game tattoo

would you get a tattoo of a character in a game? I really like the look of altair in assassins creed, but obviously i dont really want something out of a game tattoo'd on me for looking rather geekyish, but wouldnt mind something that looks similar only i cant find anything. I love the whole robe with a weapon look, would you ever get a tattoo of a game?

i have Conan portrait, covering the whole of top of right arm

I have 4 boos from super mario world on my upper inner arm. Yes its geeky, but who cares I love it and thats all that matters:

That's awesome musty

Semiskimmed · 17 Nov 2010 at 09:59

i dont think something based on the first pic is geeky tbh, you could always have it goth'd up a bit? or have it with a shadow filled hood etc etc

Heh thanks mate, its a love or hate kinda tattoo some people really dislike it others love it.

Yea that is rather awesome Musty. Now I want a boo tattoo

mmm might get a cooper trooper one instead

edit actually no now I know I want bo-bombs they are so freaking awesome !!

Musty Pie · 17 Nov 2010 at 11:07

A bo-bomb tattoo would indeed be rather cool, Placement is key though it can make or break a tattoo

Sp00n · 17 Nov 2010 at 11:21

Yes I would, but It would have to be the right character for me.

My mate actually has Super Mario on his arm which is pretty cool but I don't think I'd be brave enough to get anything done myself!

No

Even as a gamer I think it's a pretty naff idea. I've never been that bothered by tattoos in the past though as I always think they will look ridiculous when you're old and saggy.

When im old and saggy I will be pleased that i can lift my shirt to show of the tattoos that i have let alone be worried about them.

At that sort of age im sure there are far more pressing issues that you think about.

A little defensive, but that's all fair enough

Just IMO, tattoos get worse and worse the older you get. Saying that, I appreciate people more who get them done because they mean something personally, rather than the nubs who get them because they think they look cool to other people (and often don't). Case in point young lads with too much fake tan and those "tribal" designs that don't mean squat.

I think Altiar is a bit non-descript/generic. He's just an assassin with no face. I think for a tattoo it would be better to get a character who is a gaming icon.

hitmanuk · 17 Nov 2010 at 12:50

That is just pure class Musty

nas · 17 Nov 2010 at 12:59

hero.

Nexus · 17 Nov 2010 at 13:05

Bad idea.

There was a foreign guy at my last place of work who had the Super Mario Bros 1up mushroom tattooed on his arm. It looked terrible.

clippa · 17 Nov 2010 at 13:07

Even something simple and tasteful like a miner willy

would just look really tacky. Tatoo's are always bad though.

not in the slightest mate, as i said everyone has thier own opinion on them and it bothers me none the less. I was meerly pointing out that when im old a tattoo i got when i was younger would be the least of my worries.

This bloke thought he had the best tattoo in the world, well until he went to prison
