Poll: Game tattoo's: your opinion?

[Cupp4joe]

i'm surprised nobody has mentioned the bioshock chain tattoo yet. i'm getting it done in a month or so. it's simple, plus looks kinda cool even when not associated with gaming

edit: my bad, somebody did mention it, i just skipped that post xD

 

[MentalBakura]

I wouldn't mind something like the Organization XIII logo, or one of the Soul Reaver clan symbols. I think stuff like that is pretty cool. Getting a tattoo of a game character is a bit ridiculous in my opinion.

 

[whiskey rock n' roller]

I know one guy whos planning on getting the foxhound logo from Metal Gear, which I think sounds cool, but for the most part I think they're inherently a bad idea.

I have Griever from FF8 on my arm. Been wanting it since I was 11, finally got it done when I turned 18, and are still loving it. I'm planning to build a "geek" sleeve around it once I get the money for it, and a proper design down. I'm thinking a nice mix of past and present games, gonna be pretty kickarse I'm sure.

just one star would have been cool

I'd only get gaming tattoo's that aren't too obvious: Triforce logo, various Valve motives (the lambda, Combine and Aperature Science logo's), BioShock's chain, and the Mass Effect N7 sign is an absolutely fantastic suggestion.

I'd totally get such awesome symbols on me. The fact that they're also gaming related is just an added bonus. But I probably won't get a tattoo, although I'm not promising I never will.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Yes, but they burn like the fires of a thousand suns, apparently.

Apparently so.

But it's not permanent, now is it?

About as permanent as a marriage?
But seriously, as far as I know you end up with a scar or at least a distinct different patch of skin.
So I don't really think it's much of an option.

I saw that second pic and I heard Yathzee say in my mind "And it is ALWAYS stars (for some arbitrary reason)" XD

You've got some good ideas going
Somehow I suspect one day they'll become reality

I think getting a game-related tattoo is kinda dumb, honestly. Cool looking symbols are okay, I suppose, but anything else is pushing it. Really though I shouldn't talk. My (upper) right arm has an dragon curled around a bastard sword.

 

[ANImaniac89]

if done right and planed well can be really good

 

[funksobeefy]

Well my plan is if Im still playing Warhammer by my 25th birthday i will get a symbol from it I really like. Thats in four years so we will see.

Im thinking either a Tzeetch symbol or Nurgle's symbol. If not that then a Silver Helm knight that was pictured in the 3rd edition High Elf book.

oh and no offense, but nothing says "I have no creativity" then a triforce

The Serious Sam logo is cool even if you don't know it's from a game, same with the combine logo.

So yes, game tattoos can be cool.

 

[Liam1390]

I've been thinking about getting the Bioshock chain tattoos for a while.

 

[tsatoma]

Well I already have a tattoo for my favorite manga (One Piece) so why the hell not for my favorite games? Lulz.

Whenever I actually get to designing my next tattoo I know that the main part will be the Halo of the Sun from Silent Hill:

I think it'll look good. Only have a rough design though. I also plan on getting Lantern rings tattooed on my fingers (either Green/Blue together or Orange). Lots of ideas, just can't do them yet (soon hopefully).

 

[Hollock]

I wouldn't get one but I'd advise someone to get the goron symbol (it let's you lift bombflowers)

And tattoos are fine, as long as they aren't JOKES! Does anyone honestly think that a joke will stay funny for the rest of their lives?

For the record I picked orbital space lazer, because thats the coolest thing ever.

You completely captured my opinion on thing-of-the-moment tattoos. My gramps has a heart with a banner with the name of his former wife and a rose. He's with my grandma now, and the tattoo is faded down to merely a blob, but it's still there, a sour reminder...

Rule 1: Never tattoo names other than your parents'/kids'
Rule 2: Nothing that you like now, but doubt you'll like in the future

Therefore I have no tattoos yet, but plan on having them. Can't go full body or very visible, since I'm studying law, and who would hire a lawyer with a facial tattoo or something. I want something I can cover up when I want to...

I feel that scars are just tattoos with better stories, and I have so much my sex life usually goes something like this... 55 minutes of explaining every, cut, burn, bite, bruise, scar, and only 5 minutes of fun (explaining is too tiring).
