I’ve been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while now and i want to get a tattoo that represents the way i live my life… there are 12 points to the scout law and any ideas about how to represent all twelve points. I thoughts about animals or symbols but idk. Maybe small scenes any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Use the Fleur de Lis as a centerpiece and write the twelve words in a circle around it? That would match some of the scouting badges I have in a box somewhere.

How about a sleeve with the 12 points as scout badges.

Thanks for the ideas. I thought about Circling the eagle badge with the 12 points but what recently sparked my interested getting a tattoo was I’ve seen some awesome full sleeve collages where all the images and symbols represented something and I couldnt full slave that idea. Its going to take a really good idea to get it tattooed on me and im sure there are some great ideas out there that I couldnt even imagine I like the input thanks

If you want to get all twelve points then go for a bigger piece otherwise it’ll be too many things in one tattoo. Thighs, sleeves, chest, back……..

I like that idea. Every time you look at the logo you’ll be reminded of the twelve points. And it won’t seem too busy. Down the road, if it isn’t enough, you can certainly have it expanded to include any representation of the twelve points that you choose…
