I don't think it really hurt. It was actually kind of fun. My little sister, however, passed out during hers and had a seizure. Ooops. (Keep in mind, each of ours couldn't have taken more than 15 mintus each). She's a pussy though, so I'm not surprised.
My next is going to be the mail moogle from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. I've been carrying the design in my wallet for a long time, but I just haven't found the right artist yet.
Hm, I guess I don't have any images uploaded, but mine isn't really anything that great to look at. Guess it's just meaningfun to me and my lil sis.
EDIT: Nevermind, here is a crappy pic. And here are some of my old designs for my moogle. I'm getting the blue one.
Here are my tattoos.
This is my work in progress, i have had no work done on it in a few years. Really need to get round to finishing it.

This is my 16 years old, drunk, and stupid tattoo.

^ Dude, that first one rocks!
I've gotten seven thus far, four being anime and gaming-related.
Depending on where you get it (body and actual studio location) it shouldn't overly hurt. It feels like an itchy sting.
Is that a triangle shaped ass-cheek? :spock:Quote:

My cousin (22 at the time, and SOBER) let 6 very drunk teens take turns mutulating his WHOLE arm. Idiot. His arm still looks like shit despite the professional attempts to cover it up.
BTW what is up with the triangle ass cheek?
Thank god you can actually read the Kanji.Quote:

Glad you dont fall into that above category of retards.

Yup its a triangle arse. To my defense the original is the same.

Although in hindsight i maybe should have had the tattoo changed.
What gets me are people who say "I got this while drunk".
Any reputable tattoo parlor/artist will request that you not show up for your tattoo intoxicated, and will refuse to do the work if you are.
That being said, I have a tattoo on my chest. I want to get more, but everyone said for my first I should go with something relatively small and simple, to see if I could even stand the process. Its from a much larger design of mine.

I have a celtic band around my right bicep, and my last name in a gaelic font below it. I created the band using various Celtic Knots and other imagery. I got them after we finally met/visited my family in Ireland. Not sure if i'm going to get anymore, but i love the ones I have. Total time in the chair was ~16 hours with shading, spread over 2 consecutive days.
My advice to you is to make sure its something thats meaningful to you. Don't get some crappy flash art or a dumb tweety bird tattoo you're going to regret years from now.
I'd also suggest you think long about placement. In my experience, you'll be hard pressed to find a decent white collar job with your tats showing all over the place, and even if you do, i doubt you'd be taken seriously. Mine are only visible when I want them to be.
Show us the larger design!Quote:

I've also have to small ones on my arms, one is a chinese symbol for good luck surrounded by fire and water, and the other one is a tiny black dragon.
I will be getting another one on the back of my neck later this year. As for the pain it really depends on the person. talking to the guys who have worked on me, always tell me everyone is different when it comes to pain.
Love it or hate, I enjoy my tatt's, no regrets. Hell I even gotten my father and step mother into doing it as well.

Looks pretty identical, very painful and if your friend is not a tattoo artist with his own shop, don't try to get something like this done, expensive as shit.
I have some other tattoos on my left leg as well, nothing as impressive though.
Are you a practicing Hindu?Quote:

I've been practicing for 6 years, somewhere between a Hindu and Hare Krishna (more Hare Krishna temples near where I live). I worship Ganesha and Lord Krishna.Quote:

I looked around for a couple of years. I checked libraries and museums for just the right artist and then located books of his art. The artist Yoshitoshi, is one of the greatest woodblock artists of his time, imho. I also looked around for a decent artist and a friend of mine had just got a tat from a place next to his work around the same time i made the decision. So i ended up paying $100 and trading a signed Lady Death card. Her husband was a collector..lol.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...GeishaTatt.jpg
The tat comes from a unique Japanese folkstory about a prince that fell in love w/ a Geisha. As soon as his father found out he had her killed underneath a cherryblossom tree. So every year the prince would come to the tree on the anniversary of her death to see her ghost. I have 4 more planned but am in no rush to get them. There going to run between 300 and 600 a each. :( Anyhow, take your time and make sure you find a good artist. This will most likely be on your body for the rest of your life.
Tatoos that size should be no more than $150. At least where I live, anyway. I think you got ripped. $300 to $600 should cover a forearm.Quote:

So does anyone here have any? any video game tattoos? :smirk:
i only have 2 so far :glee: im planning to get some more on me soon.

I have no tattoes at all and I'm kind of glad 'cause I hear people regretting their choices left and right, however I'm an all or nothing kind of guy, so if I was to have a tattoo done it would be the red dragon, hell I would most likely add something to the arms to extend it, but most tattoo artist out there suck balls so I would defenately do some good research to get the shit done just right. Sometimes I think of getting the SNK baby blue or the MVS logo logo though, actually I'm quite fond of the old school SNK logo as well.
You know you've got alot of ink when you don't bother counting them anymore. I'm got somewhere around 55-60 hours of work so far. I don't like them spaced out in assorted areas. I go for large pieces that keep expanding.
This is what I do for a living. I have a ton of ink and want to cover most of my body. I think if you get a tattoo from home or at a party you have no clue and are selling yourself and your body extremely short.

If you go to a party or get drunk and get tattooed your a fucking tool. You will walk around with a fucking tool tattoo for the rest of your life.

So if you ever pass out or die while in Japan, they will at least know what to call you? Like a name tag that only Japanese can read? Not sure how useful that would be. Why not put your address and emergency phone number in Japanese while you're at it, just in case?Quote:

If I ever get a tattoo, I want a dragon coiled around a skull and an anchor and a naked chick is riding the dragon and she has a tattoo of a butterfly and the whole thing is surrounded by barbed wire, celtic patterns, and kanji (which will say 'Mom').
They got a word for something like that where I come from. Badass. :buttrock:
i have 4, but the one on my back is only about 25% done, and won't be able to get it finished till i go back to vancouver.
i'll post pics in a bit.
2 of them are semi-game related.
but here's the one my 2 best friends got a little while ago.
anyone know what it's from?
