Poll: Game Tattoos

[fuckwit]

I'd get a CPU on my upper arm. Not specifically game-related, but it's computer-related.
Maybe I'd also get a lambda symbol. Both because I'm studying physics and chemistry and because it's the half-life logo.

I've been thinking about getting a tattoo of the Horde symbol from World of Warcraft....

 

[danosaurus]

I've never seen the point of paying someone to stab my skin repeatedly with an inky needle. There's something... masochist about it.

The ends always justify the means in regards to ink

I have the Horde Crest, from warcraft, on the back of my neck.

AAAAAaaaaahahahahahaaaa

easy there tiger!
secret lols at your lols.

i think something like that is WAY better than those idiots who walk into a parlor that does flash tattoos, points to a butterfly, dragon, tribal swirlies and says 'i want that.'

that drives me bloody nuts. luckily i found a parlor that won't do flash, so i don't have to get super angry too often.

The tribal one seems to be oh so common where I live, and the people who get them are just idiots and normally so uncultured it's painful to watch

GAH! I despise the tribal ones, mainly because they've got no intrinsic significance regarding the Caucasian douchebags that so proudly sport them on their fake-tanned biceps!

this is stupid, how sad do you have to be to have a tatoo of a game

The difference between me and you is that I'll be nice and hold my tongue and subjective opinions on 'Bullet For My Valentine', even though I do have very intelligent reasons to back up those opinions, whereas all you seem to have is a narrow-minded and derogatory sentence to back up yours.

I have the Half-Life Lambda on my shoulder.

Photos plzes?
That's a worthy tatt in my opinion ^_^

I'm going to get the Great Chain from BioShock on my wrist/lower arm whenever I can.
(Trying to make it as original as possible. My current idea is having a hand outstretched in the backround with the chain themselves.)

My dad has one rule about tattoos that he follows and I thought I should tell you. He doesn't let anything go below his elbow because then it can't be covered up as easily. Even if you do get the tattoo, I would recommend getting it above your elbow.

OT: I've been looking through some video games for tattoo ideas but I've yet to find one that I want on my body.

Although have considered Jin Kazama's (from Tekken) tattoo:

I have also thought about getting the Hylian logo except with olive branches around it. Kinda like this:

This is a quick image I made just to get the point across.

Although I'm only 16 anyway so I have a couple of years before I can even get one (My mom said no to getting one at 16).

I want to get a tattoo of the Lambda Symbol from HL2 on my right shoulder when I'm older. For me that represents not only a great game, but the will to fight for justice and what you believe in. Not sure if I want it to be the box art way, or the graffitti way though.

 

[historybuff]

I don't have any tatoos myself (I hear they're addicting) but it seems like gaming tatoos would be really hit and miss.

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

I'm probably never going to get a tattoo, but if I had to choose a game related one it would be Jin's from Tekken [http://www.gashaponrakuen.com/tekken09.JPG] on my left arm, or Jack's chain from Bioshock [http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs32/f/2008/205/8/b/BioShock_Jack_Chain_Tattoo_by_infernobat3330.jpg] on my wrist.

My philosophy is do you like it? If the answer is yes then it doesn't matter what anyone will think. I'm for all tattoos as long as they look good to the person its inked too. And I don't think all tattoos have to have a deeper meaning. A tattoo is art, a very permanent form of art but art none the less. Now the art in your room, this includes posters, do they all have some deep meaning? Usually not. I like my Umbrella tattoo. I know I'm not going to stop liking the series. And if my child, if and when I have one, ask me about it or any of my tattoos I'll explain just this. And if they want one when they are of age I will only have two request, no tramp stamp (just a joke) and no girlfriend/boyfriends name.

I've got a gamer mommy tattoo. My son's name is Locke Douglas, Locke after the video game character in FF6 and Douglas for Douglas Adams. I'm a gamer chick (and into vintage games), so I wanted a bit of my personality in my tattoo, so I've got the sprite from FF6 and my son's name and birthdate.

A friend of mine. Apparently it is based on artwork for WoW. There is more on his chest and right leg.

Bit excessive if you ask me.

It's blended nicely and all but they don't make sense o.0 I don't see anythign Wow related and can't make heads or tails of it all.. i see a wizard..a knight.. a castle a biohazard symbol..some lightning im guessing and some like..shapes and shades in between.

Thanks!
The way I see it, boyfriends/husbands/significant others may come and go, but my son will always be my son.

And to all the "it hurts, it's permanent" tattoo naysayers out there - childbirth hurt more, and its just as permanent.

Besides, I get "cool mommy" props. Now for the stories of showing off the tattoo to the CEO of Pokemon USA during dinner at a 4-star restaurant...

How so?

This is true with all forms of body art ^_^

I honestly don't think tattoos hurt as much as they're made out to be? One of my friends told me it was like enduring 1000 papercuts at the same time, that's probably the exaggeration of the century.
I found I was actually calm and relaxed at points during the inking!
