135 Lord of the Rings Tattoo Ideas To Rule Over Them All
Drawn and inked by master artists, Lord of the Rings tattoo ideas try to capture the fantasy world in the best way possible. From certain LOTR quotes to specific locations, these tattoos are always a fantastic sight, not only for Lord of the Rings fans. Also, these tattoos aren’t stuck on the movies alone. Lord of the Rings tattoos capture the characters and locations from the books, movies, and series. The only limit is your creativity… or the tattoo artist's.
As with all fantasy tattoo ideas, you can go as big or as small as you want. If you are one of the more daring ones, go for an armband tattoo of your favorite character. The choice is large. You can go for Gandalf the Grey or Sam the Brave. If you like the character very much, it's only natural to get a tattoo. However, if large tattoo ideas, such as a Lord of the Rings sleeve tattoo, are not your favorite, there are always word tattoos from J.R.R. Tolkien quotes. They are the ones that mix the elements of the lore-rich world with quotes from books or movies. Just sit down, watch the 10-hour original trilogy, or read three books, and pick out the quotes you like.
So, if you are looking for the right LOTR tattoo, you can take a breather. In the list below, we have compiled the tattoos that perfectly capture the Lord of the Rings world in the best way possible. Make sure to upvote the designs that you liked the most. If you are a fan, share the creative tattoos people should get.

Glad to see text other than "Not all who wander are lost." It's a great quote, but so overused it's become trite. Overall, this is really nice!

I can’t understand why someone would want that hideous, emancipated face on their body. Of the vast amount of imagery to pick from…that?

"I might be biased, but this is my favorite iteration of the shards of Narsil by far. Done by Martin Kelly at body electric tattoo in LA."

First shard on the right doesn’t match the top of the sword. That would drive me nuts. But otherwise beautiful tattoo.

I'm not sure what Gandalf looked like in my head before the movies, but for the rest of my life he will always be pictured as Ian McKellan.

I can't imagine getting permanent ink for a movie or band or book. We change, it feels like the best thing ever for maybe years but suddenly something new is so much better. Big mistake getting stuck on just one thing so much, the world is huge, colourful and ever evolving.
