Learn all about the Elven tattoo that the nine actors of the Fellowship of Ring got when they finished filming the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I saw that article, that was great! It's so neat to think the actors grew so close during the filming. I always feel sorry for Sean Bean since he only got to be with them 1/3rd of the say. It's really mostly the Fellowship of the 8. But he did get his tattoo <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yes, Lisa, I too have a soft Beanie spot in my heart. Word along the LoTR grapevine has it that Billy Boyd let slip that Boromir would be reappearing in the TTT extended DVD. Chances are it is some form of flashback that Faramir will have, as they filmed something during pickups last summer.

Oh neat! I *love* the extended version of the first one. It is SO much better than the base film, and the base film was fantastic. So I'll definitely be eagerly awaiting the extended version of TT.

The Bean thing was funny because when Boston.com did their review of TT they had a little box by the review with the names of the actors in it - and they included Sean Bean. I wrote them and asked something like, "What, is his ghost going to come and haunt the party?" We all had a good laugh over that <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I just wanted to offer up my most sincere thanks to the 22000 or so Lord of the Rings fans who have visited the article about the Fellowship tattoo since it was posted two weeks ago.


May the Blessings of the Valar be upon You!

You could even extend the article so instead of just one page it's multiple pages, going into more detail on each actor, the position of his tattoo and his thoughts on it <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Actually, according to popular email opinion, I have to find some really good pics of Wesley Snipes from Blade and George Clooney from From Dusk Til Dawn first. Don't any of these people have DVD players?

I'd like to see if any pics come out with the actor's tattoos that I don't have yet and then expand it. I've got a lead on Orlando Bloom's Elvish tat on his forarm. Viggo is the one who has remained the most tight-lipped, so there's my challenge...
