Na'vi tattoo

[Puvomun]

So whats with the red flames. I love the tat. I've been trying to decide on what to get.

They remind me of the destruction of Hometree, I know, not one of the most fun parts of the movie, and also the ikran emerging from the flames mean something to me as there is a reference to a very crappy part of my life that I came out of. For me there is a connection between these two things.

Nice, I understand. I'm going through some things my self. Eywa ngahu.

Good luck getting through what is bothering you, and also on deciding what you want to have under ink. Think well, as it is something you will carry with you for a long time.
Eywa ngahu, ma tsmukan

Irayo ma tsmukan. Right now I know I am getting something niNa'vi and some image, I am still really thinking about the Ikran. I have to get it mid-upper back though, my work does not permit visible tattoo's.

Hmm, mine has a meaning for myself too, although mine is perhaps a little more obvious, it's me losing this tawtute skin and showing my real skin, as I woke up, over a  year ago now.

Indeed. I understand the symbolism. I think I would pick the Ikran because it represents so many things. Strength, challenge, skill, elegance, courage, and grace. Most of all, freedom. Wether it be from governments or the shedding of an old life and begging of a new one.

Obvious or not, as long as you get the meaning, that's magic. Be happy, brother! Blue skin rules!

That's awesome, ma tsmuk!

hehe It definitely does! I also second what you said.

I don't know if this fits well into this thread (I guess perhaps just halfway hrh), but I got a tattoo idea by surfing on the net!
I'm confident, since a couple of months now, that I'd really wanna have one word or a few words tattooed in the Tengwar (Elvish) alphabet. I would mainly want the 'text' to represent or refer to my exchange experience of 10 months in Germany, which has been the best time of my life. As I looked for inspiration on Tengwar-translation forums, I've seen that someone had requested Oel ngati kameie to be translated in the Elvish alphabet for a tattoo! And it gave me the idea that I could perhaps integrate Na'vi into my concept as well! By writing a reference to Germany in Na'vi transcribed into Elvish, I would have three of the most important things in my life all in one single tattoo. O': What do you guys think? hehe

[Txura Rolyu]

Its your body. If you think that none of those things are going to change in your mind as something that you dont like anymore then I say go for it.

[Human No More]

Go for it

I'm already thinking about my next tattoo, although it likely won't be for a while (skypeople and their money... such a problem ).

Srane, it does.

I love tattoos (currently have three) and I would love to get a tattoo similar to this but I haven't decided whether or not to get tats on my arms (I hate that visible tattoos/a lot of tattoos make people judge you) but if I were to get something similar, it may be on my thigh or something- now THAT would look cool :]

[Jane MacMillan]

Wow, that looks beautiful. I can't think of a good symbol for an Avatar tattoo for myself, but those stripes sure look tempting. A very clever idea and great execution by your tattoo artist.

People already judge me because I have long hair and like different music to them. Tattoos are just another thing - anyway, one thing I have ALWAYS had as a philosophy in my life is that anyone who decides they don't like me for one of those reasons really isn't worth my time.  haven't met anyone who was actually negative about me simply because I have a visible tattoo, or at least they didn't show if if they did, not that it really bothers me anyway.
Anyway, so far I have still had only positive and neutral reception of my tattoo (neutral being 'what's that tattoo'?)

...now I want to get my other arm done... I need money

[Neyn'ite Te Tsahìk Txeptsyìp'ite]

I definitely agree with that, I'll never waste time on someone who judges me for my lip piercing or my three (soon to be more) tattoos.

Concerning that...maybe I'll open a thread.

[Neyn'ite Te Tsahìk Txeptsyìp'ite]

a thread to see who judges me? 

[Zefanaya]

Yes, what kind of thread.
