I've been thinking about getting a tattoo for a long time. I'm probably eventually going to end up with a Green Mushroom from Mario and something from Final Fantasy.
My problem in thinking about the Final Fantasy tattoo is that there is no single iconic imagery for the series. Since it reinvents itself with each new game there is no one central image or style that carries all the way through.
The most consistent imagery I can think of are crystals and chocobos. But, I don't know of anything else that truly sums up the series as a whole.
Onto my question. What is the best piece of imagery for the Final Fantasy series as a whole?
(Yes, I'm looking for tattoo ideas)

I think squalls pendant is pretty badass, but if you want something that represents the entire series I would go with the box art from FF6 with the title and a moogle. If you don't want something so "cute" I'd suggest something like a cactaur or a Marlboro.

A moogle or a classic black mage.
Something in the Amano style?

I had the same concern. I wanted to get something that was representative of the series as a whole, but it's a tough call. I finally decided on the classic 8-bit black mage and got it done a couple years ago.

It's on my calf. It's actually pretty rare that someone notices it and actually knows what it is, although I've lost count of how many times people have said "is that a Pokemon?"   |

I have two good friends, brothers (not the minotaur kind) that have some final fantasy tattoos. They got thug style stomach tattoos of spell names. I know one of them has Holy and I think the other one has Ultima. I remember thinking back then that was some real dedication. I can try to see if they have pictures up.

A summon/eidolon/GF whatever you want to call it, I think would be best the iconic ones like Shiva, ifrit, carbuncle ect. Seem to make their way into most FF games
