One day when I go crazy, I might consider getting the symbol on my avatar on my face, the thing around his eye. I get the feeling it'd hurt like hell to get a tattoo around the eye.

Maybe get a Sith Symbol.

Just so you know, my two favorite characters from anything ever are Allen Walker(D.Gray Man) and Revan.

my freind is getting a space invader on one of his shoulder blades, but in about 6 months im getting the swansong(led zeppelin record company) angel with "save me from the gallows pole" written underneath, it would be on my upper left arm, not too big, just big enough to make out the detals

Yeah, I have the mark of chaos undivided over my breast centered round the nipple. Thinking of perhaps getting a navi tattoo up my right arm (would just be the swirling light she leaves behind going round my arm).

I have other tatts to balance it out, but so far people seem to think they are pretty cool.

Huh, I didn't know that. I just picked it because I thought it was cool.

(And yes it is dudette ;P)

I've attempted to give extra meaning to my tatoos (current and planned) by having 4 oldskool gamer tatoos to represent members of my immediate family.

Currently i have two tatoos in this vein:

* 4 space invaders down my left bicep. This represents my late father. My earliest memory of him is when i was 3 or 4 and he brought home a Spectrum 48K and he let me stay up late playing space invaders. Also we have a tradition in our family where the first born son is named William. I'm William Claringbold V, my dad was William Claringbold IV hence the 4 space invaders

* A 1up Mushroom on my chest over my heart. This represents my mother. I feel she has given me an extra shot at life. She has sacrificed a lot for me, my brother and my sister after my dad died. She worked tirelessly making sure we had a good start in life and i'll never be able to thank her enough

I have 2 more planned:

* Miles Prower on the inside of my right bicep. This represents my brother. My brother an i are very close and i'm glad to call him my best friend as well as my brother. I often feel he is my constant companion, plus my brother loved sonic growing up

* A 'Shy Guy' on my left shoulder. This represents my sister. I'm still not sure about this one as i don't think this represents my sister well. She is a shy retiring type who's favourite game growing up was Super Mario 2. This one i'm leave till last as it might change.

The whole concept of tattoos disgust me. It has a very primitive, tribal feel to it. However, I try to think I'm just being stupid, old-fashioned, and judgmental. Most of my friends have them, and I don't really care. It just doesn't appeal to me much. However, I'd probably get the metroid symbol somewhere, a pip-boy somewhere, I'm a guy so I can't really get a "tramp-stamp" (terrible name, dear god)...

I thought about something abstract a while ago. Friends suggest something in Gaelic but again, I feel really mixed about it.

That is really awesome. I'd be proud to display that, if I was to choose something.

I've never met anyone with geek tattoos, but I do see people with things online.

What do you tell your kids when its all saggy and wrinkly when your older...? I don't know, tattoos are fine and all, but some stuff just crosses the line. I don't like gigantic posterboard tattoos. Small ones with meaning to them are the best if you're going to have any.
granted I doubt that it would be small, but I imagine the old code has alot of meaning to someone willing to tatoo in on their body.

A triforce somewhere...
Also, the best one I can remember is the dude who has a load of them, including a tetris thing around his wrist. Get this: He has deliberatly left several squares out "so that my wrist doesn't fall off"

So far I have the Autobot symbol in black, outlined in red on my right arm and the Decepticon outlined in purple on the left, and the anti leaf village symbol from Naruto on the back of my neck. But he's not finished yet folks!!!

You know
Theres gonna be a point when you grow up, reach the age of 50 and think
'Fuck, I have I a game tattoo'

If I went and got a Shenron tatto, I'd be 'Fuck, theres an anime on my back'

I think that's the best thing I've heard all day. :D

I haven't really thought about any game-related tattoos, but I am planning to get Serenity written in chinese as it is in Joss Whedon's Firefly.

A Triforce on the back of my hand, as suggested by Ranooth, would be awesome, but then I wouldn't be able to use my hand.
