworktattoo #btattooing #blxckink #queer #queerartist #finelinetattoo #finelinetattoos #ssoo #parloiruk
