Subtle gamer tattoos

Damn, some of you are dense.

If I ever tatoo myself it will be a whale and a bowl of petunias, but I'm scared of doing it anyways.

"Can you design me a tattoo"

"Sure, what are you after"

"Triforce"

????????

Just like the 1000+ Zelda fans before you? Why not.

Honestly i first wanted one aswell but then thought nah i rather have a few characters i like then be the 1001th with a Triforce tat.

Glad i did and glad i actually did go to a skilled artist. Saving money on tattoos is crazy anyway. Still don't regret it love them to death.

Heck my own family and friends said why so expensive you could have got them cheaper, yeah that would look like some of the ones in this thread no thanks.

I'm not a fan of Zelda lol, just responding to that dude with an example that I know is common. My argument is just as valid as one for a character, boss, clan logo from an RPG, weapon etc. His argument means he thinks you shouldn't have your character tattoos either, so I don't know why you're replying to me.

don't get video game tattoos

No i ment as a added sentence to your post sorry forgot to add "

And the second part should be separate.
If you google triforce tattoo there are many results:P thats why i said that when i qouted you the rest is not ment as a reaction to you.
Because that artist could have might set several other before because it's one of the most done video game tats.

My English is not that great so i can see why it did not ment what i ment exactly
 
Tbh I've been tempted to get a Dragon Age related tattoo for a while.
I'd get one of the symbols/sigils since I think they look awesome but aren't obviously from a video game, plus most of them are simple so they could be done small

I'm an indecisive coward though :P
 

Did this symbol mean something originally? Because the tattoo is different from the image on the right. She doesn't have the horizontal part extending from the left about 3/4th's of the way up. I understand it looks better but I'm just curious if this was supposed to be something on its own originally and they cut a part out of it for aesthetic purposes.

And she has some bits added on the bottom and top as well.
 
Ah fuck dude I just realized you can see the scar for poke ball guy's implants right next to the tattoo

Fuck, did they just shove that shit down the entire length of his forearm? Uggghhhh
 
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?

Yeah, good point. Ellie might have turned into a white supremacist or something, then everyone's fucked.
 
jfc, I can definitely see how some people are disgusted by tattoos in general after scrolling through the ones in the OP.
Also it's been a while since I saw a pic of a body mod; getting one for a shitty poke ball tattoo tho? Ewww
 
These threads are always so cringeworthy, half because of the content and half because of the geniuses who post "Wow OP these aren't subtle at all are you trolling?"
 

This one is the best. I can imagine him holding up his right arm to show it off to friends....it says CRASH. "Oh cool, I guess...." everyone surmises. Then he holds up his left arm....it says BANDICOOT 2. Everyone shifts their eyes back and forth, thinking "What the fuck?"
 
There are tattoo artists who design tattoos?

Or you could just get the artist to draw everything you tell us not to get so it works as a tattoo, that's what I did and they all look awesome as they're designed to fit on my body but obviously you know best so I'll go and get them all lasered off.
 
Sometimes I think about getting a L'Cie tattoo from FFXII/=I on my wrist
I have this on my upper arm.

Had it for a few years now and I still love it, I think it looks cool and tribal enough to look like a normal tattoo for anyone who doesn't know, and is a great conversation starter with anyone who does.
 
Good god....that pokéball body mod one is the stuff from nightmares. Why the fuck would you do that?! Jesus!
