Gamer Tattoos?

don't get one tattoo, get shitloads.

If you don't look like my friend's tattoo-artist dad then you're not doing it right.

Thats an attitude I was hoping for.

if you wanna be really rock you could get a weiner tattood on you. I don't think a lot of people do that, so it would be pretty anti-establishment.

I don't have any tattoos for the record.

Never could think of anything I liked enough.

My friend has a bunch though. His dad taught him how and now he's got a bunch that he's done himself along with one or two that his dad did.

Or get it branded

get a barcode

...make it gaming related by making it the actual barcode from Donkey Kong '94.

IMO, your better off wearing a gaming t-shirt than a tattoo.

I am really really really not a fan of tattoos. However, there are some good ones (like one in a million) and I think a big reason so many look so bad is because people just get it in their minds that they want a specific picture on their body and then just totally stop thinking, and don't consider how to make it look good. All smidgens of common sense go out the window.

For example, I don't know what it is, but there seems to be a large number of people with teensy tiny dolphin tattoos on their legs. I don't understand why. They look terrible, not because it's a dolphin but because legs are BIG and tiny tattoos are TINY and when you have a teensy tiny tattoo on a big surface it looks like a mole or something. And then there are people that get random images all over them (usually tiny), in totally different styles, totally different colors, with no consideration to placement whatsoever and it looks like they're covered in stickers. There ARE people who get all over tattoos that look good, but that's because they planned them that way (even if it looks "random").

I guess what I'm trying to say is if you REALLY want a tattoo find a tattoo artist (key word here being "artist", as in somebody who can draw really freaking well, and create an image that looks good, and knows how and where to put it on you to make it look its best - and not just somebody who pokes ink into people's skin) and if you like their work enough to have it permanently on display on your skin, let them do exactly what they say will look good, because if they know what they're doing it will show in their portfolio and the final image will look good. If they don't it will look terrible.

(I don't have any tattoos but I have lots of friends with really bad tattoos)

I'm sorry if I offended anybody with tiny dolphin tattoos.

Doing a Google image search for "gaming tattoo" yielded surprisingly risque results. My favorite so far is the Quake III tramp stamp.

Wow, that was a lot of random opinion that no one here asked for, but good for you
