Want to get it extended though.

Yeah I'm Final Fantasy girl. In fantasy I'd get it on my chest or back.
Yes, I know random internet people cannot be trusted... But I do HAVE to make mention that it didn't hurt a bit. ^_^

If it's small, doesn't include horrible amounts of reaaaly deep colours, it wont hurt, since the artist doesn't have to tattoo the same place dozens of times.

Hell, like I made mention in the OP, the experience was enjoyable for me. Kinda like a massage. You choose a person who you can trust and who is nice. Then you just lay down and relax, listen to music and talk with the people while someone tickles you a bit. It was really quite wonderful. And I wasn't so sure about the tattoo myself when I got it, but after getting it, I want to get more just because it was so darn fun! I don't know, maybe I am just a crazy person.

I'm just saying that if the one and only reason you don't want to get a tattoo, is because you are afraid it will hurt, I will say that that's a silly reason unless you are tattooing a deep rainbow into your eyelids. Which you are clearly not. ^_^
Yes, but you could have a much higher pain tolerance than I do. I'm not completely ruling it out though, just be cautious. After all, I think it would be kind of silly to put myself through something that would be very painful for me to do for "coolness." I figure at some point when I get a little more money...that I'm not spending on video games...and maybe a little more brave, I may get a small one on my arm, kind of test it out before getting something serious.

I have a tattoo of the crest of Hyrule on my back (the Triforce on top of the bird which Link has on his shield). It was the second tattoo I got. I'm pretty covered.

What I did, was to use a logo from a game that defined me as a person and changed my life, but made sure that said logo was not only from the game. My Lambda is only tied to Half Life because of it's circle and the orange background. In a non-gamers eyes, it's a scientific sign, referencing the half-life of a radioactive substance. In a non-scientific persons eyes, it's a Greek letter "l". It has layers. That's what I looked for, maybe you ought to look something to that degree as well. ^_^
Hah, never thought about it like that before. I guess I haven't found my life-changing game yet, I've had several that I've enjoyed to death but I don't know if I've felt that kind of effect. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough, :) Food for thought, though, thanks for the suggestion!

A few years ago, I took my usual sprite avatar (black mage rockin' out on a guitar) and got it tattooed in a non-spritey cartoony kind of way. Don't really have a good closeup pic of it, but you can see it here:
Wow, getting your avatar tattoed on you, that's dedication 0.o Congrats.

I really want a gamer tattoo, but I don't know what I would get. Any ideas?
Sounds obvious but something from your favourite game? A little pointless getting something that looks cool if you aren't a big fan of the game as you have to put up with whatever you get for the rest of your life, a lot of people recommend waiting a year once you decide on the idea before getting it to make sure.
I think I might get the Assassin's logo on my arm. Or something having to do with Tekken. I'm not sure, but thanks for the help anyway. I'm not sure if I will get one though. A tattoo is forever. I just have to think about that.

I understand. I actually just talked a newly-tattooed friend of mine, who said that it hurt alot. I was a bit confused, but oh well. Maybe you ought to as a tattoo artist about the most painful places and try to put it in a place that wouldnt hurt? That's about tha only advice I can give you right now. XD

This, no wording, both wrists on the inside. Was nervous as heck going in to get it, damn near got close to passing out from shock (that was a lark, nothing else has made me do that), and then grinned and beared it for about an hour.

The tone of the event was kind of lightened when another worker of the studio closed the curtain of the section I was in for privacy reasons while they had some piercings to do. From what I heard, they were pretty intimate.
i know someone whos had that done, it looks awesome :D

Not really video game related (unless the last Captain America game counts).
For those who don't know what it is: it's the emblem of Hydra from Marvel comics.
And yes I know I'm skinny.

I'm too much of a pussy to get a tattoo of any sort. It's not that I'm scared of the needle (I've had injections and stuff before), but frankly, I am afraid that I might regret it when I'm older. It's because I've had experience of having sustained interest in many things, but it just loses impact for me as I grow older.
