Gallery of Klingon Tattoos

Over the years, many people have made a tattoo using Klingon letters. This is a collection of those. Please note that this is a Klingon language wiki, so only add language-related tattoos.

Celebrity Tattoo

The actress Spice Williams - who played the Klingon female named Vixis in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier - has a tattoo on her ankle, made in 2008. She has her Klingon name at the bottom of the symbol and Qapla' to the side, written in pIqaD. This tattoo was at the request of her son who felt she should have the "mark of a Klingon!" (1)

Tattoos using pIqaD

The phrase reads Ha'DIbaH SopQo'wI'. Literally translated as "someone who refuses to eat meat/animals", this phrase was used to indicate the idea of being vegetarian. The phrase is grammatically correct and uses the pIqaD font which was used in Star Trek: Discovery.

This tattoo reads SuvwI' jIH, meaning I'm a warrior.
Owner: Mario Helmholz

Below the classic trefoil, this tattoo shows a phrase from The Klingon Way: bIjatlh 'e' yImev. yItlhutlh. meaning Stop talking; drink!.

The upper case I (eye) has been replaced by lower case ell, and the sound tlh, which is one character in pIqaD, is written using the letters t-l-H. So it reads as bljatlH 'e' yImev. yltlHutlH. The correct spelling is bijax zez yimev. yixux.

Tattoos with Fake Klingon

The owner says it's supposed to mean "Honor, Glory, Duty". When you read the letters of the lower line, it is indeed "Duty ghlory Honor", so it's not really Klingon. The upper line seems to inlude different letters.

This tattoo is found at the calf and seems to show three names: Sandra, Joy, and Nelson. The words are displayed using pIqaD letters, so it reads SanDra joy nelSon.
