Which symbol represents your favourite character?

[Sarah]

I'm thinking of getting a small tattoo and am thinking of a tiny Stetson to mark my love not only for Larry but for Dallas. If it doesn't hurt too much, there may follow more Dallas-like symbols - I can't think of who.

When thinking of your favourite character, what one symbol would you pick to have tattooed on yourself to represent them?

JR for me is obviously a Stetson and Sue Ellen would be a stiletto shoe. Lucy might be a little Tinkerbell style fairy, and Ray could maybe be a cow.

Notes are - YOU MUST get the tattoo and it must be one symbol, not a face, which would make it too obvious.

A tattoo of Jock's lion medallion would be appropriate for him.

I like it

Fans of the Farlows could get a Southern Cross.

not sure if it would translate to a good tattoo, but I like Jock’s Lincoln

J.R. / Hagman? Those untamed upwardly mobile eyebrows we saw at their hirsute best on early Dallas and TNT Dallas

Bobby: Polka dots

Miss Ellie: Exercise bike

Cliff: Chinese carton

Clayton: A girdle

Jack: A large rolled up pair of socks

Pam: Buoys

Harv: Nose bridge soothing cream

More objects as metonymic representations of characters than symbols, I know....

LOL Love the chinese carton that's perfect!!! And was just waiting for someone to bring up the Buoys lol! @Laurie Marr

I am not getting a tattoo since it is not my thing.

But for fun. I think the perfect sign for Cliff would be the Chinese language sign for food!

JR would be a stetson, an oil rig or a cowboy boot.

Sue Ellen would probably be a stiletto or a yellow rose but my SE keyring came with a plastic thing in the shape of a diamond.

Afton would be a note.

For the show itself it would be a heart. I once wrote an english paper about Dallas when I was in High School and name it "Dallas in my heart".

Dallas = Southfork Ranch

Did we ever see Ray branding the cattle? Even if we didn't, that certainly would have been one of things he did. A tattoo of a branding iron that left the brand SF would be appropriate for Ray.

How can you forget Sue Ellen? A vodka bottle of course!

Cool thread.

I'd pick a crown for Sue Ellen and have the word 'beauty' written above.

I have one of these in my living room. 23 years ago was given to me by my kids, as a testament to my enjoyment of DALLAS and Jock, JR, and Bobby.

Empty one.
