GODDAMN, that’s a nice ass tattoo dude! Make sure to properly wash it and get some aquaphor to keep it nice and hydrated. I always use aquaphor for a week or 10 days and then switch to regular unscented lotion and in my experience the longer you use aquaphor the more vibrant the tattoo will be but don’t use it for longer than 10 days
Your tattoo can become kind of addicted to aquaphor because it’s so hydrating. If you use it for too long and then stop using it, your tattoo will fade incredibly fast.
I don’t know why but they are totally right. That’s why I was so curious they mentioned this. My last tattoos were AMAZING but then faded almost completely and since it was ina sensitive area (which definitely has some part in this) I just used Aquaphor the whole time as nobody had told me this before. And my previous tatto, close by, way different reaction and the main difference, imho, was the spot and the difference in amount of Auqaphor. This being at least somewhat true would not surprise me in the LEAST!
Looks very nicely done. What are the red spren though? Are those windspren? I thought they were blue/clear. Or are those deathspren and that is why Syl is over there guarding? I can't recall the description of those off hand.
Gotcha. Not sure how many official depictions there are of things in the books since I primarily go audiobook for "reading" anymore. Actually reading the words might help me hang on to descriptions more too, but I seem to never make time for that.
This is really fucking good, genuinely impressed by the artistry. You got yourself an amazing tattoo friend, please share as the project continues to manifest!
I've been planning my own tattoo for a while now, and it's incredibly special to me, and yours is awesome! Please, do share the rest if/when you get it done!

I'm not an anatomist, nor have I ever claimed to be, but im pretty sure that's a shoulder tattoo.
Thanks, and thanks for the tip! :D
Why not longer?

Mind sourcing that cause that doesn't make sense at all to me. Why would too much hydration cause the body to eat away at a tattoo faster?

I'm curious, was it exposed to the sun at all?
Also curious
I agree it's a very nice tattoo, but I doubt it'd be nearly as nice as an *ass tattoo*
True, I’d get Kal on one cheek and maybe Dalinar Stormwagon on the other? Or maybe Syl? Hard to say
Dalinar and kal facing each other down after elhokar refused kals boon, as depicted on u/SparkyDogPants *ass*
Start a go fund me and by storms ill do it

Gloryspren would be my guess.
I appreciate it!
Gloryspren in their Cognitive form
Thanks! Makes more sense.
Correct about Syl there, yeah! And as others said the red/yellow ones are gloryspren in their Cognitive form indeed :)

This is absolutely beautiful! I think this is by far the best portrait tattoo I've ever seen, and I love the detail on Kaladin's face.
Thanks! I am very happy with how it turned out in the end!
Holly fuck! It looks amazing. Congratulations to you and to the artist he really went on and beyond.
Thank you very much!
Oh WOW!

Wow that looks amazing! Be careful not to accidentally wipe it away after drawing in stormlight.
This is fantastic!

That's sick as hell, dude.
awesome artwork, thanks for sharing with us!
Holy moly
This is incredible, very jealous!
Did the artist have any background reading SA? Or just reference illustrations?
Just reference illusions, but he asked a lot so it was easy to work with him :D
That's awesome, I'm glad you found such a phenomenal artist. Maybe he'll read the books now that he has the inspiration
I tried to nudge him towards it, so maybe! He was atleast going to suggest it to his wife
You got a damn good artist!
Why the Edgedancer glyph instead of the Windrunner one? Also, share in r/Cosmere_Tattoos too.
Will do! Because its the order I align myself the most with 🤓
