I got my first tattoo last year, inspired by my favorite game in the world!
Here's a picture of it from when I got it, sorry that I don't have a more recent one.

same OP, after all
Reminds me of that scene in "Fanboys" where Seth Rogen's character was so hyped for episode 1 that he got a Jar Jar tattoo
Sabrewulf from Killer Instinct makes for a mean-looking tattoo.
That's fucking awesome. I literally did the "Conan leaning forward in his seat" move when I saw that.
Edit: This one of Mr Saturn seems pretty awesome too.
Yeah, for years I have thought that if I ever do get a tattoo, it'll be Mr. Saturn just like this. I think it looks great.
This thread at large is really something else though. That MGS tattoo is so ironic. He's making it public by getting it tattooed on his body!

Well that's upside down. There's no personal opinion in it, it's just wrong.
Source: own a tattoo studio.

Hes better off not knowing at this point. It's like people with animals facing against flow.

Is the OP the same as the one that made that 'subtle' gaming clothes thread?
Regardless, this thread, and that older one, confuse the hell out of me. Where does the sarcasm begin and where does it end?!
Also the Pokémon tattoo in the OP looks heinous and painful

Been thinking for the past year to get a journey tattoo, probably the 4th level clothing pattern, probably on my leg:
Alright.. these are actually pretty awesome tattoos. Although you have to see them from an exact angle to see them as intended.
I like the sim one better than ryu. Don't think I could have that kind of tattoo on my arm.

The second I saw it I knew it would finally dethrone the triforce as the most basic tattoo in gamer culture. I mean it would be subtle...If it wasn't one of the most anticipated game in years.
Okay sorry, got it now. Horrible triforce:
My brother and I were drinking tequila, and he convinced me that he had been tattooing people all over town. So i figured what the heck why not. It started out okay, got worse as it got slanted. He then proceeded to try coloring it in and I was like NOPE. Turns out he had been tattooing himself all over and I hadn't noticed. I was the first person other than himself he had tattooed. Thankfully I was also the last person he also tattooed.
I've kept it for the memory though, bad as it is it's still something from my younger brother.

Honestly thinking of getting this just in black on my wrist. Without the text obviously.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
That would be one hell of a weird tattoo...

I like Overwatch, alot. For a minnute there I thought of starting a a lower forearm half Sleeve with Mercy's phrase, "Heroes Never Die" across the forearm with the O being the overwatch Symbol and just adding one spray per character down the road.
Instead I think I may just get the Logo in its loading version in Trash Polka Style somewhere instead

So subtle.

It's just a fun hobby, not something the defines me as a person. I don't need the whole world to identify me as a "Gamer" by getting tattoos of game stuff. Also, a lot of the times game art just isn't good out of context, like inked on a person.

Black Triforce the size of my thumb, if anything, ever. Videogames are not good things to permanently imbibe your skin for.
This is important to remember. I'm not a walking stereotype and videogames are pretty low on the rung of things that define who I am.

My "subtle" gaming related tattoo.
Its gaming related but to most people it's just a design.

I saw this tweet and thought of this thread. I actually think it's pretty cool.

When people look at your person its going to be upside down though. It's like wearing a shirt with an upside design on it just so you can see it for your own looking pleasure.
It's your tattoo and your reasons for getting it that way is your own choice. It's just going to look incredibly silly to everyone else.
That means your tattoos are upside down.

Not gaming.... But this thread has inspired me to get another star wars tattoo... So I'm at the studio now.
To be fair, there are more Star Wars games than Star Wars movies.
For when you want Ryu, Popeye, Bruce Lee or whatever masturbating you.
I hadn't thought of this, but now I'm thinking about this.
What joke?

nothin in the OP or most of the replies is remotely subtle.

Little bit of a bump since I'm getting one of my own. I already have 3 on me, but none of them are gaming related. This one is however:
The subtlety to it comes from the fact that I'm a gemini. This image can easily be looked at as the duality aspect of that horoscope sign. Or if you are a gamer, you will know this is from Persona.

Read the thread, barely found 2 legitimate ones.
This one I like. It had more thought go into it than whacking a triforce on your arm, plus in contrast to most of the thread it is actually subtle for a game-related tattoo.
This one is acceptable if you don't have the writing. It's still borderline "edgy" to get the mark of an assassin guild from a game tattooed on you, but it's your body.I'll probably do the "We know" mark on my lower left arm at some point this or next year.
