From Swords to Tattoos

1. I find the Sultan Tughra to be an intricate and suggestive form. It is often stamped on antique ottoman works of better quality. (see the photo below)

2. The signature in cartouche of Assad Allah of Isfahan the legendary persian blademaker. I find it the most appropriate for an islamic sword collector. KLIK

Well I also want my second tatoo (I have a japanese dragon on my right shoulder) but I'll decide from the two mentioned above.

As Radu mentioned it before, do not paint on your car any of thoose symbols uneder any circumstances. Some people feel a real genetic anger towards them

Go on Sabertasche, as we Slovans use to say, if you do that at your 45, you're a Tsar.

Anything you choose, please attach some photos when it is done!!

This Forum had a t-shirt for sale, with multiple pics of various swords; you can use it as a pattern for the entire torso...

It is good you are collecting swords and not something else.
A Professor of Ophthalmology I knew got a present from his Fellows for his retirement: a big (very big!) picture of a human eye with his portrait in the pupil. His reaction was " Luckily, I decided against becoming a Gynecologist early on!"
