Ah, you're fast.
If you want my opinion, everyone gets the brand, go for something else. If you really want the brand though, the upper arm or the front side of your shoulder seem like good places for me.

I was thinking of getting it on my hand like Judeau did but then decided not because it would be visible all the time. My idea was to get the brand but surround it with viking scripture so it looks like it fits. Or just get the viking scripture and ignore the brand. And get the brand like it was a word, not like a burn.
Still need to go back next week to get sword and add some better fading/shading on the whole thing (especially the leg part)
I also have the brand on the other side but no need to post that
I've had myself convinced to get a Berserk tattoo of some kind for a good year now, but there's too many incredible illustrations through-out the manga for me to decide. I don't really want to get the brand, I was thinking a really perfect picture of Guts or SK. Just can't pick one.
Kalannar, nice one. You should post again when you get your touch ups done.
Just need to add color behind the eclipse for sun rays (top left) and some more shading on the ground below Guts (bottom right), I might thicken the border too and add some shading around the Flying Sword logo. ^_^

As always, I am in awe of the level of fandom that I just cannot bring myself to...you guys are something else. And that recent brand tattoo, wow, if I wasn't a fan of Berserk I would've thought you actually got branded recently or something. That tattoo is amazing! The skull recreation is also very impressive! I applaud your ink artist.
It's not quite finished yet. It's faded a bit since I took this pic, as tats tend to do, but he's gonna go over it again and touch it up once it finishes healing.
I got the brand on my right leg, its a brand thou and not a tattoo, I was thinking of getting a tattoo over it so it looks like its bleeding but cant find the right artist, Ill upload a pic after work tonight
