Friday I'm going in for a tat, it would be my first gaming-related Tattoo.
I've pretty much got my heart set on the magitek Armor portion of the logo without the red stripe. it would be all black. I want to pay homage to my favorite game of all time and this specific image is the only thing FFVI related that does not scream NERD. its something only a gamer would recognize, and to the casual person it would simply look like a pretty cool tat. I plan on getting it done on my forearm/shoulderblade. though I think the forearm would be better place for it. another Idea was for a Amano picture of Celes on the back of my shoulder blade
Feel free to post your thoughts on the idea, I don't mind negativity if you honestly dislike the tattoo say so. I'm even open to suggestions on a Tattoo. just don't suggest a badge of virginity like a 1-up mushroom or an NES controller. I want something that does not scream GAMER DORK, it has to be something ONLY a gamer could recognize and simply look pretty cool to the untrained eye (think the Okami Tattoos)

You shouldn't care if it screams "gamer" or "dork" or whatever, just as long as it's not something cliche that probably thousands of other "cool" kids out there already have.
I think that speaks for itself
@ Sadistic, A big daddy Tattoo or shadow of the collosus tat or would be pretty cool, but I was not raised on gaming this gen, I'm nearly 29 and naturally I go with a tat that would harken back to my "golden age" of gaming, the SNES era. and nothing epitomizes that more than FFVI, this has nothing to do with peopular reasoning BECAUSE FINAL FANTASY IS SOOOOO KEWL!!
This tattoo represent the most memorable 70+ hours of gaming i have ever had the pleasure of experiencing in my 29 years.
@wrath simply saying tats suck would have been more to the point, you sounded very bitter
Kidding aside, video game tats are awesome. I rock a Megaman, Link, and Bowser, in addition to SLIFE on my fore arm in the FF font. linktoid
Post pics when its done!!!
Post pics when its done!!!
1- do you want this symbol on your body forever?
2- do you know a good *and im telling you GOOD*tattoo shop?
3- do i know the fact that many artist can do something even more impressive *tattoo is not only limited to tick black lines or pale colors anymore*
4- if you plan on doing colors,is the artist good enough to not make them pale?
5-do i know about the procedures?
6- if i live in a small city or town...is a good and reputed artist have a shop near me?
-if yes ,do i like is style?
-if no , am i prepared to make a long travel to a good artist
7-is it my first?
-if yes ,am i really prepared for this ?
-if no , am i happy with the one i have?
8- is it gonna hurt? - its not a question this one its an affirmation..ITS GONNA HURT YES! maybe not the first 30 minutes but after one hour its beggining to be a pain in the a**... i recomend 2 hours session by days or even by weeks if you start becoming tired after the first hour...its not a question of toughness or endurance ,no one can be tough when a needle is penetrating their skin a hundred time per minute
9- last question... look at your desing and think...do you want a little tattoo like everybody else?...or do you want something impressive and wich make you say...damn...that nice every time you look in the mirror? ...i say...take a picture of a detailed magitek and bring it to a good tattoo artist and say...go on...make me a living piece of art ...it may cost you much and make you feel longer pain but damn...just think about how nice it would be to have the best final fantasy tattoo around?!
