Title: Gaming Tattoos Post by: schild on May 30, 2007, 11:18:11 PM Inspired by a thread at NeoGAF where there are too many god awful tattoos to even talk about it.
I wanna get 1. Or 5. No clue where. No clue what. Inspire me. (http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/9863/artatma01mj0.jpg) I'm leaning towards one of the DDS tattoos on one of my shoulders. Or small, on the inside of my wrist. Really though, I plan to lose weight and I don't want a tattoo where any of that could happen, so shoulders might be out for now. I'm not opposed to pussy places for tattoos like ankles and shit. Discuss! Fight! Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Wolf on May 30, 2007, 11:26:34 PM I have a friend that has the best gaming tatoo. His whole hand, from the wrist to the shoulder + the shoulder blade and a bigger part of his breast (??) is covered in art from American McGee's Alice. Words don't do it Justice, I'll try and find a picture of it.
edit: http://community.livejournal.com/gamingtattoos/3176.html - there it is. I exaggerated a bit, but seeing it live is fucking impressive :) Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: schild on May 30, 2007, 11:42:39 PM I sorta have to get a tattoo from a game that was fun to play though. One day, when I hit my desired weight, I will get my full back with the starting screen from Metroid.

Quite honestly, some of the best game junk to get permanently etched into your skin would be 8 bit sprites. Not a whole starting screen (which would take a while, be hecka expensive and take multiple sittings), but maybe something like just Samus or just Link or a Koopa or whatever. The 8-bit stuff should be easy for any artist to pull off without taking liberties, and should ideally survive any bodily expansion/reduction without too much distortion. Also, it's easy to get touched up when the colors start to fade. I also advise against stuff like the inside of the wrist if you ever endeavor to have a job where that may be an issue. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: bhodi on May 31, 2007, 06:29:18 AM So "L I N K" on the knuckles might not be the best idea?
Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Big Gulp on May 31, 2007, 06:33:30 AM I'm leaning towards one of the DDS tattoos on one of my shoulders. Or small, on the inside of my wrist. Really though, I plan to lose weight and I don't want a tattoo where any of that could happen, so shoulders might be out for now. I'm not opposed to pussy places for tattoos like ankles and shit. Discuss! Fight! Get your ass to Michigan and I'll hook you up. ETA: Shoulders should be fine, regardless of weight gain/loss. Unless you're the dude on Jerry Springer whose mom hoses him down like Shamu this shouldn't even be a concern for you. The chest would also be fine, and so would back pieces. For men our only real concern in that area is around the stomach. Everything else is fairly safe except for the grossly obese. I have tattooed fat people, and the worst thing about it is getting the skin tight. Putting an arm band on a fat guy is a painful procedure for 'em because the only way I know how to really get that skin tight is to grab the inside of the arm and pull on it like you're lifting up a puppy by the scruff of the neck; the two finger spread method isn't exactly optimal for that kind of work. On the other hand, it does take your mind off of the tattoo. :evil: Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Miasma on May 31, 2007, 06:46:38 AM I would go for something that while video game related would still look good even if you didn't know what it was (or for when you're 45 and have gone off games entirely). Something either mean or abstract. They can't tattoo white can they? If they can maybe the Okami Wolf? The Deus Ex logo is also abstract enough and would look good even if you had no idea as to its origins, but again it has some white in it.

Nope, do it all the time, especially for highlights. White is tricky, though, because it's easily contaminated by other colors, so you can't just rinse your tube and needle when switching between colors like you can most of the time. You have to use a new needle and tube (not a big deal, disposable tubes are like $1 each) to keep that white white. For black people you usually have to have them come back a month later to redo the white, because after the first application it'll only be creamy (like a white person's skin tone). Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Signe on May 31, 2007, 07:00:33 AM I think you should get a fingerstache. It ALWAYS makes me giggle!

Deus Ex logo really should've been a no-brainer. Gulp, the idea of going to Michigan is scary. Not because I'd be flying out for a tattoo, but because of the possibility of running into Axel Foley. This is going to be like a 6 month decision also. Ookii wants to get a tattoo as well. Not to mention one of my other friends. So. Yea. It's hard to live in AZ without tattoos. Everyone fucking has them. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: NiX on May 31, 2007, 07:28:22 AM I just got my first tattoo. Painful as a mother fucker, but that's because I'm skinny as a rail. I make thin girls feel fat. Now I want another and thought about a game one on the inside of my wrist. I blame Gulp for all of this...
Gulp: Had I know you were just in Michigan I probably could've convinced my girlfriend to go on a road trip down there with me. God damnit. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Triforcer on May 31, 2007, 08:08:34 AM (http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/images/news_image.jpg)
Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: murdoc on May 31, 2007, 08:12:14 AM I just got my first tattoo about 3 months ago too, on the inside of my forearm. No pain whatsoever. It felt like I was just scratching a bad sunburn.
I need to get it fixed up a bit, the guy doing it warned me that my skin was different then most he tattoos. Some parts he'd just have to do one line to get the nice black color, then on the same letter, he'd have to go over a line 4 or 5 times to get the same depth of black. The last couple of letters closer to the crook of my elbow need to be fixed as they have some spots where the ink didn't really take that well and it looks a bit faded. My wife is very worried that now that I have one, I'll want more (which I do) Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Signe on May 31, 2007, 08:16:24 AM (http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/images/news_image.jpg) Put it on your penis and make it: Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. (hehe. Look how long I made your penis. And it's like a double joke. HA!) Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Yegolev on May 31, 2007, 08:53:38 AM Signe beat me.
Saw a guy once with the TriForce on the back of his hand, but it was black. Maybe you can get a Judgement Ring on your back. Or around each nipple. I am not going to get any tattoos because that would keep me from retiring to Orlando and getting a job at Walt Disney World. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Sky on May 31, 2007, 09:09:34 AM I never got a tattoo because when everyone has tattoos, not having a tat is rebellious. ;)
Almost got the Notre Dame fighting Irish on my shoulder, though. Got kicked out of the parlor on the sunset strip for being too inebriated, though. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: voodoolily on May 31, 2007, 09:12:46 AM Do NOT get an ankle tat. Ankle tats are for dumn sluts. The bicep should be okay, because you're not likely to drop too much girth from that area if you incorporate a wee bit of strength training into your weight-loss plan (which you should!).
I really am wafflilng about getting this as a tattoo, but prolly never will: (http://www.zeldafront.nl/images/makar.jpg) Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: schild on May 31, 2007, 09:18:59 AM I never got a tattoo because when everyone has tattoos, not having a tat is rebellious. ;) Almost got the Notre Dame fighting Irish on my shoulder, though.

Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Chimpy on May 31, 2007, 09:36:46 AM You should get a tattoo of a butt, with a tattoo of a butt on it, on your butt.
Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Signe on May 31, 2007, 09:45:15 AM You should get a tattoo of a butt, with a tattoo of a butt on it, on your butt. Brilliant. I :heart: butts! Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Merusk on May 31, 2007, 09:54:09 AM I never got a tattoo because when everyone has tattoos, not having a tat is rebellious. ;) Hey, you just described why I stopped wearing my earring. I've also considered shaving the VanDyke for the same reason, but I look about 10 years younger without it. I'm not quite to the age that's a good thing. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Baldrake on May 31, 2007, 10:06:16 AM 20 years from now, there is going to be a whole generation of people really regretting those tatoos that seemed so trendy at the time...
Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Chimpy on May 31, 2007, 10:12:45 AM 20 years from now, there is going to be a whole generation of people really regretting those tatoos that seemed so trendy at the time... I think part of why tattoos are so popular now is that you can actually effectively get them removed without a huge burn scar. People subconciously use that as an argument towards why getting one will not have consequence later in life. I have nothing against tattoos, I have thought about getting one for years. But the kind of crap that some people get just to "look cool" these days really is annoying. (this is not aimed at anyone here btw...just a general societal commentary) Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Bunk on May 31, 2007, 10:21:05 AM Do NOT get an ankle tat. Ankle tats are for dumn sluts. :-o Lilly called my sister a slut!!! Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Nonentity on May 31, 2007, 10:23:06 AM You should get a tattoo of a butt, with a tattoo of a butt on it, on your butt. Clearly, you have seen many episodes of Beavis and Butthead. In all honesty, though, I'm with Miasma on this one. Don't go for something completely overt, like a giant 'GTA 4 LIFE DAWG' on the back, with a picture of CJ diving through a window with two uzis. Okay, wait, that's a pretty awesome tattoo. No, but like, a subtle reference, where if you were a gamer, you'd get it. I already have the twin crescents of the A Perfect Circle logo between my shoulder blades. I've been toying with the idea of getting the Bloodlust logo right underneath it: (http://www.thenonentity.com/mcd.jpg) Oh, wait, wrong picture. (http://www.thenonentity.com/bloodlust.gif) I drew a stylized version of that on paper, and it's attached to my monitor here at work. I think that the little logo (minus the cliche blood dripping from it) would be pretty bitchin'. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Chimpy on May 31, 2007, 10:25:01 AM Do NOT get an ankle tat. Ankle tats are for dumn sluts. :-o Lilly called my sister a slut!!! Mine too! Of course, she is probably right in that observation. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: schild on May 31, 2007, 10:26:00 AM I could never get a band logo as a tattoo. The moment they start getting shitty, I'd have to change it to wino forever.
Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Nonentity on May 31, 2007, 10:29:02 AM Eh, even the logo is cool.
Unless every single band member gets arrested for child molestation, and a band of cultists starts using the logo, I don't see myself changing it. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Sky on May 31, 2007, 11:23:33 AM I think you need a hello kitty tramp stamp.
Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Nebu on May 31, 2007, 12:43:25 PM 20 years from now, there is going to be a whole generation of people really regretting those tatoos that seemed so trendy at the time... I think it depends on the motivation. I've had my tribal armband (it's a series of waves with Orcas jumping) for almost 20 years and I don't regret it at all. It signifies an important moment in my life. Everytime I look at it, I remember the time, the pain, and the experience and always have good memories. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Zedword on May 31, 2007, 12:46:52 PM You should get a tattoo of a butt, with a tattoo of a butt on it, on your butt. Brilliant. I :heart: butts! And I can not lie. You other gamers can't deny. And when a girl walks by with an itty bitty waist and a rounded polygon in my face i get sprung --Zedword, deep in his jeans Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: NiX on May 31, 2007, 12:50:43 PM I just got my first tattoo about 3 months ago too, on the inside of my forearm. No pain whatsoever. It felt like I was just scratching a bad sunburn. Mine hurt cause it was on my back. There's a reason why they say skinny people have "chicken wings" when they push their arms back. My tattoo was done on some areas that have 0 fat and it felt like someone was chiseling my bone away. Other places felt like light scratching. All depends on where. You should get one on your ribs next, tough guy ;P Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: murdoc on May 31, 2007, 01:08:52 PM You should get one on your ribs next, tough guy ;P No way, that would HURT. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Merusk on May 31, 2007, 02:23:20 PM Do NOT get an ankle tat. Ankle tats are for dumn sluts. :-o Lilly called my sister a slut!!! Could be worse. You could go off about 'tramp stamps' and your opinion of them (while using the term) in front of your sister-in-law and her parents, only to find she'd gotten one since the last time you'd seen her. I had a laugh. They weren't amused. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Big Gulp on May 31, 2007, 02:24:34 PM 20 years from now, there is going to be a whole generation of people really regretting those tatoos that seemed so trendy at the time... Not for me at least, and my learning method was pig's feet--->my own legs--->buddies of mine. Do my legs have some of my beginner "not so stellar" work on 'em? Oh yes, indeedy. Personally, I just don't care. I can point exactly to where I learned how to really blend colors, where I finally got the confidence to work with the needles out, etc. That's worth more to me than pristine legs. My biggest problem right now is coming up with a consistent theme for my sleeves, because my arms are still pretty damned bare. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: schild on May 31, 2007, 02:47:32 PM You should come to Arizona in July and tattoo ALL OF US.
:P. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Big Gulp on May 31, 2007, 03:06:04 PM You should come to Arizona in July and tattoo ALL OF US. :P. The problem is that you can't fly with fluids, hence I could bring my machines, caps, tubes, needles, etc. But no ink. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Furiously on May 31, 2007, 03:21:54 PM India ink and pins for the win! That's what all mine are from.
And I think Schild should get controller buttons on his wang. Actually. I think this might fit him better.... In these colors...

If you guys pool together to buy the ink (I'll give you a link to the site I buy my stuff from) I can probably pull this off. Oh, and I can also send you some shots of my work and drawings if you're nervous. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Yoru on May 31, 2007, 04:17:50 PM You can fly with fluids - they just have to be in checked baggage, not carryon.

And if I did, well...it's of something that would take far too much time to explain. Anyway, way too many people around here where I live have Really Fucking Stupid Tattoos. Like my buddy has some kinda queer wing...thing, on the back of one shoulder, and a big picture of NJ and a star of where he lives on the other. I think they're both incredibly fucking stupid, but he's into all that punk emo scene and whatthefuckever. I don't deny that some tats can look really fucking sweet; I just don't want one on me. I feel the same way about dying my hair, if that explains anyway. Unfortunately, most tats around here I see are either really dumb, or really generic. Like the barbed wire or scallop "tribal' band around the arm, because it "looks cool" (not bashing on Nebu's whose probably looks different and has actual meaning). Also: It's hard to live in AZ without tattoos. Everyone fucking has them. This sounds like an Incredibly Terrible AND Fucking Stupid reason to get a tattoo. Or do anything, really. What, are you back in high school or something? Peer pressure? You should want to get a tatt, because you want to get a tatt. It's all fun and games until you are past 30-some years old, and you have a piece of graffiti stuck on you somewhere that doesn't even mean anything anymore....or looks fucking stupid, or both. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: schild on May 31, 2007, 05:08:09 PM I've wanted a tat for years.
It's just been something I haven't been allowed to do because I thought my parents wanted me buried in a Jewish cemetery. The realization that my parents did not care about that and my location made that want grow like fire. It's sort of like catholic school girls and sex that way. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Strazos on May 31, 2007, 05:10:40 PM Context helps.

The only think you need a lot of is black, and Kuro Sumi ink comes in 10 oz bottles for like, $20. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Lantyssa on May 31, 2007, 05:41:12 PM Very impressive.

Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Big Gulp on May 31, 2007, 05:44:18 PM You're a good artist! Shouldn't you be more emo-like? A) Not an artist. I'm a guy who can draw.

Hehe. Well, it's not an easy thing to do, so I figured, why not butcher myself first? ETA: Don't worry about me killing you. I'm paranoid about blood borne pathogens, so I change my gloves constantly, use disposable tubes, needles are single use of course, and I bag my machines and clip cord.And their response is one of two things "Is he crazy will he kill us all?" and "I'M DOWN." Heh. Quote And I wouldn't do it, but I hope someone gets Poe one day. Yeah, I want to do portrait work one day, but I'm leery of it. Most people want loved ones, and that's something I definitely wouldn't want to get half-assed. It's one thing doing a portrait on paper, and another thing altogether with a needle jumping up and down. Someday, but my comfort level isn't quite there, yet.Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: voodoolily on May 31, 2007, 06:25:20 PM Dude. THis is THE ONE.

You have no idea how often I make fun of the "girly" tattooes. I'll always tell guys, "Well, why not a unicorn running on a rainbow being ridden by a fairy while dolphins are jumping in the background!" Great to see it all brought together into one image of perfection. :-D Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: CmdrSlack on May 31, 2007, 06:30:30 PM Dude, that is awesome!

Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: pants on May 31, 2007, 08:59:40 PM 20 years from now, there is going to be a whole generation of people really regretting those tatoos that seemed so trendy at the time... I used to think that too - but I'm not quite so sure now. Right now being in your mid-40s and going to parent & teacher night with an armband tat, or something on your shoulderblade or just above your arse crack, is unusual and so some people would prefer to be rid of their tatts. but in 20 years time a lot of people at parent & teacher nights are going to have tatts, albeit a bit saggy due to them not being young and fit any more. So I don't think there will be quite so many people wanting laser surgery as we may expect. Time will tell of course... Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Strazos on May 31, 2007, 09:04:18 PM Or, we'll have crazy-ass nanomachines helping us stay in shape, so they won't be saggy and ugly. :-P
Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Xanthippe on May 31, 2007, 09:08:18 PM I see plenty of tats on the parents at my kids' school. I keep waiting for tats to go away, because after all, how edgy and hip can it be to get a tat when it seems like every other soccer mom has one?
Lots of kids have earrings too (elementary school). Young people used to be hip and edgy. They wouldn't have been caught dead wearing something either elementary school kids wore or parents wore. I'm so sick of hip and edgy. It's really neither, it's just tired and stale and boring. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: schild on May 31, 2007, 09:11:18 PM I'm currently contemplating a lot of shit.
The text from Nameless One's back. One of the Disgaea characters. f13.net is a must. or just f13. Possibly one of the Atelier Iris punis. Lots of shit. Oh, and Cecil as a dark knight on one arm and as a paladin on the other, alternatively on the calves... So many things are worth scarring my skin forever. I'm most likely going to do the Deus Ex logo on my wrist though. Possibly a Torment logo on the other. Oh, to decide. Just need to make sure I don't look like Kratos when I'm done. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Strazos on May 31, 2007, 09:14:33 PM I would go with F13 over F13.net.
Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Jobu on May 31, 2007, 09:43:37 PM This talk of people complaining that tattoos are just hip and trendy and soon will no longer be is BS. It's about decorating yourself with designs that appeal to you in the same way you'd dress yourself with clothes or makeup, or marking yourself with something of significance to you for personal/emotional/spiritual reasons: important time in your life, lesson you learned, person you love(d), etc. It might just be some stupid fad to some people, but it's so much more to so many others.
My next tattoo I want crossing the top of my foot and ankles somehow... still have to figure out a good flow. I dunno about an ankle being slutty... that shit hurts, so it must be redeeming somehow. Right? Personally, I would *never* get ink of a videogame character (or any other kind of... commercial property), but hey... whatever you want man. Good luck.

I agree, though, that that wouldn't be a very good tat. And, Schild, I know you're on your pixelicious kick right now, but keep in mind that believe it or not, those involve a shitload of linework. Every little individual block on the outside of that zombie to simulate shading? Yeah, those have to be individually lined in. That doesn't really bother me. You, on the other hand, might be very bothered by it. :evil: Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Murgos on June 01, 2007, 06:37:25 AM GF has a pink Nike swoosh on her butt, she still hasn't told me the story on that one yet...

This year I'm celebrating a half-century on this planet. I cannot imagine being happy sporting any tattoo I would have picked out 3 decades ago, 2 decades ago, or even 1 decade ago. It's not that I don't like who I was, I do; but that's not who I am now. I mean, I fucking hate the goddamned dishes I picked out 15 years ago and cannot wait until enough break that I can buy new ones. I hate the colors I picked out for my living room a mere 9 years ago, and want to repaint. If I had a tat, I'd try to enjoy it somehow because it'd be like a scar - old, familiar and I'm stuck with it. But voluntarily choose to endure a painful procedure for hours so that I can have something I know I'll regret in 10, 20 or 30 years? No thank you. How many people wear the same clothes they wore 10 years ago? Or wear makeup in the same way, for those who wear makeup? I wonder whatever happened to the guy I saw walking downtown with a full Maori-style facial tattoo. He couldn't have been more than 22 years old at the time. People change. What makes people think they'll like being stuck with some choice they made when they are no longer the person they were? And yes, I do think that some day people will not be getting tats. Fashions change, and tats are a fashion. But I also said platform shoes would never come back. I've even seen a mullet or two lately. WTF?

Like, break out the fine tipped sharpies and go nuts, fun. In any other context, this would scare me. As is, I'm in. That left arm needs to catch up to it's partner soon, so think about it. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Big Gulp on June 03, 2007, 02:39:09 AM That left arm needs to catch up to it's partner soon, so think about it. You've got to give me some clue of what you want, man. I assume you want to tie the arm together, so I'm thinking someing like maybe a dragon's head at the top of your shoulder, wings extending on either side of the cross down to the arm band. Do a little wrap around to accent your musculature. Or if not that a skeleton or something. I don't precisely know what you're into, so it's hard to gauge. From my experience, everyone wants skulls. :-D Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Signe on June 03, 2007, 06:37:58 AM More cheesecake pics of men, please. Maybe some butts, if you don't mind?

My problem is that I've never sat down with anyone to figure out something that'd work; I'd really like something that has to do with being a pilot, but plain ol' pilot wings or an Air Force symbol is lame.

Classic tattoo stuff, pretty girls, and a lot of aviation stuff thrown into the designs. Bomber nose art is cool and all, but I think it's a bit too colorful for me - I want something in black with maybe a couple of color highlights (eyes, etc) and be all sharp edges and stuff. Now that I think about it it's probably a bit too aviation specific; something that is more fantastical would work better for me (ie: a flying dragon/phoenix/falcon or a dolphicorn). I really like the style of NiX's tat, I'm going to see if I can find more examples like that. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: schild on June 04, 2007, 08:04:35 AM A flying shark!

Prince of All Cosmos would be a great one too. btw, the only company to get rights to create licensed Katamari products (shirts, primarily) is a Portland-based software company. Fun stuff.

Going through bmeink (thanks Schild) will take me awhile .. Don't let that stop you from getting what you want. Most Tat artists including Gulp (I'm sure) can shrink down anything to make it workable for you. Dragons like that are VERY popular and most artists generally know how to do them. At any size. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Big Gulp on June 04, 2007, 06:28:27 PM Dragons like that are VERY popular and most artists generally know how to do them. At any size. Like I told Schild a couple of days ago, that's within limits. If you've got a fairly large piece you don't want to shrink it down too much. It'll look good for a year, but tattoo ink naturally spreads a bit given time, and a detailed tattoo packed into a small area will turn into a blotchy mess. It seems to be fairly common where people want insanely detailed work on very small areas. A guy at my work told me he wanted a dreamcatcher (Okay, that's bad enough right there) with a scene in the inside of mountains, a bear, a wolf, a mountain lion, and a buffalo. Was this a backpiece, you ask? Nope, he wanted this on his shoulder. No, I'm not tattooing Noah's Ark on a 3" square surface, sorry. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: CmdrSlack on June 04, 2007, 06:45:29 PM I can testify to this. I have one on my shoulder that is basically three birds sitting beak to tail, forming a circle. Their feet lock in the center. It still looks like the original, but since it's all in black, I have no earthly idea whether it'll be touch-up-able. Maybe it could be done with white ink, but I have no real idea.
Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: NiX on June 04, 2007, 06:48:04 PM Hey, I never said you could make it microscopic AND detailed :P I just said workable for you. Of course there are limits to everything. Hey Gulp, would you do elephant ears on my crotch? :evil:

You should have your DNA fingerprint sequenced (can get it done at a university hospital) and then convert the bands to a barcode. It's an idea I've had for awhile now.

Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Big Gulp on June 05, 2007, 04:44:31 PM I didn't know you thought of me that way Schild. How very.. erotic. I think that's an awesome idea, I'll have to find out where I can get it done. A) Does it really matter if the barcode is accurate? Are you going to use this at Kroger for the Super Shopper Savings? B) I highly doubt anyone could accurately tattoo a barcode to the point where it's actually scannable by a reader. Aren't the tolerances on bar codes fairly tight? ETA: When I mean "scannable" I mean actually duplicating exactly a given barcode in tattoo form. I'm sure you could produce one that'd be readable, but whether it'd actually be your barcode is another matter entirely. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: voodoolily on June 05, 2007, 04:58:15 PM That's not the point. It's that you'd have your own product code. On your skin.

Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: El Gallo on June 06, 2007, 08:04:41 AM Is it possible to get a sculpture relatively accurately transposed into a tat? I've thought for a long time that Michelangelo's Pieta http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Michelangelo%27s_Pieta_5450_cropncleaned.jpg would be cool, it's always been my favorite sculpture (note that I have no well-developed appreciation for any visual art, was raised Catholic, and am a momma's boy at heart, so it's not exactly a shocker). I'll never do it sober (because I am a wuss), and won't let myself do it drunk (because I'd probably ask for the Pieta with Shmi Skywalker holding Kurt Cobain), but I am curious if it is possible.
Do you know any places where I could see pictures of classical/renaissance art in tattoo form? I really want to see what they look like. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Yegolev on June 06, 2007, 08:28:29 AM Just putting the DNA bands on yourself isn't what I thought you meant, I was all for writing GCAG or whatever in bar code. If it is even possible to tattoo barcode, why not just put your name on there? Or maybe KAISER SOZE, I don't know.
If you can't find a bar code font, I can make one available. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: climbjtree on June 06, 2007, 09:21:54 AM I've got a barcode on the inside of my left wrist. No, it won't scan.
Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: NiX on June 06, 2007, 12:35:04 PM Don't most bar codes have white backgrounds so they'll scan properly? Either way, I like lilly's idea cause it has a meaning behind having a bar code on you.

Then it's a shitty scanner or the barcode is incomplete. /derail Scanners from the last three years have been able to read arm hair more than 50% of the time (provided there is contrast between your arm hair and your skin). The newest ones no longer use a "true" laser to read the barcode. They use a "laser picture" system to create a virtual or 2D picture image; this is the first step to dispensing with barcode reading technology having to read the white spaces between the lines and being able to distinguish the actual properties of an item. Such as reading the skin of an orange and knowing that it is an orange. /rerail I can't decide on something that'd I'd want on my body for the rest of my life.

Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: schild on July 14, 2007, 01:38:42 PM That Human is Mr. Burgerz. It's the "weak spot" from the cover of the official Shadow of the Colossus art book.

On a side note Schild just got his first tattoo; one of the symbols from Shin Megami Tensei. Looks hot as a mutha fucker... I'm sure Ookii with post it soon, as well as a few others from F13 alumni. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Ookii on July 14, 2007, 10:12:55 PM Schild got a tat as well:

No ? Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Trippy on July 17, 2007, 03:10:02 AM Close. It's "I am a robot."

Call me once we have some cyberpunk future with subdermal OLED displays. Already is glow-in-the-dark and fluorescent inks. On that note, a triforce on the hand is the gaming equivalent of barbwire on a guy or stars/butterflies on a girl.

Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Signe on July 18, 2007, 10:13:44 AM I will never get a phosphorescent tattoo because I trust V-Lily and don't want to get some sort of horrible glow in the dark cancer. I will probably also never sit on Schild's sofarito because I'm afraid of catching some kind of snack food skin poisoning. There is so much in this world to fear. :|

The whole house was, actually, but I found Arizona to be less nasty than other places I have been, generally speaking. Highways, rocks, cacti, buildings, all very clean for some weird reason. Everyone complained about the black widows but I did not see any webs anywhere.

"You should get it shaded!" Which is a stupid thing to say cause in the picture there is clearly a man with a tattoo gun working on my back. But, no, they don't see him. Just the unfinished tattoo he's still working on. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Ironwood on July 18, 2007, 02:29:26 PM These are all fake tattoos that come off after a couple of showers, right?

Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Merusk on July 18, 2007, 03:28:17 PM Nope, none. My grandfather was in the Navy in WW2, so I got shown what they wind-up looking like. I decided long ago that it wasn't a good idea.
The wildest I've ever gotten was the ear piercing an ex- and I shared. However, after I broke it off with her, and it became fashionable to put more holes in it and other places than swiss cheese I decided to stop on that, too. One permanent reminder of youthful stupidity is enough.

It faded badly so a few years ago he had it replaced with a lion. The panther was nicer even faded. My sister has several tattoos. She's an artist and designed them all. They look very much like Southwestern Native American jewelry. Righ has an awesome tattoo on his upper arm. I'm sure my musician nephew will end up with billions of them. My grandfather was a high level Freemason and had several strange Masonic looking tattoos that he refused to speak about. I will probably wait until they figure out how to animate tattoos and then I'll have BG put this on my forehead:

It really didn't take much to ignore it. Gulp did, as did the other tatted folks. Nothing personal was meant other than the usual shit. Why give two fucks about snarky comments? I didn't know it was wrong to like my tattoo. I don't see anyone saying you should. You like it, that's really all that matters. The rest is random folks on the internet giving shit. Oooh, new territory there. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: squirrel on July 18, 2007, 09:36:09 PM I'm amused.

Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Ironwood on July 19, 2007, 01:11:12 AM I don't have any tattoos tho I have long considered getting one. I might in December when I make Director and I no longer have to interview or answer to anyone.
However, my point about the ones you guys chose is that, er, they are kinda transitory. I look forward to you telling your grandkids that 'It's from a comic. A graphic novel. Yeah, it was great. Two people kissing, but there was a nuclear fire because it was in a dream. It was kinda like the 'Ractives you young uns get these days. Ah, comics, whatever happened to them *tear*'. It'll be a swell speech. And 'I am a robot' ? I'm deliberately not looking that one up and trying my damndest not to believe Trippy even tho he's never lied to me yet : My Interview question No 1 for someone with Braille robots on his arm : "How quickly can you get the fuck out of my office ?" Love you all, of course, but that's kinda my old fashioned and silly view on the matter. None of the above snark, however, takes anything away from the fact that they all LOOK amazing and Gulp did a fucking great job. You should be wearing 'em proudly. While people still remember who the fuck The Watchmen are. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Merusk on July 19, 2007, 03:58:15 AM I'm amused.

That way when ever you ream some underling or stomp out of a meeting all they will see fading off into the distance is that smile as you plot and enact their eventual destruction.

Not sure if I would hire someone with prominent tattoos. Not sure if I would refrain from hiring someone just because of their tattoos as well though. I do feel uncomfortable when I see someone with a tattoo, it does break some social traditions and does mark the person as a...outsider?...rebel?...artist? Outside of work I have had friends with tattoos, but in a work environment it just seems unprofessional. Have yet to see anyone with a tattoo at any company I have worked for, although apparently there is a new low level executive starting in a couple of weeks that has numerous tattoos and even piercings. Should be interesting... Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: murdoc on July 19, 2007, 07:17:59 AM Getting tattoo'd was interesting. I've found that so many people, whether they have a tattoo or not, seem to want to either tell me how much they like it, or lecture me about how much I will eventually hate it. Some people don't understand WHY I got it either, but I didn't get it for them. I have my reasons for my tattoo and they're good enough for me. I waited the best part of 10 years to get it finally this year.
I actually would have LOVED to have gone down to Phoenix and had Big Gulp do some more work on my tat. I know I'm not much more than random_internet/XBL_stranger_076, but to have someone that you have some sort of knowledge of do, what looks to me like, some sweet artwork on me, would of been awesome. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Miasma on July 19, 2007, 07:34:54 AM I'm not averse to tattoos so long as they are well done, if I were to get one I'd probably spend a lot of money to go one of those places that have their own TV show. I might get one if that "erasable ink" I posted about earlier actually works (safely). I'd probably go with the Deus Ex logo because it looks great even if you don't know what it is, it's just a nice abstract design. What I don't understand is why people get tattoos on areas of their body that they can't see like the back, or all the women who have one at the nape of the back. What good is a tattoo that you need a mirror to look at, I would want to see it.
My Interview question No 1 for someone with Braille robots on his arm : "How quickly can you get the fuck out of my office ?" But if you could see that tattoo the first question would have to be "Why the hell did you show up for a job interview in a T-shirt?".Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Signe on July 19, 2007, 08:02:33 AM Oh my. Who do you work for, Oban? Gordon B. Hinckley?

Have yet to see anyone with a tattoo at any company I have worked for, although apparently there is a new low level executive starting in a couple of weeks that has numerous tattoos and even piercings. Should be interesting... Well, here's the problem with that. All the people who wouldn't hire someone with tattoos will some day be retired and need care in their old age and the only people left to run their companies and clean their bedpan will be a generation of video-gaming ubergeek pot-addled tattooed fuckwits with a dry wit. Now while that doesn't apply to everyone from my generation, I don't see Mitzy or Bebe from the cheer squad running a Fortune 500 company. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Ironwood on July 19, 2007, 08:13:37 AM :roll:
As for the 'T-Shirt' theory, Ookii's seems to start on his wrist. I'd be shaking his hand and then wondering if those two black dots were moles or leprosy. Either way, I probably wouldn't hire. :) Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Sky on July 19, 2007, 08:34:31 AM Most of the people here at the library have a tattoo, some have many. We're a professional dress-code place, I've worked at some real lax libraries, and this isn't one of them by a long shot (I break the rules by not wearing a tie, suit jackets were removed from the dress code about ten years ago). Some of the women in their 60s have them. Tattoos aren't rebellious anymore, haven't been for a while now. Kinda funny that I don't have any imo, but I rebelled against the rebellion.
I don't think I've ever worked anywhere where people didn't have tattoos. Maybe Oban's feelings about tattoos led people to not share them with him? Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Signe on July 19, 2007, 08:40:54 AM I worked in artist management. Some of the tattoos I met hat people attatched.
Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Oban on July 19, 2007, 09:02:28 AM Oh my. Who do you work for, Oban? Gordon B. Hinckley? lol, had to look that one up. No, I work for an industry that is worse than the Mormons. Please, do not throw your locked iPhones directly at my head. /edit for feeling old (http://www.clisham.com-a.googlepages.com/getoffmylawntn3.jpg) Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Ookii on July 19, 2007, 09:22:09 AM Oh I could write a diatribe right now, but I'll just be brief. In Arizona every person you know (including your boss and your boss's boss) have tattoos, it's just how the place is. This wasn't the case back in Washington, DC, as I suppose it is in most other places in the US. I'm sure it might be different once I move, but a tattoo here is nothing out of the ordinary, nor is anyone treated any differently.
Quote And 'I am a robot' ? I'm deliberately not looking that one up and trying my damndest not to believe Trippy even tho he's never lied to me yet : My Interview question No 1 for someone with Braille robots on his arm : "How quickly can you get the fuck out of my office ?" Don't take this personally, but you're a gigantic fucking idiot. Grow up. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Yoru on July 19, 2007, 09:22:51 AM However, my point about the ones you guys chose is that, er, they are kinda transitory. See, that was one of my criteria for selecting images. They had to be relatively timeless. Dice are ancient and can represent a range of things. A mushroom cloud is an image about sixty years old at this point, and I have had an unhealthy fascination with nukes since I was.. oh.. four. :) Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: HAMMER FRENZY on July 19, 2007, 09:44:52 AM Man I think that all the people giving Ooki crap about the tat are weenies.

Which would generally be responded to with "Faster than you can offer me a job worth staying for you antiquated fuck." Not that you'd know Ookii had tattoos, as he'd probably, you know, wear a dress shirt. EDIT: I probably should have read the whole thread rather than repeating what others already said. Oh well. To put the workplace discussion in context I'm a senior director in a Financial software company. I wear a suit and tie to work. I have tattoos. Noone sees them at work. When we go golfing, or to our resort offsites people see them. Noone fucking cares. I'm surprised at the puritan attitude some of you have towards tattooos. Presumably you still won't hire the "Gays" either eh? Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Yegolev on July 19, 2007, 11:12:52 AM Got a few people with tats here at probably the best-known corporation in the world, very image-conscious. Some tats displayed and some secret. Not me, I would not be able to commit, plus my wife says "no". That is all.
Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Merusk on July 19, 2007, 11:16:17 AM No, it's just plenty different in other parts of the country. Welcome to the Midwest, we service all religions here, weather you're Baptist, Methodist or one of those crazy Catholics!
There's still plenty of companies in my field that require suits & ties every day which - hating ties- is why I took the current job. We're even allowed to wear jeans once in a while. The husband of one of my coworkers husband, however, works in a call center for an insurance company and is required to wear a tie & suit slacks every day. No client contact ever, but it's still required. I've even been told by friends at P&G that there is an unspoken "do not hire" for tatoos, piercings and such. Even facial hair at the interview gets you odd looks. Yes, you west coasters live in a very different world.

Otherwise, was considering getting a Pipboy on my bicep (not a lot of room there, hah) or shoulder. Watching Big Gulp work was a lot of fun. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Tebonas on July 19, 2007, 01:42:20 PM If you don't wake up the next morning and think to yourself "What the fuck did I get myself into yesterday" a tattoo is something not many people care about anymore. The companies that care usually have a dress code that can hide such things.
That being said, they tend to look crappy when you get older. But so do you! :-D Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Oban on July 19, 2007, 05:10:56 PM ... Presumably you still won't hire the "Gays" either eh? I love gays. Great to work with since they are, generally, not as likely to file sexual harassment lawsuits. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: schild on July 19, 2007, 05:13:35 PM It's hard for a group of people who are considered a living, breathing, walking harassment to file such a thing.
Only recently could men file rape charges against women, and even then (lol). It'll be 50 years before gay people have the balls to say other people harassed them. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying how it is. Sexual Harassment is bullshit anyway.

Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: squirrel on July 19, 2007, 10:10:27 PM However, my point about the ones you guys chose is that, er, they are kinda transitory. I look forward to you telling your grandkids that 'It's from a comic. A graphic novel. Yeah, it was great. Two people kissing, but there was a nuclear fire because it was in a dream. It was kinda like the 'Ractives you young uns get these days. Ah, comics, whatever happened to them *tear*'. It'll be a swell speech. I missed this post earlier today. I understand what you mean, but historically Tattoos are topical and reflect popular culture around them. It's just what they are. Western Tattoos anyway, eastern tattoos have longer legs and more tradition. I personally chose the image partially because it's an awesome image from an awesome graphic novel, but also because it means something to me personally completely unrelated to the comic whatsoever. Dual meanings are also really common in tattoo'ing - even in old school sailor tattoos (John Irving recently wrote a book "Until I Find You" based on a tattoo artist who specialized in the Rose of Jericho). Anyway, the snark by me earlier was mostly due to the severe backpain caused by a failing liver. To each their own. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Ironwood on July 20, 2007, 01:13:40 AM Yup, I get that. As I said in the original post (which no-one actually seems to have read carefully) they're awfully good quality and much props to Gulp. And, if they mean the right thing to you and think they always will, more power to your forearm.
While I always ALWAYS wish to be taken seriously, I'm still surprised people are listening and, you know, care. My amusement (which clearly never came through because I suspect some people have an inkling of 'zomg') was mostly at a tattoo (visual medium) being done in Braille. I suspect it's merely Oooki wanting a line to get blind girls to feel his arm. Whatever works. Personally, I'd have gone for a barcode if I'd wanted to say something about robots. I mean, is it a blind robot ? Can't we get Data to go into the Jeffries Tubes to fix the optical sensors ? Nuclear fire, of course, never gets old. What really amuses me is Squirrel calling me an antiquated fuck for what I wrote, while admitting later he missed it and didn't read it. Um. I R Confused. I'll be antiquated in the corner. Growing up. Or possibly just giggling. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: schild on July 20, 2007, 02:02:48 AM Barcode is pretty damn common. But flat braille. Genius.

Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Merusk on July 20, 2007, 03:53:37 AM I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying how it is. Sexual Harassment is bullshit anyway. So you're saying that I SHOULD be able to tell my female employees, "Blow me or get out," or that the current definition of "anything that offends me" is bullshit? Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: MrHat on July 20, 2007, 04:27:19 AM I'm still pissed at my brother for getting a barcode tattoo.
Not for getting a tattoo, but for not taking the time to put USEFUL information in the tattoo, he just had the guy draw some lines. My brother says no one cares but me.

So you're saying that I SHOULD be able to tell my female employees, "Blow me or get out," or that the current definition of "anything that offends me" is bullshit? I'm guessing the latter, because anyone with sense knows that sexual harassment is unfortunately very real. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Merusk on July 20, 2007, 06:21:51 AM Well, unfortunatly I've come across more than a few folks who DO believe it's all imagined and they have every right to grope, fondle or whatever their female employees over the years, so I had to ask.

Touching is not sexual harassment, that is sexual abuse. AFAIK, it's pretty much legally considered sexual harassment (when you're at the grope/fondle stage), although it IS an "offensive touching," so I guess you could make the argument that a battery or sexual battery is also occurring. The thing is that sexual battery is also the same as rape in some states...so you end up with a large scope of criminal cases in that respect. I do think it'd make for a nifty civil action, however. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Ironwood on July 20, 2007, 07:22:35 AM Thank God we got off the contentious issue of tattoos and moved to the safe discussion area of rape.

For starters, that is the SN schild knew from on SRK so I did it cause I knew he had seen it. I also started using that name at SRK for fighting game tournaments, specifically Third Strike tournaments in which I exclusively used Hugo, which is uncommon because of his low tier listing. His super art I use is called the Hammer Frenzy (hammer mountain in japan). When he uses it he screams it and it is just awesome. I just think the name looks cool in a pool of player names who are all using top tier characters to see a Hugo player that is still trying to compete.

But as proven by this weekends meetup, the lettering does Not Matter. :| Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Ookii on July 20, 2007, 01:51:56 PM This thread has suddenly gotten far too warm and fuzzy, schild comes and all the hate is gone.

My GF says, "Oh, that's so and so". I ask her where the heck she knows such a ruffian, and she says he works at the Nuclear Physics department.

On that note, a triforce on the hand is the gaming equivalent of barbwire on a guy or stars/butterflies on a girl. If I'm getting a glowing yellow sierpinski triangle on my hand, I'm pretty far beyond caring what other people think about it. It's an obvious tattoo to get, yeah, but it's still an iconic symbol that pleases me. Not that it's really a factor anyways, on account of the lack of the technology for implanting an illuminated image into my skin. Screw weak little fluorescent ink tattoos, even without taking the cancer part into consideration. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Margalis on July 20, 2007, 10:40:12 PM This thread is pretty fucking strange to read through from start to finish.
I don't think I would get a tat, my tastes change too much over time. But I'm a minor masochist so there's that. I think it would be cool to just get poked with the needle a lot. To put it in perspective, I enjoy getting teeth pulled. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: squirrel on July 20, 2007, 10:53:55 PM This thread is pretty fucking strange to read through from start to finish. Well. That's something anyway. Personally I think the non-consensual sex discussion got shortchanged, but I guess that's what Politics is for.

Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Stephen Zepp on July 21, 2007, 12:15:21 PM Heh...just caught up to this thread, and it reminded me of a joke (best said with an accent, but hey not much I can do):
A guy's in a bar and has to take a leak, so heads off to the bathroom. The only urinal available is next to a guy with dreadlocks down his back, so he walks up, whips it out, and proceeds. As most guys will, he briefly glances over to the Jamaican guy next to him in an attempt to inflate his ego by comparing relative sizes of their pride and joy, and notices the guy has "Wendy" tattooed on his penis. Feeling smug, he says to the guy "Must be rough if "Wendy" was all you had room for!" The guy glances over and says, 'Ah no mon, it says "Welcome To Jamaica, have a nice day'!".

Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Signe on May 08, 2008, 03:23:12 PM It's a coyote based on a southwestern design. The sun is also southwestern and he actually got it done in 1994 but it faded so it was re-done a bit different. Her own tattoos are really really cool but I don't have the pics of them and the best one show too much booby for here anyway. They look like jewelry. Southwestern art isn't for everyone, though.
Here's a pic of the latest thing she sold. It's a table. There are other bits painted on it but I only have a pic of the top.

Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: UnSub on May 23, 2008, 05:56:13 PM This thread is just another kick along that I need to get a tattoo done before I turn 30.
I've got the design decided (sadly, I'm not original since I found a few other pics of it online already done as a tatt) now all I have to do is find an artist in Australia I can 1) trust and 2) doesn't have a 6 month waiting period (since the guy who is most recommended to me has a ... yes, you guessed it). Anyway, I'll post pics of it when it is done.

Well, when do you turn 30? If you had gotten on the waiting list 6 months ago you would have your tattoo by now! I'm looking for a design for my own, that's the damn hardest part! Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Big Gulp on May 24, 2008, 07:30:46 PM 1) trust and 2) doesn't have a 6 month waiting period (since the guy who is most recommended to me has a ... yes, you guessed it). Anyway, I'll post pics of it when it is done. How complex are we talking here? I'm just asking because we get a lot of people coming into the shop who seem to think that they need an artist of Robert Rodriguez/Jay Wheeler caliber, and then they pull out a tribal drawing. My point is, unless you're going for a portrait or something incredibly intricate most competent artists can do it. And most competent artists still have 6 month waiting periods. Great artists (Rodriguez, Wheeler, Tyrell, Booth, etc) are booked for years. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: UnSub on May 25, 2008, 05:46:15 AM It's not that complex and is vaguely tribal, but I obviously want to feel comfortable with whoever is doing the work.
I've got a few shops in mind, I just need to go in to them, take a look around and see if I like the vibe of the place. Plus the work that is on the walls / in the books. Plus: I've got about 6 months until I turn 30 :-) Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Sky on May 27, 2008, 08:06:56 AM My point is, unless you're going for a portrait or something incredibly intricate most competent artists can do it.

Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Big Gulp on May 28, 2008, 05:22:50 PM (http://www.ontheedgetattoo.com/Images/Tattoos/Dennis/Fulls/ribzombie-wm.jpg) Now that isn't bad. Maybe the dude just can't do portraits. If that's the case he probably shouldn't even attempt them, or at least do them for free on people he doesn't like very much (which is my plan when I want to start doing them). This is a bizarre pic, though. The bottom of the tattoo shows red, irritated skin like you'd expect, but the top looks peachy keen. It's almost as though the neck was added after the head, which is really ass backwards as the stencil would be a bitch to match up later on. ETA: More than likely, it's a different artist, though. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Phildo on May 28, 2008, 05:25:12 PM Might it have something to do with his enormous pot belly?
Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Big Gulp on May 28, 2008, 05:29:00 PM Might it have something to do with his enormous pot belly? Nope. I think it's just a case of different artist, same studio.

Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Margalis on May 28, 2008, 06:01:11 PM I can't even tell what part of the body that is. Is that his side? Is that patch of hair at the top/right his armpit? What the hell is going on at the bottom/right?
Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Aez on May 28, 2008, 06:09:16 PM Green text?
Top right hair patch is his nipple. Bottom right is his belly (a particularly discusting one). You see his right side. I'm guessing your brain protected you from the horror. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: Big Gulp on May 28, 2008, 06:31:47 PM I'm guessing your brain protected you from the horror. Guys, that isn't bad. Trust me, you start to get fairly blase about less than model-like body types. Try doing a full armband where you're stuck with your face in some dude's armpit for a half hour. I'll work on belly man all day versus that. Title: Re: Gaming Tattoos Post by: NiX on May 28, 2008, 07:56:24 PM So when can I come by for my next tattoo?

This is stage 1 of 3 - getting it all coloured and the background work all put in. You can see some of the background work/lightning bolt stenciled in for the next session.
