PoE Tattoo Ideas? Help me Ink myself some more.

Hi there Exiles.

I've been a huge fan of PoE since early beta (still have that IRL tabula rasa i haven't socketed anything into yet) and just got back to the game after a long hiatus. I was blown away by the absurd quality of game design in this game now (I work in game design as well, so i spent like 4 hours showing PoE to random people saying OH MY GOD THIS IS SO GOOD NOW)and plan on staying on PoE for a long time and throwing all the money i can at GGG.

So i decided to tattoo something from PoE! Sadly I've been having a hard time deciding what to tattoo, and I'm somewhat inclined to chaos orb myself in hopes of better affixes (I love that supporter keychain from beta). Any suggestions? I'll read every one of your suggestions and consider them.

Tl;DR: Wanna chaos orb myself cause I think i can roll better affixes. If you have another idea, weight in.

This is my best idea so far. Thinking of biceps maybe? or chest? i have one of the right side of my chest and could make this one on the left.

I vote for one of the two best skills in the game. Whirling Blades icon on your leg, dude!

If it was me personally i would probably go for something like Malichi or Kitava because both would probably translate into black and grey quite well imo. But thats the kinda stuff im into when it comes to tattoos too. I think Kitava would make an insane back piece.

Of all the characters ive created over the years in PoE, like 80% of them were cyclone builds.
I Thought of tattoing the cyclone gem, but there has to be a less lame option.

As for the icons, i don't think they look like tattoos. Icons in every game in general are very simple by design, and idk if they would look good as a tattoo.

Kitava and malachai are both very cool looking and recognizable, but i do like color tattoos and i was looking for more symbol-like tattoo I guess. But i'll think about it. If i had the balls id tattoo the entire pantheon on my back like a man but it would take ggg hiring me to do that. :P

For reference, This is how much i like color tattoos:

Doesn't look very manly but i like it :3

Take a close up (Zoom in) screen shot of the cyclone animation on one of your characters... (Take a couple of them actually and pick the best one) Take it to your artist and let them take it from there. You'll be amazed what a good artist can do with something simple like that for them to go off of to make it into something really badass. IF their a good artist anyway. This is also a really good test to see what kinda tattoo work your getting before you invest in something you plan to wear on your body for the rest of your years.

Silouette of your coolest character. Or full picture of it. Maby in 3D. Thats not cheap tho. Any cool looking currency in the game. Rhoa feather. Shaper shooting blackhole frostbolts out of his arse.

Get a new tattoo every few months for the true poe experience. Transplant all the former tattoos to your butt.

But seriously, 3.0 opened my eyes to some of the gorgeous art that secretly been lurking in this rng experience, I imagine there are a lot of oriath imagery in the temple areas that would make fantastic ink.

Yeah your more into color than i am which is fine that actually opens up more options to you in that case. Icons can work and their simple and should be cheap. But the skys the limit if you plan to go color and like i said before they will have to redraw whatever you choose out to make a stencil anyway. Which from there they can make more anything you want out of it. And again this is the perfect test to see if they are good enough for your tastes. They will redraw it as many times as it takes to get it right as well if they are a good artist. I cant stress this enough.. This is again something you will have forever so you should be picky about it.

The currency is my main idea right now. Shaper shooting stuff out of his butt and season-duration tattos that fall to "stantard" with standard being my own butt might be even better.

You dont have to do that actually hell some of the MTX will make it look even more badass unless thats what you aiming for is a stock cyclone image. but yeah get creative with it as well.
