Any objections to a Penny Arcade tattoo?

I'm a longtime reader of PA, although not a contributor to the forums. Has the subject of Gabe's art as tattoo material come up much? Does anyone think he would object? I'd ask him myself, but I'm not sure an email would reach him. I'm scheduled to go under the needle this Saturday.

    Gabe and tycho don't read the forums. An email would be fine.

    You should get a tattoo of his son on your chest.

    I'll bet he would love that.

    I don't think he really has any say over what you paster on your body, ill-advised as it might be.

    Me, I'd go for scarification. Whatever your decision, I am sure Gabe will be delighted. As will all of us, for that matter! Godspeed.

    yeah probably should just shoot gabe an email about it

    although if you're looking for mass approval you may have made a mistake

    Wow, I'd forgotten how famously active these forums were...

    It's my first tattoo, and I've decided to go with the Lookouts logo, with the wife and kids' names in place of "May We Die In The Forest". I've always kinda wanted a tattoo, but felt that it had to be somewhat original, and definitely meaningful. Between enjoying Mike's art, Jerry's writing, and all the good things they do, it just seemed like the right choice for me.

    I was about to say a PA tattoo is a bad idea but something with your wife and kids is much less lame

    still kind of lame but in an endearing way

    Alright, no I'm sorry I take it back, please don't do this thing to yourself or to your wife and kids, apparantly.

    Penny Arcade tattoos are cursed, you know.

    If you get your wife's name tattooed with PA stuff, she will cheat on you within a month.

    True story.

    I'm not asking for mass approval, I'm asking if the question has come up before, and if anyone knew of Gabe's opinion on the matter.

    Lookouts has been with me as a good idea for many months, so I'm feeling good about it. The spider wearing skulls for accessories crossed my mind briefly, but _briefly_.

    there have been quite a few dudes asking about this in the past

    they've all received this exact same reaction

    pretty sure that unless you're going to sell tickets to viewings of your tattoo for $5 a pop, gabe and tycho don't really care

    Is it now a good time to ask if Mike has at least the same tatoos as Gabriel?

    I know I know, keep the comic sacred and all that but I don't recall exactly. He has a few...?

    As long as you've thought about it and plotted it out, go for it. Just make sure your artist is up to the job!
