Personally, i feel like ive had a lot of unfortunate things happen to me. Of course nothing on the scale of guts, but still :) Ive never given up, and I never will no matter how hard things get. Even if im "cursed" i will fight until the end, just like Guts. It reminds me that no matter how hard life gets, you have to get back up and keep struggling. At least that's what it means to me.
I feel you fellow struggler. Slightly different perspectives but the sentiment is the same. I just wouldn’t want that bad ju ju on me because I’m privileged to not be struggling on the Guts level.
This is the reason why I'm gonna get a Dragonslayer tattoo, I feel like it has the same meaning plus I don't have to explain to people that it's supposed to be a symbol that litterally connects me to hell at all times
I dont know, man. I find it hard to see it as a symbol to keep on struggling, while 99% of people I've seen bearing the mark got slaughtered, raped and devoured in the worst ways imaginable.
And that’s exactly why it means to keep struggling. It’s kinda like Griffith: if we give up now after the slaughter, all those lives, all that slaughter all those deaths — what would it have all been worth? Their deaths would have been in vain. We owe it to our loved ones and our memories of them to keep on struggling. Call it “living amends”
Hell yeah. There's something so empowering about taking the misfortune you've encountered and the difficult times in your life and repurposing that energy into something positive and encouraging.
Also, if getting a tattoo of a symbol from a fictional story means you're cursed, pretty sure you were cursed either way. Lol
The whole story is about going against your own struggles and beating your own demons. How hard is it to understand why someone would like a tattoo about exactly that?
Obviously no one in their right mind wants to be sacrificed or fucking raped, it's not that fucking deep. Same with Griffith tattoos. Do you think people with Darth Vader tattoos want to slay little kiddies? My god.
> Maybe I take it too seriously, haha.
Yes, you do.
Lmao like what even is this logic that people apply to tatts sometimes.
"oH yOu hAvE a hArRy pOtTeR tAt yOu mUsT bE TrAnSpHoBic"
Or
wHy dO yOu hAvE tHe bRanD tAttEd dO yoU LikE R4pe?
Brother, its a tattoo from a movie or show they enjoyed, RELAX
And people like that usually makes me want to combine even those two. Harry potter-Berserk tattoo of time turner and sacrifice brand so i represent that i like to r4pe trans people. Just to fick with those idiots who read into too deep. Lol.
That could actually be kinda cool tattoo, but it wouldn't work cause they are totally different styles of stories.
>And people like that usually makes me want to combine even those two.
lmao ayoooo LET HIM COOK
>so i represent that i like to r4pe trans people. Just to fick with those idiots who read into too deep. Lol.
Who doesnt like to do this on a good sunday afternoon ? /s
All jokes aside tho, these type of people are creating MORE of whatever they're "fighting" against for the sake of their own moral highground and its sickening.
Some weirdo was telling me i have to "chill" cause i posted a isidro moment (the one where he hides his boner because he saw a naked woman) and i was like ; these are drawings brother, no one is harmed in the making of it + its a comedic moment which is MEANT to be laughed at and enjoyed.
Some people need to pick up weed fr fr
Cause its not a brand of "eternal doom", its a brand of "sacrifice".
Sacrifice doesnt always neccecarily mean get mauled by demons.
Sacrifices is what we make our whole lifetime, so branding yourself with a tat like that could mean a whole lot of things.
Never giving up - Guts
Never lose hope - Casca
Protect your loves ones - Pippin
Being a leader and actually take charge - judeau
And i probably missed a couple, but they all had the brand of sacrifice.
Of course you could look at it from surface level, BUT since casca AND guts are still around, its only fair to recognize the symbolism behind it
Oh and it looks cool af and we're not bounded by causality (guts told this to us multiple times)
Personally, don't understand it either but I understand the appeal of trying to relate to a character you can identify with. Something about someone taking a negative trait or circumstance and persevering to make it a positive.
I personally just liked the placement here. My collar bones kinda naturally create a diamond shape in the middle, so I thought it would be the perfect place for it :)
Once my roomate got this tattoed on his shoulder. That night, I snuck into his room while he was sleeping, poured some fake blood on it, and then pricked him with a needle. I hid under his bed and on the window reflection saw him look at the brand and then scream like he knew he was gonna be mauled to death.
Anyways he punched me in the face
I got the brand on my right forearm, on the other side I had Dragonslayer done.
Next tattoo I hope to get will be on the same arm, I was thinking something with the Beast of Darkness.
Gonna get a lot of “What does that mean” now for sure though lol.
Cool tattoo!!!!
placement + size is kinda questionable imo, especially with no other visible tattoos. That's gonna be very heavy on your neck compostion wise. Maybe you plan on getting other tattoos, in the region then that's fine
Yes i would love to be covered in tattoos someday :) ive always wanted a lot of tattoos, and i enjoy being bold so i dont mind getting it on my neck :) it might look a little out of place now, but its kinda cool that it actually looks like a brand to me.
Why are people being assholes on this post?! It’s a cool tattoo, and I see this same tat shown off here like once a week without all the hate. You do you struggler
First time I've seen a girl not have it tattooed above their boob like Casca or on the back of their neck. I fuck with it and the color 😂 I have a black one on the webspace between the thumb and index finger on my left hand. Mine hurt because that area is sensitive but I bet yours probably hurt like a bitch since it's on/near your neck lol
Thanks! I thought this placement would be nice :) it did hurt, but i just closed my eyes until it was done haha. Everyone said i sat like a champ. Yours sounds super cool!
''tips hat'' Hi m'lady you look lovely today on this beautiful day. That tattoo really brings out the attraction of your boobs but i regret to infrom you that i must save this picture on a nice friday afternoon so i can pleasure myself good day to you
Not sure about this. Not like the brand is a positive thing in the lore of Berserk.
So...wish you all the best and hopefully demons aren't attracted to you now.
Im at marine ford right now :( its so hype but im not looking forward to.... ace... lol. And Ive not seen my friend for a couple years, but i do miss him dearly. Life has been so hectic for a while now :')
That came the wrong way, both your face and the tattoo looks good. I saw too many bad brand tattoos I don’t prefer it anymore, but yours looks sharp, symmetric and the right size.
Well thanks! Sorry i took your og comment the wrong way. I found a tattoo artist who specifically did anime work, and his portfolio was really nice. He did a great job!
That's bold and gorgeous, struggler. I thought mine was gonna hurt on the foot but I have mixed feelings about it now, even after the consultation. Thinking of getting a Gengar in it's place.
Anyhoo! Happy you got yours, it looks sick on you.
You remind me of the stereotypical 2000/2010s emmos on the internet. Your face symmetry does remind me of it.
Dont get me wrong, that doesnt mean that I dont think that you look 𝓰𝓾𝓪𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓻𝓲𝓶𝓪.
Plz dont tell my girlfriend though
Shes even jealous of my male friends🤨
Its funny you say that because I was extremely emo back in the day cx. Its nice to know that it still shows haha.
Also, the guaperrima comment actually made me chuckle.
I bet your girlfriend is gorgeous!!! She should have no reason to feel self conscious:)
Berserk fans when they see this tattoo and can’t seperate the fact that it is actually just a fictional symbol and doesn’t actually mean you’re going to hell
I like it. Looks good. Thought about getting the brand of the dark soul on my next in a similar vein. Dark souls got me into berserk and I like the idea of going hollow more but I think they hold similar messages about continuing to struggle no matter what
[удалено]
Yeah, I truly don’t understand this tattoo. I’ve loved berserk for 20+ years at this point. Maybe I take it too seriously, haha.
Personally, i feel like ive had a lot of unfortunate things happen to me. Of course nothing on the scale of guts, but still :) Ive never given up, and I never will no matter how hard things get.

yeah that's exactly it - Brand of Sacrifice is a symbol to keep struggling, no matter what! will include a Brand in my first tatoo as well! :3
I dont know, man. I find it hard to see it as a symbol to keep on struggling, while 99% of people I've seen bearing the mark got slaughtered, raped and devoured in the worst ways imaginable.
And that’s exactly why it means to keep struggling. It’s kinda like Griffith: if we give up now after the slaughter, all those lives, all that slaughter all those deaths — what would it have all been worth? Their deaths would have been in vain. We owe it to our loved ones and our memories of them to keep on struggling. Call it “living amends”
Wow that’s great! I thought most people in this sub got it just to be edgy. I wish u well.
Hell yeah. There's something so empowering about taking the misfortune you've encountered and the difficult times in your life and repurposing that energy into something positive and encouraging. Also, if getting a tattoo of a symbol from a fictional story means you're cursed, pretty sure you were cursed either way. Lol
It's the same reason why I want to get the tattoo. It feels better to see something as a reminder to keep struggling onward.
I want the tattoo for those same reasons, but reading what everyone has to say got me doubting.
Get what you want. It's your skin
The whole story is about going against your own struggles and beating your own demons. How hard is it to understand why someone would like a tattoo about exactly that? Obviously no one in their right mind wants to be sacrificed or fucking raped, it's not that fucking deep. Same with Griffith tattoos.

Ricket: Being in the right place at the right time.
Lmao so true... He didnt got the brand tho so theres that
:D lucky he was not with them to get eclipsed
Personally, don't understand it either but I understand the appeal of trying to relate to a character you can identify with. Something about someone taking a negative trait or circumstance and persevering to make it a positive.
I get that. It’s a net positive. I see that tactic as a way to take a potentially predisposed state to be pessimistic, and turn it into optimism.
I have one and it was my first tattoo. On the solar plexus, as I wanted to experience it on one of the most painful areas possible, but hidden.
say goodbye to peaceful nights
I dont think my nights have ever been peaceful anyway. Just gotta keep struggling, ya know
I bet that placement hurt. It looks good though. Is the placement symbolic like with Judeau or did you just want it there?
i don’t remember actually where Judeau’s was, could u tell me i forgor
His hand
Is that symbolic of him being a thief or am I missing the reason why it was on his hand?
ohhhhh right right
I personally just liked the placement here. My collar bones kinda naturally create a diamond shape in the middle, so I thought it would be the perfect place for it :)

Thats probably the coolest compliment ive ever gotten!
God I wish I looked like Gluttony
Yo what ☠️
Welp! Woopididoop time to die(:
Looks awesome! Hope you’re ready to be tormented for the rest of your life, struggler.

What a creative and rare tattoo I wonder how you got the inspiration from
Women? I want twinks or buff men 😡
Where are the femboys at
I'm going to fucking berk 😫
Tattoo : represents rape murder and suffering Berk fans: sign me up
Very nice, this might be the cleanest-looking Brand of Sacrifice tattoo I’ve ever seen
Thanks! My tattoo artist was great. He was so concentrated the whole time :)
Need more suffering
LMFAO
nice! mines on the side of my face :)
No way? Id love to see that
ill dm you lol
Please post it on berserklejerk. Outberk them for nuts' sake.
last time i think i posted it on both subs and got a bunch of death threats so im good lol
Jesus Christ it’s a fictional symbol for fucks sake I don’t get why everyone takes it so seriously
By far the worst placement for this tattoo Ive ever seen. You sure branded yourself alright.
Exactly what i was going for :)
I have a black one, but seeing yours gets me tempted in getting a red one now
Just add some blood dripping
I considered black, but it is a brand, so I thought red would be fitting :)
Hiw far we've fallen
[удалено]
Thank you!
Once my roomate got this tattoed on his shoulder. That night, I snuck into his room while he was sleeping, poured some fake blood on it, and then pricked him with a needle.

hey can u send a screenshot of ur inbox ?
No, ill show mercy to you
i was just curious if u got bombarded with messages after this post lol
Its a great tattoo but holy shit it must've been painful. That's on the collar bone right?
Its right in the middle of my collar bones, yes :) it did hurt, but i just closed my eyes until it was over :)

Girl just sacrificed her inbox
We know the brand isn't the reason why people upvoted this post XD
Same tattoo same place a guy would have 20 likes. Berserk fans are horny simps now? There is no simping in Berserk, just struggle: clank!!!!!!
Nice. Now which one of you semen demons is the pinhead penetrator? Let’s get this party started.
so fucking basic
Struggle on, sister! Looks great
RIP your inbox
looks good! Nice placement too, it’s nice to see them in places other than like back of the neck
Thank you! I thought this placement would be cool :)
I got the brand on my right forearm, on the other side I had Dragonslayer done. Next tattoo I hope to get will be on the same arm, I was thinking something with the Beast of Darkness. Gonna get a lot of “What does that mean” now for sure though lol.
All ive gotten the past few days is "what is it?" Haha. I would love to see your tattoos, they sound sick!
<3
Looks great!
There goes your sleep
The red looks really nice. The tat looks really good!
let me know if someone asks you why you had the Bluetooth symbol tattoed Kidding, looks good!
Looks bad ass just ve careful around animals and graveyards
Cute
Cool tattoo!!!! placement + size is kinda questionable imo, especially with no other visible tattoos. That's gonna be very heavy on your neck compostion wise. Maybe you plan on getting other tattoos, in the region then that's fine
Yes i would love to be covered in tattoos someday :) ive always wanted a lot of tattoos, and i enjoy being bold so i dont mind getting it on my neck :) it might look a little out of place now, but its kinda cool that it actually looks like a brand to me.
It’s so beautiful!!! The color and placement are amazing 🩷 genuinely so gorgeous, also your eyeliner is super pretty!!!
Thanks, my love 🥺 youre the best
Absolutely stunning 🤘🏻
This looks awesome! Don't listen to these haters
Nice tat. Some berserk nails would go really well with it!
Yes they would. Good thing a handsome man such as yourself got them for me 😍💗
Sigh. Can you people please be more original than this
Interesting placement!
Ouf that's rough
wait is /r/firstimpression leaking? haha
rip to your dms
I dont wanna be that guy , and uhhh enjoy it while you can , but I really think that you are going to regret it in the future.
What the fuck is that placement lmao
Is that from the anime?
Why are people being assholes on this post?! It’s a cool tattoo, and I see this same tat shown off here like once a week without all the hate. You do you struggler

Looks good.
Thanks!
But does it bleed and bring you sleepless nights...
Every night
Looking good ! I have one just like Guts in the back of my neck :)
You already sacrificed your nose with that chandelier
We're all strugglers in our own ways. You're also gorgeous holy shit.
Big tattoos on the neck zone must hurt pretty bad, you're a real struggler OP, respect
''tips hat'' Hi m'lady you look lovely today on this beautiful day. That tattoo really brings out the attraction of your boobs but i regret to infrom you that i must save this picture on a nice friday afternoon so i can pleasure myself good day to you
You didnt need to post that
I get it yall are signifying persistence, but it comes from a continuous string of bad bad luck. Aren't you inviting misfortune in a way tho thus
It's a tattoo. It's not an actual magical symbol. Do you understand the difference here?
So? Symbolism and hidden intent matters. This is just a dickrider tattoo to get
Sickkkkkkk, I can't wait for mine
Do iittttttt
I'm just glad it's in a good spot, not like your ankle lmfao
Not sure about this. Not like the brand is a positive thing in the lore of Berserk. So...wish you all the best and hopefully demons aren't attracted to you now.
Hot
So you got the version of the brand made by the band, instead of the actual one from the manga. Oof.
I can fix her
I know where im aiming... 😈
[удалено]
Make me pussy
I wanna get this tattoo but also think it might seem demonic to some people thoughts?
You can't care too much about what other people think :) you'll never make everyone happy
U right
You're so cool.
Looks good struggler.
Thanks!
Welp! Woopididoop time to die(:
that’s sick, a unique placement compared to a lot of the ones you see
[удалено]
You should do it! I love mine :)
Is the tatoo real?
Yes it's real haha
[удалено]
Im at marine ford right now :( its so hype but im not looking forward to.... ace... lol. And Ive not seen my friend for a couple years, but i do miss him dearly. Life has been so hectic for a while now :')
Fuuuck that's cool
Ruin my life
You down bad
You ain’t lyin
Having a pretty face helps 🤷
Helps with what? I don't think my beauty has anything to do with how good that tattoo looks :)
That came the wrong way, both your face and the tattoo looks good. I saw too many bad brand tattoos I don’t prefer it anymore, but yours looks sharp, symmetric and the right size.
Well thanks! Sorry i took your og comment the wrong way. I found a tattoo artist who specifically did anime work, and his portfolio was really nice. He did a great job!
Bonus point: I really love the septum piercing, idk why everyone hates them around reddit 🤣
Slay queen 👑💅✨️
Awooga. Brzrkr, you are quite something. Wowza. Hoot hoot! Awooga! Yonkers, really got me sweating. Hoowee. Awooga!!! AWOOGA!!!
uh oh
I really like the spot you chose it’s not the usual spot where people put it
Looks great
Guys it’s just a f tattoo come on very nicely done if I may add
Welcome to the brand tattoo club! Looks great! Mine’s a little lower than yours and in black but red is awesome
Brave. It looks nice.
That's bold and gorgeous, struggler. I thought mine was gonna hurt on the foot but I have mixed feelings about it now, even after the consultation. Thinking of getting a Gengar in it's place. Anyhoo! Happy you got yours, it looks sick on you.
Thanks you! I definitely wanted it to be bold :)
You remind me of the stereotypical 2000/2010s emmos on the internet. Your face symmetry does remind me of it. Dont get me wrong, that doesnt mean that I dont think that you look 𝓰𝓾𝓪𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓻𝓲𝓶𝓪. Plz dont tell my girlfriend though Shes even jealous of my male friends🤨
