tattoos and games

I could tattoo Prey 2 onto myself, but my descent into madness over that game should only go so far.
 
Nope. Not opposed to Tattoos (I don't have the skin for it) but the idea of getting a Game Tattoo of all things just seems like something that one might look back upon with a certain amount of chagrin later on in life.

Yeah I think i'm in the same boat as in I don't think more or less of a person if they have video game tattoos. Granted alot are cringe but some are pretty cool. I don't think I would get a tattoo myself but to each his own.

Hey, I also like Life is Strange also, but I think the fundamental problem with games as media is that the medium is still evolving at such a rate that what wows us one day will seem antiquated and archaic in 10 or 20 years and so as far as references go it will be largely lost on people. I'm all for celebrating games, but personally, I prefer to do it through buying concept Art books and the like (in fact I recently bought the Blackwell Academy book).
 
I have a Yakuza tattoo (The Hannya Mask of Majima).
I have a Shenmue tattoo (one of the Four Wude).
I have not one but two Berserk tattoos (ok, a manga first and foremost but still; the Brand of Sacrifice and a majestic Behelit).

Im failing at live only by not having at least a couple more I have in mind.

Ok those all sound really cool lol. The full Back Yakuza Tattoos are works of art in my eyes lol.
 
I have a Final Fantasy VII themed full sleeve on my left arm, it has summons on the bottom half Shiva, Ifrit, Ramuh, and Bahamut, so unless you know what they are it looks more abit ambiguous. On the top part of the sleeve its Cloud with his buster sword and at the very top is Cloud's Fenrir wolf.

On my right arm I've been wanting to do a Nintendo themed sleeve, I get gaming tattoos and tattoos in general aren't for everyone but for me personally I don't really give a shit what people think, I did it cause I enjoy them. I also designed part of my current sleeve until I trusted my artist enough to let him piece together some stuff and he was fantastic, I was recommended to him. Everything that was done, we placed and talked about together before, colours, sizing, background design.

It took about 30-35hrs to complete, I'm able to sit for about 6hrs max, then my pain receptors just kinda go away and aren't much help anymore, especially with colour as the needles used to put that in are about 6 needles combined into one.
