Gaming tattoos

[Ash Housewares]

Hey everyone. Not sure if there is already a thread for this or even much interest but I wanted to start a thread with people showing any tattoos they might have from video games. Also to get a general view on them. Are they too geeky, sad, too high a change of regret in later life etc...

I am considering having my first tattoo done soon and I'm thinking I might get one of Link swinging his sword, next to princess Zelda and Ganon looking over them. Zelda was very much a part of my childhood. I'm sure there must be people here who feel the same about a video game series.

Post away, or not...

 

[I and I]

I'm still debating on getting a tattoo... I'm just terribly afraid of needles :s

I would love to get a Luma on my right shoulder, you know that cute little star from Mario Galaxy
I'd get that because
a) it's cute
b) grew up with Nintendo and loved Mario as a kid
c) it's game related but not that 'in your face' type, people who don't know what it is will think that it's just some star

(posted by the female half of I and I just to be clear )

I'm willing to bet that Akuma's "ten" symbol is probably the most common game related tattoo that people have. I have tattoos, but none of them game related.

I have plenty of tattoos. That said a "gaming tattoo" is not for me.

I think character tattoos are tacky. Maybe a shield or something subtle might be okay... dunno, I'm kind of nit-picky about tattoos. A full on gang is kind of ott.

I would get the RockSt*r tattoo.

I think to an extent it can look tacky. I have seen some very nicely stylised ones that look great. It depends on the art style I think.

I've toyed with the idea but I've been very indecisive on what I would get. Which I figure is not a good sign when it comes to tattoos

If i was to get a gaming tat it would be:

Something from God of War
Something from Bioshock
Something from Metal Gear

A mass effect N7 would look cool.
