Does anyone have any Equilibrium tattoos? I'm planning on getting one later this month. I'm getting the Equilibrium lettering but just the letters EQ on my arm. I'll post pics as soon as I get it.  |

None here ... when I was a boy, my mum, who was pretty close to being a real-life Cleric, made it clear to me that tats were strictly EC-10 and that I could expect summary combustion if I ever came home wearing one ... later I just never bothered with them. No tempatation to get an EQ or any other kind now.
But for yourself .. why not the classic Tetragrammaton logo?

I want the Tetragrammaton symbol too. It's just that me and my buddies had a small wrestling league and my character was kinda based on Preston. And my wrestling is Equilibrium but they call me EQ.

I'd be wary of getting a Tetragrammaton symbol as a tattoo due to it's vague-enough semblance of a swastika. That is, you may not have time to explain what it is as the fist is approaching your face.

Well there is that. One does sometimes forget the number of chowderheads out there ... it's growing every day too. |

I wouldn't get one, but if I did, it would be a cross between the Tetragrammaton symbol and a Celtic cross. You know, for my partial Irish Catholic heritage.
Or Id get a big tattoo on my chest with Preston holding the puppy in a protective manner.

This post has me thinking, which is not a good thing... hmm... I want another tattoo but have no idea what- this is giving me ideas!

I don't have a tattoo, as I noted above ... however, it may not be out of place to note that every day I wear an emblem in the shape of a T, which of course is the Monastery's symbol. It's one of the things that made me interested in the movie to start with.

I think that the cross (4 T's) has the risk of being misinterpreted... i.e. swastika  |

Kind of sad. I would put EC-10 or Eqilibrium under it.  |

Maybe use two Berettas, each pointing muzzle down but with handles pointing opposite directions to suggest a Tetagrammaton "T?"

I'm only serious for people who want tats ... i.e., not me. I can appreciate a good tat, even if I don't want one myself.  |

Hmm. I was just thinking... (uh oh) and I think that "Not without incident." would be a great tattoo within itself. |

Maybe the four T's of the Tetragrammaton ... but pulled apart a little ... with a skull in the middle. And the legend: "Tetragrammaton: there's nothing we can't do."

Having a skull is kinda biker in flavor. And the last thing I think of when I think of the movie's style (clean dystopia) is "biker" or "tribal."
I like either the beretta, or some quoted text (perhaps in the movie font) ideas.

What about a Beretta muzzle with the characteristic "Tetra flash" coming out .... and an appropriate motto, in movie font script? It would take a good artist to pull it off though.

Good one preston782, but I'd be worried that someone would mistake it for some kind of "fundraising ribbon" if it wasn't done right. Maybe more of a banner....

EXACTLY. It can't look like an AIDS red ribbon.
Banner/flowing ribbon would be the way to go.

I think I should comment that when I get my next tatt, it WILL be this ^.
