Tattoo?

[Coyotehowl]

Okay so this may be a little different than most requests. But I'm finally giving in and I plan on getting a Warriors tattoo. I was hoping some of you could help me out (because I have zero artistic ability) and draw some stuff up. I don't even know if I have any requests... That's how open I am to creativity and suggestion. I just want it to connect with the books in some way.

Please please please help me out guys! I'm really excited, I'm just drawing a huge blank and Google is zero help in the situation. Chances are, I'll love anything you throw my way.

Also, hello! Long time no see, VWW. I hope everyone is well. And I apologize for the poor formatting of this post, but I'm on mobile and I'm lazy .

I would really suggest steering clear of getting fandom tattoos as you can grow out of them very quickly, so being able to relate it to something else as well may be a good option for you.

That being said, I think that if you had a really good tattoo artist, you could get a ghostly cat tattoo (with whisps and things) and relate it to StarClan. Depending on your favorite character, you could get the color they are associated with as a sort of outline/ghostliness quality. Ravenpaw? Black. Firestar? Red/orange. Greystripe? Grey.

A ghostly cat can be a universal thing and wouldn't be an embarrassment if you end up not caring so much about the Warrior's fandom down the line.

I don't have drawing capabilities, but if you needed a suggestion, there it is.

I'd be very careful. I mean I'd be a bit of a hypocrite to say you shouldn't get a fandom tattoo, considering I have Steven Universe tattoo, and one from Noragami. But I steered clear of getting direct things from those fandoms and made them pretty basic. Also those series have been inspirations for me aspiring to get a bachelor in animation. But I'd definitely make sure it's what you really want. I myself have five tattoos, going on six. Tattoos are a great way to express yourself and show off things that mean something to you. But there should always be some precaution and some thinking to make sure you'll grow up to be happy with them and not go 'dang I wish I hadn't of gotten that'. I'm not trying to be negative, I love hearing people enthusiastic about tattoos! But warriors is definitely something to be a bit wary of for tattoo ideas. You'd want to definitely get something either indirect, or just .. try and avoid getting like a giant cat on you.

My suggestion would be getting an outline of a cat and maybe under get a passage from the book you like? Something meaningful? Or, I believe Darkstar's idea can definitely be worked with. I just want to caution you, tattoos require lots of pondering because you definitely want to make sure you'll like it down the line because fandoms, people tend to grow out of them eventually.

Redstorm had died long ago, but he had always kept an eye on his children, even in the OOC lands of the General Board. What good father wouldn't make sure his children made smart and healthy decisions, even in the land of humans and the English language? On this day he saw his eldest son, Coyotehowl, was asking to get a...tattoo. An skin drawing, Redstorm believed is what the cats called them, of...Warriors? Redstorm's human form (which he used in the Human's General Board to fit in) tensed and he shook his head.


T'was the night before Monday, and all through the house

not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse

The suggests were hung by the Coyote with Care

in hopes St. Howl would soon not dare


The child was nestled all snug in his tat

while visions of ink pens danced through his head

And Darkstar in her 'kerchief and I in my cap

had just rattled our brains for a long Winter's rap

When out of the thread there arose such a clatter

I sprang from my den to see what was the matter

Away to the entrance I flew like a flash

tore open the ivy which was oh very icy

the moon on the breast of the new fallen snow

gave the lustre of bad choices to the other posts below

And suddenly Redstorm realized that 'Twas the Night Before Christmas was far too long and difficult to recreate for a witty reply, and so he got to his keyboard to type some advice. He shook his head and smacked his face with his paw-pad. Coyotehowl, why, why must you force me to do this? Why must you force me to write such a bad excuse of a post just to try and tell you that getting a tattoo of Warrior Cats is not the best idea and that you should wait until you're older and more in tune with your fandoms before getting a tattoo that is more or less permanent and may come with giant regrets later in life?

FIN.

I for one believe you should get a tattoo of Zach's beautiful parody above me :3
No, no, I am kidding.

Pretty much the same as the others. I'm currently considering my first tattoo as well, and like most people, I want to get a tattoo that will mean something to me. I don't think there's anything wrong with getting a Warrior's tattoo, since you can say 'lol look it's a cat' if you suddenly decide you're over Warriors and don't want 'FlamingNinjaStar' tattooed on your forearm anymore.
You can't really go wrong with a cat tattoo. But I really like Darkstar's ghost idea, or even a cat constellation (don't know if that's a thing but you can always get one made).

I already have a full sleeve actually! So I'm no stranger to the permanence of a tattoo, fandom or not. Although I've loved warriors since I was about 8, Darkstar you have a great point and an even better idea to go along with it. Thank you! I'm no artist either, that's why I'm here. But my artist is phenomenal. He did my entire sleeve and I'm absolutely in love. I might just run that idea by him, but please if anyone has any more keep them coming!
