Like every pop culture phenomenon, Lord of the Rings, which began with The Hobbit, extends beyond the written word and the silver screen. Characters and lines uttered or written to be spoken by them in the books and movies are simply too cool to ignore and be left alone, as people find creative ways to immortalize them with incredible tattoos on their bodies.

Elvish Text Tattoos

There are two specific writings that are especially popular among Lord of the Rings fans when it comes to the Elvish language Tattoos. One is from the “All the is gold does not glitter” poem, which pretty much describes Aragorn; a poem written by Gandalf.

The other is the writing on the one ring, translated into One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them,

One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Speak friend, and Enter. How the lads got into the mines Moria.

The One Ring

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
