My next tattoo.

Yeah, it's been close to thirty years, I'm ready for a second one.

So, what should I get?

The Order of Hermes
The symbol of the Order of Hermes from Ars Magica

The Rosette of the Holy Inquisition
The Imperial Inquisition from WH40K

[Poll #1635511]

I'm thinking of getting it on my inside forearm. Any of my WH40K friends have a Rosette that isn't on a black background? I'd like to have line art to show the tattoo artist.

Yes, I'm getting RPG tattoos. Unless the Giants win the Series, at which point I'm getting the SF logo tattooed over my heart.

Order of Hermes is more ambiguous and makes people think.

So where are your Traveller tattoos?

I really like the Order of Hermes design, but I'm a sucker for anything that's remotely evocative of Celtic design.

No preference to the two shown, but I hope you get the other one. I'm sure it'll make Frank McCourt real happy.

So, when the Giants tattoo falls through (*cough*), if you don't find a better version of the Order of Hermes layout, I'll be happy to clean it up for you in Adobe Illustrator. I just need to research what the symbols are on the snakes' heads.
