Yes, another tattoo thread... But somewhat different!

Nice tattoo. I don't really care for Final Fantasy, but that's a charming piece of art you have there. Here are two of mine:

I don't have any videogame ones, all my tattoos tend to be oriental.

Judging by your avatar and username I was hoping you would have an HU tattoo

Theoretically, I'd love to get a tattoo. In reality? I've got three hang-ups. One, I'm a touch indecisive/fickle, so I'm a little terrified of instant, enormous regret. Two, I've seen way, way, way too many awful tattoos to approach the notion with anything short of great concern. Three, for some reason, I'd want to be in peak physical condition if I'm presenting my body as a canvas - and I am not.

Spoiler: But if I did get one?

That's about the best image of Destiny I've seen. If I could somehow guarantee satisfactory quality, I think a collection of all seven Endless would make for a fantastic tattoo.

Well, as far as your second concern goes, the terrible tattoos that you usually see on the internet are people who tried to get the best bargain possible on their tattoo. You see, tattoos are expensive, and typically the more you're going to be paying for a tattoo the better that tattoo is going to be. If you go to a really good tattoo artist there's really not much to worry about, whereas if you just go into a random tattoo parlor and drop $50 on the guy, you're going to have a bad time. Just remember, a good tattoo costs money, lots of money, thousands of dollars possibly depending on the size and complexity. If someone says that they can do a really complex design for you, and they're only looking for $200, be VERY wary of them. All in all, just do your research about the tattoo artists in question before you commit to a tattoo.

I am absolutely aching to get a tattoo done, but sadly I do not have the funds necessary right now. My plan is to start saving up some money now, and get a coloured full sleeve in a year from now, which would be my first tattoo.

I'm a fairly enthusiastic metal head, so it'd have to be something that conveys that sufficiently, like, you know, dragons and stuff. I'd also like to incorporate the triforce from Zelda to represent the gaming side of myself.

So yeah, my mom will most definitely kill me when I get it done.

I would love to get one, but I'm pretty sure the band reserves that right. xD

I know I use J-Dog as my avatar, but I thought my username was of my own creation. Is that like, the name of one of their songs or something?

Side note: J-Dog has my favorite masks. The new one is awesome.

i dont have any pictures, but i've got the bioshock chain on my left wrist, and a red and black rammstein logo + line work on my right upper arm.

both can be easily covered (longsleeve shirt/shirt and a watch) and i really like the looks on both. the bioshock was my first, and got that done properly. theres one slightly lighter part (less than 1mm) but that was because of healing process. the rammstein one however was done by a friend of a friend, and while the patterning and design are really good, her inks were not fantastic and she didn't go deep enough, so the blacks are ok, but the reds are a little faded in places. i'll get it touched up when i get my next one done though

edit: found the design i have, but its not on my back, right upper arm

If I ever did get a tattoo, it would probably be a mjolnir or the Trooper Eddie on my tricep. Having a full arm Jormungandr would be pretty neat as well.

Very good point. I work at a business that is very alternative/tattoo friendly, so a good percentage of the staff have 3-4 clearly visible pieces. They're almost all very well done, and I've paid close attention to how much money they've paid. Even knowing full well that you get what you pay for, I was shocked at some of the totals. Some of them TIPPED the artist more than what I'd suspected the entire tattoo cost. But it makes good sense; if you're going to put something on your body permanently, you'd want a true, respected, and in-demand artist to put it there - and in-demand means expensive.

Ha, I guess I'm not a true fan. The new masks are pretty badass all around, especially Funnyman's but there's just something about the originals.
