Ah, to be the lucky guy that bags this young lady...

I wanna see the guy with the Windows tat.:evil:
barcode = played out.
Might as well get a "tazz" tatoo.
I have a few issues of Gamefan where geeks sent in pics of their gaming tatoos. There was a guy with this huge Vagrant Story symbol that covered most of his back, and a really cute chick who was mentally disturbed enough to disfigure her tender young flesh with a Squaresoft tatoo. Poor girl, she knew not what she had done...
Anyway, I'll scan the pics tomorrow.
Ok...you have to feel lick a schmuck to be the guy with the AMD K6 logo.
Its bad enough to have a CPU brand tattooed on yourself, but now a totaly obsolete one at that? And not one thats really going to enjoy much of nostologic vibe like Atari or Commodore or even the Mits Altair ones?
***runs off to have Zilog Z-80 etched on his forehead***
I'm not really a fan of tattoos but I thought there were some interesting ones here. At the very least some of them seemed to be somewhat original. Better than some ladybug / butterfly / tribal band / dragon that most people seem to have. I thought some of the circuitry ones were pretty neat looking.
My faves:
• spine / pi
• circuit
• optical encoder
• boob circuit
You have to be a special kind of loser to get an Intel tattoo, by the way. Or any other company tattoo.
KIDNEMO HAS TO POST HIS!!!!!! XD
and holy shit, regus, thanks for posting this link. I'm getting a tatt (My first!!!!) In about a month or so, and I'm trying to narrow it down between a few ideas I've got. So any pics of other people's always gives me ideas of what looks good and what doesnt.
and yes, the barcode thing is lame. and to the people that got the quake logo: TEEHEE!
The pac man ones are the best :D
I'm lazy -_____-Quote:

So what do you have the tat choices narrowed down to now?
I can't believe anyone would get a "MTV Generation" tatoo. That makes me despair for our race.
JM
I have no problem with people getting "bizzare" tatoos.
I mean hell, all my tatoos are bizarre (comic characters I've drawn, Kyos sun, and Ioris moon from KoF), as long as they mean something to the person.
It just seems like, atleast in my opinion, the tat has alot more meaning if it's unqiue, which, I suppose an MTV tatoo is alot more unique than a tribal tat.
Where am I going with this? Hell if I know.
My next tatoo is going to be a line of three pink ocks from my avatar/comic.
So, uhm...yes.

aww D= well get unlazy, i wanna see ;)
and pretty much I'm either gonna get the kanji for "heaven" (the kanji on the back of Akuma's shirt) I'm not a huge Akuma fan, I've just always used that letter on artwork and shit, way before I knew who Akuma was.
Another choice was a little chibi ninja guy. I still have to find a design I like in that dept., so that idea might stay on hold for awhile. Anyone good at drawing chibi ninja dudes? D=
Another overdone one is one of the Pac Man ghosts, like just one small one. But a lot of people have that.
And one I was debating after a thread awhile ago was getting the kanji for "nintendo", because I love what it stands for. (leave luck to heaven) So.........those are my top choices right now. Must...decide.....
All those tattoos suck ass...
except for the Vitruvian man.
Hmm...kanji tats have been popular for quite a while now. In the next few years the "mainstream" tatoo community will probably look at them as "out of style", kinda like the whole tribal tatoo backlash. (not that it matters, but just saying)Quote:

If you don't mind that, I say go for it.
Like I posted before, original/unique artwork is a personal fave of mine, so if you could get somebody to draw something up for you, that'd be key.
I'd offer to do some rough designs for you, but I'm really, really busy right now. :( You could always try the galleria forum, or talk to the people at the tatoo shop. They could point you in the direction of a good artist, though they'll charge you for it.
Yeah, thanks Kidnemo! Actually, I don't mind about the kanji outtastyle thing, that doesn't bother me. I think Kanji is pretty. Always have.
but anyway, the ninja guy is a real possibility. I'd like it somewhat small...well, I know a few artists. Someone will help me out I'm sure :D
thanks for your suggestions, and don't worry about drawing me something. Heh, I *can* draw......I usually just don't. ^^;
Chibi? Ninja?
Like, how chibi, and how ninja? A more traditional 'all in black' ninja, or something more off-beat like Strider, Naruto, or what have you?
Looks like she took a staple gun to her face...Quote:

that looks like magic marker. :)
i want to get a tattoo, but i dont have the money for it right now. maybe in a few months.
Satsuki: first, whats 'Kanji'? and, that Akums symbol is pretty sweet looking.
Who is the character with the large Immortal symbol on his back.. I wouldlike to get that!! That would be sooo sweet!
kanji is the Japanese word for Chinese characters. See, Japanese people borrowed the Chinese character set and decided to use it, and they call that the kanji.Quote:

Beaten to the punch. Damn.Quote:

I have two kanji tats myself. I have tomo (friend) on my left arm and Ai (love) on my left shin. Once we have our first child, I'm definitely getting his/her name in Kanji.Quote:

Aside from that. I got have an SD Chun-Li tat on my right leg. I had to learn the hard way that black guys don't need bright colors like yellow or white.:o
I actually know the guy with the atari symbol on his arm (and the nintendo chars on the other). He's a fat fuck. God I hate him.Quote:

Corby, from GF, had a Quake 2 tattoo on his left arm, from elbow to wrist.
I thought to myself 'He must love the shit outta that game to get that'. He wasn't Thresh, but he was pretty damn close.
That is too cool. I want an SD Chun-Li tattoo :(.Quote:

Oh wow!!!! That Chun Li tatt is really awesome :D
and Hero- well "chibi ninja" is kinda the only word I can think for it. >_< Ugh, I have a Paul Frank shirt with the karate dudes on it, they are just really simple drawings but they look really cool. I'd like to kind of have the same idea but in a ninja suit........nothing too complicated.....kind like what I attached. along those lines....
I dunno, a Dig Dug tatoo would be pretty sweet, even if I don't play that game a whole lot.
And Thresh is Quake 1.
:lol: :lol: :lol:Quote:

Hell yes. I'm not into tattoos, but FLCL is worthy if you like tats. I'd stick with a few posters myself, though :lol:Quote:

I've read what you've been saying about Quake 1 vs Quake 2. Will you play Quake 2 competitively? (i.e. are you going to be in the new PGL season?)Quote:

Yep, I am.
[Note: Thresh is playing in both the Quake 2 and Starcraft leagues of the PGL]
And 2.
That's the symbol on the back of Akuma's gi, correct?Quote:

Kanji symbols are all right as long as they're moderately sized. I have one on my right arm that reads "Warrior" but nothing too big. The next tat I'm going to get will be along my spinal cord. The only thing holding me back is the money. Last time I checked, a tat going from the bottom of my back and up to 3/4 up my back would cost about $300. =/
Not quite sure, but Satsuki said that he has the character for heaven on his gi, and if he does, that would be the one.Quote:

I believe that can be read as "Heaven", "Sky" or "Man of God".
However, I could be completly wrong.
"please note this is an original design and I will skullrape you if you steal it and get it on you"
I'm guessing people are just beating down her door for that dazzling peice of flash... :/

correct! It's most commonly used for "sky", but "heaven" and "man of god" are also acceptable. gogogo Heaven!
that chick in the pictures is ugly. i just got my first tatoo the other day. its nothing big tho just a tribal band around my left upper arm
I should post pics. I don't have "geek tattoos" but I do have "tattoos on a geek". Thats close enough.
Too bad I have no digital camera anymore. I sold it for crack.
mmmmmmm craaaaack......
Uh Imean drugs are bad!
Honest!
:sweat:
I like these. :)

That's pretty cool.
Tribal tattoos and Barcodes are both stupid, unless you're Kerry King or the barcode will actually scan something crazy, like a box of tampons.
I seriously want the Quake 3 Arena logo around my arm.Quote:

Depending on what its paired with, Im sure it can mean a million things. Such is the nature of an iconographic alphabet. Pair it with this guy:Quote:

And you have "weather", for example.
Ten can be: sky, air, heavens, celestial sphere, firmament, heaven, Providence, God, Nature, Destiny, weather, top, beginning. Ame: sky, heaven. Ama-:heavenly. Amatsu-:heavenly, imperial.
Yes, as MVS points out, the Japanese character system is a bit of a mess. See, this guy is also God:
http://www.oren2001.com/02_tattoo/god.gif
It's really something you just have to learn as you go, it can be quite frustrating.
I see that shit, and I think green bastard aliens from the Planet Namek.
Fuckers....
Ok half of these photos aren't showing up on my computer, so if this has already been posted, do tell.
http://www.testecvw.com/kathy/images/tattoo-b1.jpgQuite Geeky.
The kanji that appears on Evil Ryu (the drawings of him anyway) is "metsu" or 'ruin'.Quote:

Damn, yall make me feel bad. I have tribal art from Red XIII from FF7 on my right arm. I got Ryu from the anime Burn Up W on my left arm.
Didn't britney spears get kajin tatoo'd on her. The symbol for "unique" but it turned out to mean "strange"...or was this a funny rumor?
What now?Quote:

Thresh: Didn't he stop playing quake around the time that Arena came out? I'm pretty sure there is a new quake champion now. And is the PGL still together? I heard they stopped it and another league is up and running now.
I actually do want a barcode tattoo, but not until I can figure out how to make it scan up roughly equivilant to "Meat - $100 per lb." I consider it a double-sided satiric poke at American commercialism, and how much of a consumer whore I am.
It's pronounced "Ten," if I'm not mistaken.Quote:

I got a friend with a barcode on his neck.
The lead singer from the band zeromancer has the quake symbol tatoo'd on his back. Me and my friend busted out laughing when we saw it.
yup!Quote:

well, my 18th is drawing closer (one week muhahah) and I think I've pretty much decided that "ten" is what I'm going to get. Now I just have to find a good spot on my arm D=
Zeromancer ain't a bad band...supprised I'm not the only one who's ever heard of them.
i was thinking about getting these on my arms....
Ven in the Tavern helped me out with these. i wanted the characters for HP and MP, and he came up with this.
i dont know about you, but i think it would be pretty cool. MP on my left under-fore arm (dont know what you call that area) and HP on my right.
does anyone know how much this would cost?
Depends on the size, and where you go.
Every place charges different prices.
That's the coolest geek tatoo yet.Quote:

Damn you for thinking of it first! (not that I'm in the market for a tatoo) :)
I tried to avoid bashing any of these tatoos, because I think they're all lame to begin with, but holy shit this is just awful, and I guarantee that this some that you will regret later on in life if you go through with it.Quote:

For a "geek" tattoo I think it's pretty cool/original.
If he ever grows to hate video games with a passion he can always lie to himself, as well as everyone he meets, and just say that it means "big penis" or something.
Yea, and that's just as lame as well. I think I'll go get something tattooed on my body that I have no clue what the hell it says. Man, screw Japanese lettering, I'm gonna get some Hieroglyphs tattooed on me.Quote:

What he proposed is no worse than having "Atari" tattoed to your skin.
Omni, wash out your ears and insert some bacon.
i win!Quote:

Ok here are my tatoo's
My right arm
I'm gonna get that one expanded later on.
My left arm
This is ryu off the anime Burn Up W.
say word to geek tatoos heh.
That first one is really small.
Yea I know heh, When I got it like YEARS ago, it was kinda big on my arm....now years later I've bulked up a bit and now its tiny. I'm gonna get the Roman Numerals and it expanded out more later on so it looks more like RED XIII's
*Bump*
I got this a little over a month ago. It's a little over a foot long. I still have to get the red fades.
I fail to see how it's geeky at all, but I like the design. I would just leave it all black, if I were you. I really want to get something along my back or down my spine, but probably not for my first.
OT: What is the symbol in your avatar?
You didn't notice? It's from Vagrant Story. I got it like how the characters had it in the game.Quote:

Thanks to the eyetoy-as-a-webcam tidbit, I can display the one I've had for a few months. I love it, as do a lot of other people considering the amount of compliments I get about it. Not that any of them have any clue what it's from.
Whats it from?
It's a combination of Kain and Raziel's clan symbols from the Legacy of Kain series.
Didn't know that... looks good though.
If I still had a webcam I'd post the half sleeve in progress.
