And that's just a small number of the people that have got the full sized tattoos in the same placement as Ellie's. There are also people getting mini versions of it on other parts of their body

I legit don't understand how GAF is this dense, based on both this thread and the clothing one lol

Getting a tattoo of a game that isn't released yet seems like a not-good idea. As much as one might have liked the TLOU, or felt an affinity for Ellie, you don't know how the character has changed, will develop or how you'll feel about her.
That's apart from things like whether the company behaves in a way that's fair, or if there are problematic bugs or microtransactions. Could any of those change how you feel about the tattoo?
Did anyone get an Andromeda tattoo before launch?

Eh, it's ambiguous enough that I don't think it matters. They could just like its design outside of the game or context.

The Hojo Mon would be the most subtle tattoo because people who play games would mistake it.
This is the closest thing I've seen to people getting a ton of 'launch' tattoos, but those are all staff members for The Old Republic so eh.
Still Bioware.
So you'll always think back to Pokémon Stadium's pre-battle select screen.
Looks like a bad tattoo artist that did it too the whole thing is crazy swollen.
That's why people should go to a skilled artist those will be honest with people, a artist that just wants money will put anything on a body.
The best worst one is black charmander:
Yes it's real no kidding.
Some people just hate themselves too much.
I was actually thinking about getting an N7 one on the chest, but I want to get other not gaming related tattoos first.
It's a body mod, some people have horns and shit like that. I find it disgusting.Looks like a bad tattoo artist that did it too the whole thing is crazy swollen.

Once worked with a dude who had a tattoo of Death Jr and Pandora.
I must say, the dust2 one is definitely subtle. To most he'll be "that crazy guy who got a tattoo of some random middle-eastern-looking town" instead of just being "that huge nerd."
I plan on getting this tattooed on my upperback, I feel like it's pretty subtle for the most part.
Looks tribal like not many people will connect that to a game.

Not gaming related but I had a classmate in Calc who had the derivative function on one arm and integral function on the other. Reminded me of full metal alchemist and looked amazing.

Please, please, do not get a corporate logo branded onto your body. Please. I implore you.
And if you do you better be getting a serious check for it.

I googled this awhile ago, seems like the kind I would get. Shadow of the Colossus is pretty subtle. I want something F-Zero related also....not sure what to get. Edit: This one of Mr Saturn seems pretty awesome too.

Not subtle as in "you can barely see", but more "ooo what does your tattoo mean" but I have the Halo of the Sun from Silent Hill 3 on my right forearm.

That's awesome. Dark souls was and is a massive part of my hobbies, definitely my favourite game. I'd like to get something subtle from DS1 one day.
Why not? I see people with sports, music or brand tattoos all the time, so I don't see the problem if it's tasteful and well done?
Thats a fair assessment.
Dark Souls 1 changed how I approach gaming forever.

Alright it's cringe because it's a really massive super saiyan Sonic tattoo, but damn that's a well-done tattoo. Looks like concept art.

Totally agree haha. That design is subtle and tasteful though, only ds players would get it, if that.
Super sonic has nothing to do with DBZ lol

I plan on getting a Suicide Squad Harley Quinn tattoo on my left thigh next ^^
I want a tat for every artistic medium I care about... but they all need to be punk and edgy! That's my requirement!
Pretty well done imo sure it screams video game but it does look well done indeed.

Well, I don't think there's really any reason to worry about TLoU
II quality. With that said, a big appeal of Ellie's tattoo is that it doesn't look like something from a video game. If someone saw it they wouldn't connect that to a game unless they've already seen it on Ellie's arm. It just looks like cool artwork.Get whatever tattoo you want, but make sure you've got the money to go to the right artists. Good tattoos are going to be expensive, especially if they're elaborate. But they're also something you shouldn't hesitate to pay for if you want a good tattoo. And that's something really important to keep in mind if you're getting tattoos with a face. That goes for any face really. You could end up with a tattoo like this
Although a good artists stepped in and fixed it for him for free
