Gaming Tattoos: Etna from Disgaea, FFXII, and More!
Togail \| 4:04 PM on 01.25.2009	27 comments

Hi guys! It's been a while. I just got a tattoo done of Beauty Queen Etna from Disgaea. I really admire Takahito Harada's style so I wanted to get one of his most famous characters inked on me. Here she is:

Beauty Queen Etna, Ascension Tattoo Custom Dermagraphics
Winter Park, FL

Here's a close-up:

This is Zodiark's esper glyph from Final Fantasy XII; the one in the background is an original character by FFX concept artist Shunya Yamashita:

Zodiark & Pin-Up, Memorial Tattoo
Atlanta, GA

and of course, the obligatory NERV:

NERV Logo, Eternal Expresssions
Rome, GA

Thanks for looking! Please share your game-related tattoos if you've got any! I know there have to be plenty of inked-up Dtoiders! X3

Not bad. Hope it stays that way.

Will never get a tattoo, seems like a waste of money to mark yourself with something that you may get sick of later. Also I've seen ones that look like shit after they fade.

Mikey

That's awesome. :D

Togail

I've been getting tattoos for years and they look fine. It's not for everyone.

Pizzajam

That Etna one is so sick.

I'm so smitten with Disgaea. I'd be ridiculed forever if I got that, but I definitely approve.

RiotMonster

Bad assss..

grafkhun

NERV one is nice, maybe get Ayanami done as well? I was never a big fan of Disgaea but the games do have nice art, the tats pretty sweet. But my favorite is the esper glyph, damn that's tight.

I have no tats sadly T_T

seigfreid

I want one...

whiteskwirl

Nice. That must have been expensive. I have a tattoo, but it's not gaming related.

Togail

Graf: I thought about getting Ayanami, It's a strong maybe. Thanks for your comments guys!

NotAZombie

Holy shit, Winter Park! I was born there.

grafkhun

and by "strong maybe" you mean "hell yes" right? xD if you do, please share!

Vlambo

COMMIE!

Shin Oni

oh wow. That makes me want an Etna Tat now...

oh and I spotted this huge ass MGS4 tat yesterday on Kotaku

Togail

Shin Oni: holy crap. That's intense.

Vlambo: BETTER RED THAN DEAD.

Shin Oni

I guess the tat I have KINDA passes for a gaming tat. I'm fan of FFVI (outside of Yuffie and Vincent.) but I have the devil wing from Cloud in his Kingdom Hearts form. I actually liked the design and went on with it.

Shin Oni

hm...my hands really haven't been typing lately.

"I'm no crazy fan of FFVII (outside of Yuffie and Vincent)" is what that sentence should say...

Vlambo

Togail: YOU KNOW WHAT THIS CALLS FOR? 50 YEARS OF TENSION THAT END IN YOU FALLING APART, AND ME FALLING APART 20 YEARS LATER

Togail

Vlambo: IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEN FIRE ZE MISSLES! YOU AND YOUR DEMOCRACY WILL BE ANNIHILATED.

Jesus H Christ

Nice, I like the detail in the first one. I've got lots of ink but no video game themed tats just yet, although I've got an idea for a pretty epic piece that I'm hopefully going to start working on soon.

Togail

Very cool.

ThunderHeartXI

That MGS 4 tattoo is probably one of the best things I have ever seen. My god, that's unbelievable.

You have some cool tattoos Togail, I think I like the NERV one that best, if you can't tell. :P

vonneuton

Hey, could you do me a favor and tell the live audio people they need to do a better job training people on mixing boards? :)

Awesome tattoo of Etna!

Togail

Von: hahah, will do.

Batthink

I'm not keen on getting tattoos, but Etna and the NERV logo? They are related to the two loves of my life. O_O

Krow-Kupo

That came out a lot better than I was expecting. Nice man.
