Warhammer + Tattoos

By Leah Kim Gavalas
Loquacious posted a very interesting article yesterday about the information you can extract from someones tattoos, especially about their gaming attitude. You can find it here, on her personal blog Wold of Wonder, or here, on the House of Paincakes blog. It features the recent tattoo of Isabella Von Carstein that my wife Leah gave to my mate Nick and also some personal skin art of yours truly. It is a very good read but as I said to Loquacious before I don't agree with it 100%. Trying to pigeonhole someone based on their skin art can lead to stereotyping. This is not very fair in my opinion since from my personal experience I have found that tattooed people are a wild and very diverse bunch of individuals. Nevertheless, the observations Loquacious made are very accurate  and she is trying to make educated guesses rather than stereotype people. So if you haven't read the article already, jump to the links and enjoy it!

Isabella Von Carstein Tattoo


So my friend Nick decided that he wanted to get a tattoo from the Vampire Counts army book. They are one of his favourite armies plus the artwork in that book is pretty amazing. Since getting a chick tattoo is always go, he went for Isabella Von Carstein. And who's better to give this tattoo than my lovely wife Leah. Kudos to both of them, Leah for doing a great job and Nick for finally admitting to what a big warhammer geek he is! Unfortunately I didn't manage to get any decent pictures (he was bleeding too much) but I hope you enjoy them anyway. Without further ado, here they are:
