J.R.R. Tolkien not only illustrated “The Hobbit,” but was also closely involved in its production, designing the dust-jacket and binding.Lcp1brd 06 29 2018 Pressargus 1 B003 2018 06 28 Img 10 2 1 Bbm7ouaq L1244687716 Img 10 2 1 Bbm7ouaq /

Not every Lord of the Rings tattoo has to be dark and grim. This Hobbit hole tattoo is all kinds of charming:

"Got my little piece of the Shire… from lotr"

Here, Bilbo Baggins (I think) sets out on his journey:

"Had it in mind for years… Finally did it! from lotr"

And of course, that journey eventually leads him to the Lonely Mountain where he encounters the dragon Smaug:

Moving onto The Lord of the Rings, some fans got tattoos of the Fellowship in silhouette on their way to Mordor:

"Love LOTR so much I put it on my body forever. Tattoo by @meechtattoos_ from lotr"

This one includes a lovely quote from Samwise Gamgee:

"Lord of the Rings has such a special place in my heart, obsessed with how this came out. 💙 from lotr"

Okay, that’s enough good cheer. Back to violence:
