Yes, another tattoo thread... But somewhat different!

[KefkaCultist]

"Ugh, another tattoo thread? We have one of these, like, every month!"

Yes, yes, I know, but I just cannot resist flaunting my new (and first) ink.

Spoiler: Kweh!

To make this thread somewhat different, I want to ask this: If you've had tattoo work done, do you have any that you regret?

This stems from several people I know telling me that I was dumb for getting this tattooed on me and that I'll regret it years from now, but I wholeheartedly disagree with them. I've been a gamer all my life and Final Fantasy was one of the very first games I played and it's definitely a large part in who I am today. I've always found the Chocobo and Moogle endearing, so having the two together is an awesomeness overload that I feel I'll cherish forever.

Anyway, post pics of your favorite tattoos, maybe share a story about a tattoo you regret if you wish, or discuss future tattoo ideas.

Nice one!

Spoiler: Here are mine

Zapdos in January, the Kusari flag in May.

I don't know if I'll ever get another tattoo in the future. Certainly not in the near future.

I do regret having to go to work the day after getting the arm tattoo and having to lift hundreds of lifts of moulding... Ouch! D:

Nice! I'm pretty sure I've seen your Zapdos on another thread somewhere. It's pretty shweet. Any plans on getting it colored in or are you just leaving it as that?
I don't recognize the 2nd one though. At first glance I thought it was the Goron symbol from Legend of Zelda lol. What's it actually from?

I also work at a job that involves lifting relatively heavy objects a lot. I've got tomorrow off, but I'm not looking forward to Thursday.

I prefer Zapper as an outline only. I'm never filling it in. Oh and the second one is from Freelancer, my favorite game. It's a flag from one of the sovereign states of the game.

That's cool, it looks really good as it is. From what I've seen colored tattoos with a lot of yellow don't look the greatest IMO anyway. I've been looking at ideas for a Triforce and the black&white ones just always seem to look better to me for some reason.

Ah okay, I've actually never heard of that game before somehow lol.

I got a couple & don't regret either & I'm planning on getting more & this will be the next one I get

I want to get it on my forearm, but I'm a bit cautious about getting on that could be a pain to cover up if I had to.

I have a tribal on my upper left arm that goes around the shoulder. I had it done about 8 years ago and I kind of forget that it's even there. At this point it's just a part of my body, I mean... nobody goes around thinking all that much about their legs. I mean yeah it's fantastic to have them but it's not like you ever really think about it.

Anyway to answer the question. No, I don't regret getting my tattoo.

 

[Shinsei-J]

I haven't got any ink yet but I'll be getting my first in a few weeks!
My sister's a tattoo artist and she's doing a piece for my 18th birthday.

If you've had tattoo work done, do you have any that you regret?
I haven't had any done yet so I can't answer for myself but I do know my sister regrets a few of hers.
They take up what she calls "prime realestate" and they don't really mean anything to her so she's just a bit bummed out that she can't have a different one done.

 

[CriticalMiss]

You're seriously going to regret that later in life. A blue chocobo? Everyone knows they are the worst

I don't have any tattoos that I regret so there is not much more I can add personally. I do know a few people who got the typical tribal tramp-stamp done in their teens (it's suprising how few tattoo places actually check someone's age) and hugely regret it.

 

[Foolery]

No offence, but video game tattoos always seemed tacky to me. Not my thing. Also I don't like needles much. So no tattoos. Chocobos are cool though.

My first thought when I saw your arm was...is he Kratos? Ghost of Sparta coming on there dude.

Nice tat aswell.

Personally I don't think I'd ever get one, the whole permanently marked thing kinda puts me off. Having said that I do like looking at ones with a bit of colour on them. OP's is very nice.

I can't really think what I would go for, something simple an not too imposing, that is nothing special to a casual observer but to the informed it has relevance. Like the Aperture Science logo.

 

[Trivea]

Some really nice ink up in here...

Spoiler: I haven't done this yet. Huh.

That's my only video game themed one. Left shoulder blade. I have the Beatles logo, Aequitas, and 'Heir of Durin' in Dwarvish elsewhere, though.

 

[Chemical Alia]

Yeah, two of the three tattoos I have never stopped irritating my skin, even after ten years. I'm having both of them removed, and it's a long, expensive process and INCREDIBLY PAINFUL HOLY SHIT.

Yours gets a thumbs up from me!

Yeah, I heard that some people just have bad reactions to tattoos. I've never been irritated by mine after the recovery period ended.

 

[Fappy]

I'll never get a tattoo or piercing of any kind, but it's always cool to see what other people get. As cool as they can be though it's just not for me

With me, I noticed it was only the two that had color that I had a problem with. The one I have that's just black has always been fine. That's the kind of stuff that you really wish you could know ahead of time, haha.

Nice tattoo. I don't really care for Final Fantasy, but that's a charming piece of art you have there. Here are two of mine:

I don't have any videogame ones, all my tattoos tend to be oriental.

What do those mean? If I may ask.

OT: I don't have any tattoos yet so I can't really contribute. I think I might get various music related tattoos though, Eddie Vedder's face on my left butt cheek, Frank Black on the right butt cheek.

Well I took inspiration from one of my favorite quotes. Ya know, "Happiness and sanity are an impossible combination."? I think it was Mark Twain who said that.

Anyways, left = Happiness, right = Insanity.
