Anyone have an Arcade Game Tattoo? Thinking about one?
I am. :o
Post pics if you got em!
-
i am VERY seriously considering an Atari logo on my arm or calf... probably the calf. I'm not going to get it done until the spring/summer though.

That Zakk, he has just a bit of everything on his page! ;)

hello!!
(from zakks site)

I would suggest against getting a Rough Ranger tat on your arse.
That is the only wisdom I can part with at this time.
-
Yeah, she's a looker.
Chicks with glasses do it for me. ;D
Plus she's an Atari fan. Nice. ;)

I originally got a Pac-Man tattoo, with a "mock the jocks" kindo of idea...instead of getting that "bad ass barbed wire" around my arm...have you ever watchted football games? I think you have to have that tattoo to play in the NFL...I would get a Pac-Man with dots all the way around.... Later I added a Ghost (Inky) chasing Pac-Man. I have yet to add the dots but would be very surprised if I don't have it done by the end of the year. I'm also seriously putting Mario on my other arm..and for some reason I think it'd be totally bad ass to have Donkey Kong at the top and center of my back. Keep in mind now..that I'm a special kind of loser/freak. :) I assure you that many people could beat me at pac-man...but it's been a life long obsession. I don't really know what my deal is with Nintendo either...I couldn't wait to get one, then when I finally did, I never left it's side. I would take it on family vacations and stuff. I just beat LOZ for the first time last year though. I always loved it, just recently started to appreciate it....and love it. ;)

Eventually the Ghost healed....but that bloody pic is fun. Also people with tattoos know it's not like in the moives....it's not marker....they're scratching the hell out of your skin with a needle....yeah...ya bleed. ;)
BTW, that bloody pic was first thing the morning after..so there's some bandage stuck on pac-man's head.....
-
i can't get a tattoo because anything i like or believe now will change in a few years...unless the tattoo has your family, a chronicle of your life, a lifechanging event, etc. i can't see why you'd do it. c'mon, when you're 50, are you going to be pimping that lotr tattoo.
-
I never really thought of it before...but it seems like (for me) video games have been part of my family. And I'm pretty sure they're never gonna turn on me. :)
-
i need a tattoo that morphs depending on what i'm into. maybe a small screen on top of the skin, so you can send images to the body location.

Or stop skipping the Ritalin so you can focus on something. Kinda hard to bag on someone because they can identify something they enjoy in life and put their personal tribute to it on their bodies. I'm sure they feel the same way about you changing with the current fad of the moment. Eventually you'll find something that is a "forever" thing to you, and others won't be able to understand THAT, but you'll defend it to the death.

"The LCD tattoo project!" ;D

Jeez, that's sad. I remember back in the early 80's I heard a tune called CRAZY TRAIN. Man, it just changed my whole world. To this day I haven't stopped listening to it, or enjoying the things I enjoyed then (had a nice game of apocalypse now the other day...nice!).
My sister's were like you: Just LOVED something this week, hated it the next. Same went for friends. Now my daughters are like that. One day Britney is da bomb, next they are liking whatever their friends/television tells them they like. Maybe it's time to decide what you like FOR YOURSELF.
Here it is some 20 years later, and the nice ozzy tattoo on my back still feels good being there, even though he's been through 2 restorations so far. When I'm 50? Who the hell is going to want to look at my back then anyway??
Seriously dude, it's what YOU like, not what anyone likes. Heh, maybe take Drew's advice, and maybe a Ritalin tat would work for you :)
-
I always thought temporary tattoos would be fun, but can't get my head around doing something permanent to my body like that. No beef against anyone else who does,of course, but not for me.
-
Yeah, she's a looker.
-
That's it. We can form a posse, get drunk and go get Saint. I'll brink the ink and tattoo gun, someone else bring the skill! Whoo hoo! I think a nice little tat of Jessica Simpson would do nicely...
It's POSSE time!
-
This could be sweet too.
-
I demand Lara Croft!

LOL, just noticed the tat within the tat. Charlie Brown with a jailhouse BYOAC tattoo is pretty darn funny.
-
I demand Lara too, but she always tells me "you're so nice...you're like my best friend...I don't want to ruin our friendship" AAAAGHHHHHH!
She says she's after the "Indiana Jones" type of guy.
I hate those types of guys.
They wouldn't be NUTHIN' without that hat and whip!
Hey Gunstar, there ain't no room for a spare in that trunk!
-
Jeez, that's sad.

Yeah, thats pretty much my best work. I spent two hours shading the upper lip. ;)
No, I meant it as saint having a byoac tatoo on his arm.
-
Think im gonna get GAME OVER on my arms..
down the center of the underside.. from my inner elbow to my wrists.. GAME on one side and OVER on the other..
:D
-
I only have a tatoo of my name on my arm. I was 15, that's what the other guys were doing (and no, I wouldn't have jumped off a bridge if they did)...maybe I could turn it into Fygar or something...hmm...
Whoa! that girl with the Atari tat is cute! Honestly - w/o knowing about the tatoo, I'd say a real cute 7/10 on my scale. But knowing about the tatoo puts her off the charts! I guess I am a classic arade freak. She got 20pts just for having the Atari logo branded on her abs. Oh well. Send the guys with the white coats now...
-
About 5-6 years ago I was on the verge of getting the tattoo the guy from tekken 3 has on his arm (not very retro, I know) but I've got one on my arm already (4 in total) so I decided to leave it. I was thinking of having the one on my arm removed, if I do then I'll have it done.
-
...can't get my head around doing something permanent to my body like that. No beef against anyone else who does,of course, but not for me.
Nor are they for me.

I actually have the Tattoo that Jin Kazama has on his Right Arm. I will try to get a picture of it on here. My digital camera is down right now.
-
I demand Lara Croft!
Hows this
Its before and after!!
Ok I screwed up and put the wrong one in the first time.
-
I only have a tatoo of my name on my arm.
-
Why would she write your name on your underwear? Just in case it got lost?
'Whose tidy whities over here with the skid marks...uh..wait a minute...these belong to Zakk' :-[

well, when i find a hobby i like for more than a couple years, i'll probably spend more time involved and less time thinking about tattoos. if i like mario, i'll grow a mario mustache. i like the body transformations more.
-
Sweet!
Uh... can I get the full body though?

They naysayer has a point, ya know. You have no idea whether you're still going to be into videogames twenty or thirty years from now. I know a guy with a bunch of white supremacy crap on his hand and forearm that he got when he was a teenager. He's too poor to have it removed.
Tatoos are permanent. I don't think Ritalin is meant to make you focus on one thing for fifty or seventy years straight.
-
I have two tats (above a short sleeve shirt). Anyone with tats will tell you they are addictive, you can't stop at one. I have never regretted getting them and doubt I ever will. Like anything in life, it's just another experience.
The ultimate arcade tat would be Dirk doing something filthy to Daphne.
-
Ok, someone step up to the plate.

I'd say it would more depend on the size of the bid pot!
Before anyone thinks about getting a byoac tat (and jeez, with this group I could see it happening...), we should all think of what other phrases could be formed out of that acronym. Hate to walk down the road and have a bunch of purple haired toothpaste sniffin nazi penguin clubbers saunter up and go "yo! You're one of us!! Right on!"
"Butt yanker on a cruise"
"Best yodeller on any continent"
Oh man, this could go anywhere...
BWAHAHAAHAAAHAAA!
-
to me getting a tatto is like super-glueing on a pair of flairs- hey, they might look good this year. but when they're out of date, there they still are...
although i must admit i once wanted to get a square centimetre tattooed on my arm so i could easily quantify how out of shape it became over the years...
-
i'd get the flaming python with diamond eyes that said, "hell is other people."
-
Ok I accept the challenge, BYOAC tat coming right up ( and by the way it will be my first ). Update shortly, with pic.
-
oh crap...what I have started!? :o
-
Get one that says "old people suck". Try n explain that one when you're 65.
-
Tatoos are addicting....
just like potato chips you just can't have only one...
I started out with one tatoo and then got another and another and another.... I have been thinking of getting an arcade related tatoo....
-
Old topic, but since it got linked in a new one, I'll post anyway.
For me, tattoos are a way of commemorating a certain time in my life. I don't get one thinking I'll still be insanely obsessed with the subject matter when I'm 50, I get them because they are important to me right now.
I waited for 6 years between my first and second tattoo, because I knew the second one would be the one that pushed me over the edge on them. Now I have at least two definately planned, with another couple floating around in my head waiting to take final shape.

There are two kinds of people in the world those that have tattoo's and those that don't. Those that don't have them will never understand why people like me get them and people like me don't understand those without them. How in this day and age can you possibly judge people on the color of their skin? If I could fight anyone alive or dead it would be the next mf that disparages people they don't even know for the very personal choices they make regarding their own bodies. Do you really need to jump up on a soapbox and preach the evils of tattoo's on this forum? We get it your a card carrying, right wing, conservative member of the NRA, that's fantastic get off our cloud man. I believe it was Hendrix that said "I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die so let me live my life the way I want to."

Damn, who killed your kitten? You seem to be a little on edge considering I don't see anyone in this thread condeming getting a tattoo, maybe a few warnings to not get something thats just a fad. In fact several people said that have them or are getting one and even talk about getting a BYOAC tattoo, hardly anti-tatto statements. Take a prozac, count to ten, take a deep breathe and scream "Serenity Now"

Firstly, you're ignorant. Since your posted gripe is with judging people, and then you proceed to go ahead and judge people, I'ma show you your thought process. Here goes:
We get it, you're a stupid punk kid with no reading comprehension who is self-obsessed to the point that you can't be bothered to know something about another human being around these parts.
See how I gathered all the information from reading what you said? Oh yeah, that's right, you ignorant tool, you obviously haven't read JACK in this thread, nor do you KNOW jack about the people in this thread who HAVE stated some minor objection to a tattoo. WITHOUT FAIL, EACH AND EVERY PERSON who has stated something contrary could be considered a card carrying communist, left wing, liberal member of moveon.org.
The funny part is, each and every one of those people would tell you I AM what you're screeching about, and I DO have a tattoo, and plan to get more. What is it that you get? That you're an ignorant ass with little to no comprehension skills and are far quicker to judge another person than the person you've painted as a boogeyman in your pitifully narrow mind?
Better to remain silent and have the world judge you a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Asshat.

Ack, the right wing conservative NRA members are getting tattoos? That's it, I'm moving to china.
Oh, and tyler...way to make one of your first posts here stand out. Bravo.

There is nothing wrong with getting tatoos. I personally don't have them, and I don't want one in the least. Some people make it into an artform, which can be neat in some cases. Some people get tatoos that mean something to them, which can also be really neat.
However, there are exceptions:
-The wannabe suburban white teenager that gets their name or some other oddball phrase tatooed in chinese lettering. One of my friends has chinese crap going up both forearms. I rag him on this every chance I get.
- The kid who gets a tatoo of the one-hit-wonder pop rock band flavor of the week. Yeah, that one will stand the test of time...
- The kid who goes to a tatoo parlor and picks out the first "pretty" thing they see on the wall to be one of the cool kids with tatoos.
If you are going to permanently, and willingly, add something to your body, at least make it mean something to yourself. Don't do it just to be "cool".
-
I always wanted to get my SS number tattooed on my foot or something... So they could identify the body once I did something stupid.

Firstly, you're ignorant. Since your posted gripe is with judging people, and then you proceed to go ahead and judge people, I'ma show you your thought process. Here goes:
I think the message you were so eloquently tyring to convey is the fact that you are indeed an ass. Have you patented your the technology for your thought process machine yet so every ass with a keyboard and one working synapse can use it too?
We get it, you're a stupid punk kid with no reading comprehension who is self-obsessed to the point that you can't be bothered to know something about another human being around these parts.
Terribly ASSumptive and judgemental on your part. I love how you ASSume to know me based off of a single post, It's not like there is an overwhelming body of evidence to support your arguement here. You on the other hand have quite the career posting in these forums, congrats...have a beer and celebrate. Where in fact does one reside if one is "from around these parts"? Based on your sentence structure and phrasing I'm guessing somewhere near Tupelo, Mississippi.
See how I gathered all the information from reading what you said? Oh yeah, that's right, you ignorant tool, you obviously haven't read JACK in this thread, nor do you KNOW jack about the people in this thread who HAVE stated some minor objection to a tattoo.
Good work Lt. Columbo, you got me all figured out. You are right I don't KNOW Jack about the people on this forum, never claimed to. Do you know the definition of a hypocrite? Merriam Webster's definition is a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings. To put it in terms you'll understand...you don't KNOW Jack about me.
The funny part is, each and every one of those people would tell you I AM what you're screeching about, and I DO have a tattoo, and plan to get more. What is it that you get? That you're an ignorant ass with little to no comprehension skills and are far quicker to judge another person than the person you've painted as a boogeyman in your pitifully narrow mind?
Boogeyman? You really hold yourself in high regard don't you? You have a tat? Great, I have 10 and I've done tattoo's on more people than I care to remember but that is really off topic. I hate to play the same card again but I've got to point out how hypocritical it is to pass judgement on me while calling me judgemental.
Better to remain silent and have the world judge you a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Asshat.
It would've been nice if you had taken your own advice. Look I would love to trade barbs with you all day but it's boring. My post was not directed at you but you seemed to think that it was and for that I am sorry. I am not sorry for your overwhelming need to feel accepted and appear to be cool in a limited social setting like this. Let's just agree to dislike eachother and leave it at that.

I still have absolutely no idea why you first went off on your rant about people hating tatoos, I guess anyone even hinting that they don't like tatoos sets you off in a crazy rant. This thread should be pretty fun to watch once Drew comes back.

If only I could use this magic cheese grater to remove my tattoos!!!! I hate them, and anyone who gives tattoos!!!!!!!!
Tats are the scourge of the planet. They should make them illegal and hang anyone who dares put them on people.

I think the message you were so eloquently tyring to convey is the fact that you are indeed an ass.
I don't need eloquence to proudly proclaim I'm an ass, it's just a magical gift I have. Jealous? It's just that I'm an ass who used the exact same process as yourself. The difference between my post and yours is that I at least based it on something in this thread. I can only surmise where you pulled your "facts" from, but judging from the smell emanating from your post, I have a pretty good idea.
You're right, it WAS assumptive and judgemental on my part! Why is it that you can discern this when I've parroted your tactics, yet couldn't refrain from doing exactly the same thing yourself? You do, however, bring up a good point. I SHOULD have looked for an "overwhelming body of evidence to support my argument".
Tell us again how much research YOU did in judging those you posted about. Yet again, the facts point to you whining about someone doing exactly what you've done. Why do you view it differently when someone's used your methods against you? I'll point it out to you again, since you aren't grasping it. The people who posted stating the rather MINOR disagreement with tattoo's would most DEFINITELY crush your ignorant stereotyping judgemental post, and all the "overwhelming body of evidence" you used to "support your argument".
Not only can't you help yourself from disparaging those people you've gotten an "overwhelming body of evidence" against, you go on to state my sentence structure and phrasing might place me somewhere near Tupelo. Perhaps that's another shot at those "ig'nant folk" whose voices you keep hearing in your head while reading this thread (although where in this thread anything remotely close to your charges was said is still being investigated. Have Velma bring the Mystery Mobile around front so we can get on the case, quick-like!). You'll have to forgive me. Being from Tupelo, my sentence structure and phrasing seem to trouble you, but I can understand, what with such gems as:
Have you patented your the technology
based off of a single post, It's not like there is an overwhelming body of evidence to support your arguement here.
Let's just agree to dislike eachother and leave it at that.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I think mom helped you spell "Tupelo" correctly :laugh2: (in case you missed it, them's jokes, son!)
The ironic thing is that everyone and their mother, their friend's mom, the dog down the street, and the fish in Uncle Bubba's pond out back was able to pick up on you posting a reply straight out of "The Tool's Handbook Of Replies", and when called on it, having it pointed out and served up to you on a nice steaming pile that should have been saved for your top tank, you continue to act as if the problem is with me pointing it out, and then proceed to call ME a hypocrite! I simply used the criteria set forth by the poster I was responding to. Check Merriam Webster for "ironic". I have a feeling that one was lost on you. :laugh2: I'm still trying to figure out WHO your post was directed at, since I've pointed out all the information you've missed, but if I didn't stand up for my fellow card carrying communist left wing members of moveon.org who would? Won't SOMEONE think of the card carrying communist left wing members moveon.org? OH THE HUGE MANATEE! :'(
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. See if your phone's working. I told Kettle you'd be calling him back black ::)
-
I'm confussed... is this the thread where we post out tattoos or is this the thread where we jump all over the kid who had no idea what he was muttering when he began typing.....
tylerdurden a word of advice before you start typing more stuff that only digs your hole deeper.... THINK before you type, READ the subject before you type.... apologize for trolling in this thread..... delete your account and come back as someone else with a different attitude....
of course you won't listen and you will quickly learn that this friendly forum can also make it not so friendly to those who choose to make it that way........
the black trench coat wearing wannabe loner forum isn't here.......
now if you go back and reread the thread you will see that no one said anything bad about tattoos they only stated that tattoos weren't for them.... I can however bump the thread where the topic did take the course you are hoping to seek with this one but I'd rather just sit back and watch as you foolishly defend yourself.....
now who's got the popcorn?
oh and Drew I think he said bad stuff again...........
-
tyler,
Don't bother arguing with Drew. Have you even seen his tattoo?
Tell me he's not a *total* hypocrite!
