A tattoo of a character, no. Of an emblem, maybe.

Other - what kind of fool would get a character tattooed onto them?

Not me. Picture this - I'm at the shops and an attractive young lady comes up to me (I said picture this, it's quite unlikely :p).

Girl - "Ooh, cool tattoo, who's that?"
Me - "It's my man Sonic. Big up the Megadrive massive!"
Girl - "Hmm I'm off to buy something else in a different shop and if you come within fifty metres of me, I'll put a restraining order on you."
Me - *cries*

If I would get a game character tattoo I would have. Tattoos are for gang teens.

More likely a band tattoo, or a line from a nice poem or something.

Ah, maybe, but nothing springs to mind. Been contemplating getting a tat for a while but I have no idea what i'd want.

Meh, she probably wasn't worth it anyway. But find a gamer gal and you're probably set :p

I said no but come to think of it a super Mario tattoo would be pretty badass :p

Actually, if I was going to get a tat, it'd be something like this:

No special reason, it just looks badass.

Hmm, maybe. But more likely some phrase, like "You're our king? But... I didn't vote for you!". Then again, Monty would be better.

I've been thinking about getting a goomba tattoo for quite some time now.

I would get the Intellivision "Running Man" in his six sequential positions, pixels and all, on my left shoulder. Intellivision kicked ass. Screw the 2600.

I'd struggle to justify getting a game character tattoo...and I have two others so far:

A dagger with a rose around it with "Rob and Bill" on my left shoulder (When I say shoulder I mean shoulder...not back/shoulder blade) for my two cousins who died in a car wreck.

A Old English "B" on my right shoulder for my family. (My brother and I are the only two left with our last name)

I should be getting one or two more as well

No, that's just lame. You won't regret it in later years, you'll regret it in later months. Some tatoos are cool. The vast majority are the same "tribal" shit, and thus bullshit.

Agreed. "Tribal" designs are meaningless and therefore bullshit.

You guys need to chill.

Tattoos are about self decoration. Is it "bullshit" to get your ears pierced if lots of other people also have their ears pierced? Is it "bullshit" to wear jeans if everybody else is also wearing jeans?

Some people try to attribute deep meaning to their tats. If somebody tries to do that with a tribal design, feel free to slap them. They're pretty clearly full of themselves.

But some people just want tattoos because they like how they look. Nothing "bullshit" about that, any more than wearing the color red because you like red is "bullshit." It's just how some people choose to decorate their bodies.

My God -- you sound...reasonable! You clearly don't belong here. ;)

Bottle has a habit of making reasonable and intelligent posts. It's a shame that flamy posts are the ones that get the most recognition.

Who doesn't want a "The Princess is in another castle" tattoo?

No, that's just lame. You won't regret it in later years, you'll regret it in later months. Some tatoos are cool. The vast majority are the same "tribal" shit, and thus bullshit.
Same ignorance and bullshit people direct at rap.

I selected "no, because I do not have the ovaries." Even though I am a guy.

I have several tattoos already- I would not do something as lame as getting a video game character. Girls can get ink of butterflies, and frogs, and cartoon characters, etc but guys cannot. I place video game characters in that same category.


I apologise to any women who may feel insulted by that remark. I know there are some bad ass women out there who can probably kick my ass, I just wanted to express my opinion that VG character tattoos are weak. And in guyspeak, that is expressed by calling someone girly. Not you, but those playing with dolls and ponys girls.

I also did not mean to insult any guys who have VG character tattoos. Your particular tattoo, is...uh...manly. Or something....screw that, you should have gotten a skull, dork!
:p

I wouldn't get a tattoo of a character, but I might get a symbol from a game. I once thought of getting the Triforce pasted on my arm.

tattoos have never apealed to me. it is not because i am scared of getting a tattoo. it is more of a lack of interest in something that i want to have permanently placed on my skin.

I should be getting one or two more as wellyou got any pics of them?

I have two right now too...I'll be getting many many more over time, once I determine what I want and where. game character tho? no. I don't play many video games very often, and really couldn't justify it in any way. except maybe binge drinking.
