Cool mtg tatto ideas

General forum

Posted on March 26, 2013, 8:12 a.m. by Demarge

Due to boredom I have decided to try out a brainstorm session where we think up some cool mtg related tattoo's. Who's with me?

I'll start with a full chest tattoo (or back tattoo) of the phyrexian symbol, possibly made to look like it was branded there.

I imagine any of the ravnica guild symbols could also make good tattoos.

Well first take a look at what formats you enjoy the most, and the decks/cards that you love playing. A couple ideas I would consider; Polymorph , Brainstorm (non Izzet/Golgari one), Emrakul, the Aeons Torn , Lightning Bolt , old Kird Ape , maybe a Set Symbol that you enjoyed (well I guess you did mention the Phyrexian symbol, haha), Jace, the Mind Sculptor , Black Lotus , Knight of the Reliquary , AEther Vial , idk.

I was actually thinking about getting one myself, but judging how I only jumped in at Avacyn Restored, I feel like it might be best for me to wait :P maybe until I'm around that 1-year mark

I want a large tatoo on my back with the five original mono colored planewalkers. One of each of my four brothers and then myself. Funnily enough, we each have a favorite magic color, so it works out in that sense aswell

The 5 mana symbols could be pretty cool, set symbol would be nice (Sword of Kaldra for Mirrodin for me) Nicol Bolas (From the Vault version,) a Leonin, the artwork of any card you really liked. I am thinking of some alternate art for the original Fifth Dawn Door to Nothingness Fav flavor text?

A friend of mine has the phyrexian symbol on his forearm and it is really badass. Jace, the Mind Sculpture would make an insane full back tatoo.

A tattoo of a necklace, with charms on it, have each charm be one of the 5 mox cards with your favorite one in the middle. So for me it would be Mox Sapphire

I'd say the guild symbols would make good tattoo. Now what be really badass is a Nicol Bolas tattoo on someone's back.

Combining magic with some old school tattoo style would be pretty awesome. Like Elspeth or Lilana as the lady of Guatilupe.

I know someone who has some flavor text on his back. Which flavor text, I don't remember. But it is flavor text.

When I was in college, I sat next to a fellow in a class once, and somehow it wound up being mentioned betwixt us that I played Magic. His eyes lit up in a way that prompted me to inquire if such an interest in the game was mutual, and rather than responding verbally, he pulled up his sleeve to reveal the five mana symbols inked across the entirety of his forearm.

Suffice to say, I knew right then and there that this guy was a little bit too interested in the game for my taste, and I began to act like I was only just learning to play and didn't really like it all that much.

@SwiftDeath, I'd Tap that. ; )

OT: I'd also say any of the guild symbols probably. Cryptic enough that it isn't a brand name but recognizable enough to anyone who's 'in' on it. Great way to know who your MTG brothers are w/o having to explain it every five minutes to 'outsiders'..

I like the five colors idea. Also, I'm a fan of the RTR Gruul Symbol too.
