So I've finally decided that I wanna get one, but I have no idea what to get.
I wanna make it something personal, so none of that tribal shit (even though it looks so awesome).
I'd love to get one associated with a favourite game, but they all look either cliche (triforce, hyrule gylph, starfox logo, any Final fantasy disc art) or shit (character's faces, weapons, quotes etc).
I was thinkin of somethin' from an anime, but that shit can be really bad if done.. well.. bad..

Anyone got any suggestions for tattoos from games, books, animu, or even TV series?
Aaaand, does anyone here have a tattoo from a game, book, animu, or TV series?

Go for my Bioshock adaption, which still works as a standalone tattoo, as well as a motto for life.

Have broken chains on one wrist with "A man chooses" underneath and linked chains on the other with "A slave obeys" underneath it. While you didn't want quotes, this won't be obviously game-related.

Unfortunately, due to haemophilia, I can't have tattoos. If I could, I'd have that and some others by now, I have lots of ideas doodled on old school books.

You want something personal yet you ask us for suggestions?
I know its silly, and I did think about it before I wrote it, but I'm actually hoping to get some inspiration outta you guys. Maybe a few ideas might make me think of something on my own <3

Eh, how about one of the cod perk images, a cube, splosion man? I don't know games you play might help.

If you get a tattoo of video game character you will regret it in a few years, believe me. Are you at all religious? Irish? i find the best tattoos come from your ancestry.

Me, I am Irish, I have a bad ass Celtic Cross on my shoulder/bicep

I suggest waiting until you've got something you really wanna get. That's what I'm doing! If it's gonna be a part of you for your whole life, you don't really want it to be a spurr of the moment thing

Haha, when I was younger, I thought if I was going to get a tattoo, I would have the original Dark Magician on my arm. I don't think so any more, but he still looks awesome. I actually wouldn't get a tattoo now, as awesome as they are, my skin will eventually get loose. Ewww.

OT: If you are going to get a tattoo, you must, must must must, get one of the Glyphs from Chaos Legion. They look EPIC, and it's still personal. :p

Agreed. I have a Polish Eagle on my shoulder.

For your own sake, don't get a video game tattoo. They are neither personal nor original, unless you helped create the game or something. Most of them look awful anyway. But the best advice I can give you is: don't listen to me...or anyone. You are the one that will have this piece of art on your body for the rest of your life. Get whatever you want, just make sure you really think about it and are sure it's what you want, before you do it
