beccaelizabethI just wandered onto a page collecting sword tattoo pictures
and like a third of them were either Narsil from the Lord of the Ring movies or the Master Sword from Zelda
but whoever wrote the descriptions did not know that.
They had collected dozens of pictures with the exact same sword hilt and symbols
or broken in the exact same places, often with a ring
and just made no connection between them, let alone with their source
because they just bundle them all into category 'sword'.
I know there will be other specific swords that I don't recognise
but it vaguely bothers me
realising what we don't know we don't know.
... also, some of them were not very good versions
and someone has them permanently anyway.
also also, attempting to search for anything just ends up on pinterest with no labels or on pages like that with wrong ones and no source, and it's annoying.
was just thinking once again about the tattoo I've been not getting since Highlander
and looking for cool designs for the roses and maybe words with it.
Sword is easy, Richie's sword had a really nice hilt
but fiddling with details of placement etc is how I end up never getting it done.
Maybe I could find someone to do temporary art versions of all the tattoos I never got and get photos and like find out how I'd feel all illustrated. That would be neat.
