Worked with a tattoo artist that happened to be a huge fan. I’m gonna give him most of the credit on this. I came with some of the ideas. He definitely brought a lot to bear and add a lot of creativity. Still need shading, but it’s being broken up into two sessions.

I wanted a tattoo that symbolized the power of knowledge, and the balance of mind and heart. What better sword to use than the glamdring? This is also my first tattoo😺

My “LOTR” tattoo

t3_1hzo0yf

For any Silmarillion readers out there. This was a take on Talperion and Laurelin, the gold and silver trees of Valinor.

I didn’t want two separate trees, so I went with this blended concept. Im really happy with the way it turned out!

So I'm looking to get my first tattoo sometime soon and I want it to be somehow related to my favorite quote from the series:

“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door. You step into the Road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off too." 

I absolutely love this quote and the meaning behind it, the only problem is I have no idea how to incorporate that into a tattoo idea. 

any thoughts?

My Own Spin on Saruman and Orthanc 

Thank you all for making my year! Please read <3 

For those that don’t know me I’m a tattoo artist from Southampton, UK @martinmooretattoos on Instagram :) I LOVE Lotr and the rest of Tolkiens Middle Earth.

I posted a few Lotr tattoos I had done in late 2023 and was inundated with praise and support AND most importantly, clients! Meeting other enthusiasts and collectors is such a rewarding experience. One of my clients actually got to show Miranda Otto and Craig Parker the sleeve I did on her (tattoo is the third picture and Miranda Otto is the last!) and showed them my Instagram, and that blows my mind. 

I would LOVE to tattoo more of you and I offer a permanent discount on Lotr tattoos. Please give me a follow on Instagram @martinmooretattoos and DM if you’d like to discuss a tattoo! I’m very keen to do more good guys, Frodo, Sam, Elrond, Galadriel, Boromir etc but still very happy to do more villains! 
Not only limited to the film characters, I’d love to do Turin, Morgoth, Ungoliant, Feanor or any pre-third age characters!
Thank you all for making my year! <3

What I got done so far for a ongoing full leg sleeve.

I don’t know if this is allowed here.

But I’m thinking about a LOTR tattoo. I don’t want it to be too obvious though. The anduril an tree of gondor look very cool, but I don’t think it’s for me. I’m looking more for a tattoo (idea) that symbolizes adventure and the “not all those who wander are lost” spirit. 

I already have an hourglass tattoo with some mountains incorporated into them. So I’m not particularly looking for more mountains 😅

I know it’s not much to go on. But all ideas are welcome 🙏

I made a post a couple weeks asking for advice on some space filler. I ended up going with a moth and some mushrooms. Will further fill in spaces with vines/flowers at a later date. She’s a little crusty today so just ignore that! 🤣🤣

Hey everyone! I wanted to share my back tattoo featuring the legendary battle between Ancalagon the Black and Eärendil during the War of Wrath. For those not super familiar, this was the final and most epic conflict of the First Age, when the Valar, Elves, and Men united to take down Morgoth. Eärendil, flying his ship Vingilot, fought Ancalagon, the greatest of all dragons, in an insane battle that ended with Ancalagon crashing onto Thangorodrim and basically reshaping the land.

I’m absolutely in love with how this tattoo turned out! Massive thanks to Sandra (aka Lady Inspiration) for her incredible work. You can check her out on Instagram: @lady_inspiration.

Let me know what you think! 😊

Ancalagon the Black vs. Eärendil - War of Wrath

Had this finished recently. I'm sure I'm not the first to do something like this, but I am super happy with it. It's the first part of a 2/3 body tat. Next up is a day/night split of the Argonath followed by a Morgoth/Ungoliant left upper arm piece.

Artist: Jordi Pla out of Bethesda, MD. [https://www.instagram.com/jordi\_m4l?utm\_source=ig\_web\_button\_share\_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==](https://www.instagram.com/jordi_m4l?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==)

I cannot speak highly enough about this artist. Absolutely an amazing artist.

Gandalf and the Balrog

First tattoo I got in may. Similar to people but I don’t care I just love LOTR (and this tattoo)

Would love to know what you think of my Gandalf tattoo

First tattoo. 

Jeremy Purcell in Doylestown PA. He is young and had never watched the trilogy and decided to do so while designing. He said he completely stopped working and got hooked on the movies and wants to watch them again. Definitely working with him again in the future. 

It was pure coincidence this was on the opening day of War of the Rohirrim here. I scheduled this well before I knew of the release date. 

I’ve adored LotR since childhood and read and watch the trilogy every year. I’ve wanted this tattoo for years and finally made it happen. So happy with it.

Latest piece

I thought pretty hard about the first one (by Liam Ashurst) on my arm, and then last minute added on Thanwen in Sindarin on my wrist at the same time.

First tattoo(s)

I just did my first lotr tattoo as an apprentice🖤 @Storoien.ink on insta

Thought I’d share my Crown of Gondor I recently got on my thigh 

Hi! I need help, I met Elijah (Frodo) at comic con last year, he drew this tattoo for me, and I want to get it done next week. Now I’m not sure if it is correct, can someone help me? It’s supposed to mean 9. Thank you!
