Game tattoos

[Mirai Gen]

I understand before it's even SAID that some people will not like tattoos, so we can get that out of the way, alright?

But my point is, are there any sort of cool tattoos you always wanted that had something to do from a video game? For example;
Not bad.

The Symobl of Torment from Planescape:Torment. Very cool.

[MuMu]

Hitman's Agency Logo is pretty cool and I always wanted that Full Metal Alchemist symbol(The snake on the cross). Damn it was so cool!

[Zeldias]

I'd always kinda wanted the Soul Eater rune from Suikoden tattooed on my arm. And a smaller version of that huge red dragon on Darugon's (SP?) back from the Bouncer.

[dojindog]

Those are pretty awesome I think if I ever got a tatoo it would be a tatoo with like I <3 Link or something on an inconspicuous location (Yeah that's right that inconspicuous location).:whee:

[Mondt]

Once able to get tattoos, a cool one would be Vincent Valentine's chain pendant. Somrwhere like shoulder, arm, back or something.

[PyrosNine]

If I could stand the pain and my overwhelming fear of needles, I would love to have the triforce of courage on my right hand. Y'know, even add the two sillouettes of the other two triforces so it's clearly the courage one.

Me? Obsessed? Nuh-uh. YOU'RE LYING!

[Chipper173]

I want a Metroid somewhere on my body. Maybe on my back.

[MuMu]

You could put it in the back of your head, like if it was sucking your energy...

[Lockeownzj00]

Shit. Those are the two most un-cliche, cool-ass game tattoos I've seen in a while. I was expecting a pac man or something.

I'd have to get at least two. One would be a moogle, and the other...well, I'm not sure about the other.

But, I do remember seeing a guy with a full-length Chrono tattoo on his thigh once.

That was fuckin' badass.

[ElfLad]

I'd like the Triforce of POWER!

Because I keep forgetting which one is Courage and which one is Wisdom, so I might come out of the tattoo parlor and be all "Yar, I'm Link!" and then some guy would be all "lol, dood, ur Zelda," and I'd be all ":O" so yeah.

Either that or I'd get Red XIII on my bicep.

[Mirai Gen]

Yeah, the more I look at the Ness tattoo, the cooler it seems to me.

But it just seems really awkward when compared with the usual type of person who gets a tattoo.

"This is mah hunny. I got her name branded on me, shows REAL love..."
"Yeah? I got this from a japanese game series! Check this 2D Sprite! Badass, huh?"

Didn't add up.

In a related note, I've always entertained ideas of Photoshopping an Everquest nerd with the EverQuest Experience bar on their chest. It just sounded funny.

I always thought Baiken from GGXX had a pretty cool facial tattoo. Clicky (http://pub.tenkuu.net/Images/baiken_oc2.jpg), or clicky. (http://www.ice-and-dark.net/idnar/gallery/baiken.jpg)

These (http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial_s&q=prince+of+persia+symbol&btnG=Search) would be a nifty tattoo to go on the arm. Prince of Persia;Sands of Time. Or the Dagger of Time. It'd look cool on my forearm.

[Chipper173]

Well, my hair is kinda shaggy, so you wouldn't really be able to see it.

[Buddha Fett]

I know this one's already been said, but i'd like to get the Triforce on my right hand (i'm thinking all three, as I always forget which is which).

That, or a chocobo on my bicep.

..what?

[EVILNess]

Mirai, you... are... my... hero...

There is no bounds to your coolness at the moment. I think I have made it abundantly clear that Earthbound is my MOST FAVORITE GAME EVER.

So yeah. If I were an isolated south american tribe of pigmies, I would so worship you as my God.

[Mirai Gen]

I...didn't get those tattoos, if that's what you're referring to.

no, I'm actually kind of pleased with the Ness one, the more I look at it though.

[EVILNess]

Oh.

Sorry for the semi-creepy remarks about making you my own personal pygmy god.

Still, all other remarks about the Tat remain relevant.

[Mirai Gen]

Forgiven. I'm debating if an Earthbound tattoo would be too geeky.

[Lockeownzj00]

I wouldnt want it so big though. Large pixel tattoos look weird. I'm trying to think what would be a good homage to Earthbound on my body. Dr. Andonuts? New Age Retro Hippy? Starman Jr. ? Perhaps the tat would be of the famous clay models, rather than pixels? The Runaway Five?

Hmm...

[Grandmaster_Skweeb]

Tch, no man. MISTER SATURN!

[Mirai Gen]

Tch, no man. MISTER SATURN!
I concur. Mr. Saturn really are as much of a staple of the game as Ness himself (or at least until Mother 3 is out). Mr Saturn would be great.

[Bells]

nobody tryed to tatoo the transformers symbol?!

the Star from super mario (a basic) ?

[Mirai Gen]

I'm debating between a Maximal or Autobot logo, myself. That'd be nice on the upper arm.

[Grandmaster_Skweeb]

If I get a tattoo it'd be something from the Oddworld series.

[Mirai Gen]

Wow, those are pretty badass.

As I was saying, I think I want a tattoo like Rattrap.

[PurpleMage]

I've given it some thought and I think I'd like to have the nintendo logo:

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/Natnotgnat/nintendo-logo_large.jpg

It'd look pretty nice on my upper back.
Not to say I'm a hardcore nintendo fan it's just that i've always liked nintendo the best.

Or hell even a sega logo with a halo over it. Poor sega.

[Rhyos]

I've been very tempted to get a tattoo for a while. If I were to get one, I would HAVE to get a Bob-omb on my right shoulder, right where it connects with the arm, top of the bicep.

Other possibilities are a Decepticon logo *I WILL replace my Saturn logos in my car with Decepticon ones, damnit!* and quite possibly a Thief sprite on the back of my right shoulder. :thief:

Edit: Found a link with some game tattoo examples.

[mammothtank]

My tattoo, if I had one?

http://www.cnc-inside.de/standarticons/TD/gdi.gif

Definitely.

[Fifthfiend]

I just realized I've gone my entire life up to this point without getting a Chrono Trigger tattoo.

Damn, I'm gonna have to work on that.

Why couldn't Crono have had, like, a Keyblade or some shit? That would've made this a lot easier.

[Bob the Mercenary]

I've always found this attractive.

[Krylo]

Fifth: The Chrono Trigger clock "C" or the Epoch's time menu thingie would work alright for a tattoo.

Also, not actually a game tattoo (or maybe it is, what with the FMA games out), but if I had pipes like Scar's I'd totally get the philosopher stone all over my right arm.

[Flarecobra]

I wouldn't mind the Imperial Guard symbol, perhaps on my ankle.

[spazzhands]

I want the nintendo seal of quality tatooed on the back of my neck... It would mean that you could "put" me in a nintendo console and it wouldn't catch fire, or explode!

failing that, I want a barcode on the back of my head like Mr 47... I'd even shave myself bald just for that!

[Art of Hilt]

Perhaps if I was drunk or hit on the head enough, I wouldn't mind an Alexander Esper sprite on my shoulder. <___< Or... any one of the badass looking Espers, really.

Or maybe a Kefka sprite tattoo so that I could show the world my shameless fanboyism! =O And he'd be laughing and stuff.


You could put it in the back of your head, like if it was sucking your energy...

That would make a great hat, actually...
I wonder if someone already made that hat...
*Goes off to accomplish the goal of a lifetime to find a Metroid hat*

[The Wandering God]

Possibly something from Xenogears.

But the only thing I can think of is that giant red X.

Not quite a gaming tatoo, but I've always wanted to get one that has the small c with the circle around it signifying copyright, and right after, 1983, my birth year. I dunno why, it's always tickled my fancy. On my shoulder blade or inner thigh (just like the G.I. Joe action figures that came out in the early 90's.)

The only other game I'd want to be inked from would have to be FFVIII. Yup, the dark sheep of the FF family in my opinion. Then again, I am too :D. Don't worry, FFVIII, I'll always love you.

What?

...

:sweatdrop

The Wandering God

[Bob the Mercenary]

TWG, you just gave me an awesome idea. I want the Vector Industries logo on my arm like the realians in Xenosaga! =D

[MuMu]

TWG, you can put the King's emblem(The one in the "nose" of the Yggdrasil).

[Magus]

I'd probably go for the FOXHOUND tat from MGS, that'd be sweet.

[ElfLad]

I'm surprised at the lack of people who think the Triforce of Power would be badass.

I'd also like to get a simplified Hyrule Shield design on my bicep.

[Althane]

IF I got a tattoo (and that is a big if), it'd probably be either of some sword (Master Sword, Muramasa, Masamune... one of those. Possibly Heron Sword from WoT) or a logo. I find FOXHOUND's logo to be particually appealing, though the Triforce wouldn't be bad.

Or a mushroom in the right place. ;)

[Mondt]

Well, if books based off of game stories counts... -_-

See the crescant and the runes? Yeah. Upper back. That would be awesme.

Edit:

Given enough, time, body space, and money, this would pwnz0r my face off. And, y'know, a really, really, really, really, really good tattoo artist-person.

[Deathosaurus Wrecks]

if i ever meet a chick with the 'S' logo from Metroid tattoo'd on her, i'm proposing to her on the spot.

[Fifthfiend]

Fifth: The Chrono Trigger clock "C" or the Epoch's time menu thingie would work alright for a tattoo.

Thought of the first one, seemed too obvious. The latter, though, maybe.

EDIT I think the main issue is the place for that'd be the left shoulder, and I've already got something there.

Somehow it seems like on the right shoulder it'd just be weird looking.

... You know, I wonder how many people decide they decide they should have gotten their tattoo in a different place, six years after they got it?

[yobacimonaf]

Woah, that Ness one is badass.

If I were to ever get a tattoo with something videogame related on it (unlikely) it'd prolly be something like the Screw Attack icon from Metroid.
Or maybe the Ice Climbers in their 8-bit glory. That'd be pretty sweet as well.

[Bonus Eruptus]

How about this one?

Do I get a finder's fee?

[Mirai Gen]

Go Bonus.

Get to IMing, Deathosaurus.

[CelesJessa]

Likewise, I think it would be cool to get an oroboros tatoo somewhere, or the elric symbol.

But I'm not the type for tatoos. Needles and all of that.

Eh, I mean, it looks like it hurts, but really once you start, it hurts worse than anything you can possibly imagine.

And then you sit there taking it, for hours, and then you pay fucking money to the guy that did it to you.

I mean I'll be honest, it's not for everybody.

EDIT: On a related note, anyone got a decent screenshot or anything of that time-select screen from CT. I'm really starting to think about this one, but I can't actually find a picture of that, Google image-search be damned. Although I am kinda starting to warm to the idea of getting the 'C'.

[Mondt]

So, it's not even like a steaming hot bath where you sit there for two minutes, wondering why the fuck you made it this hot, then it gets better?

Well, until you move, anyway.

Edit: On the talk of FMA, I'd get one of those super-detailed Transmutation Circles right under my collarbone. That'd be l33t.

Yeah. It deserved leetspeak.

[IHateMakingNames]

fifth, you mean this screen?

Yes, quite, thank you.

Huh, I guess it's more or less exactly the same as the title-screen C.

Well, that may have to be it, then.
