Here's what I am getting next month...

Dragon_Rune.jpg

First one for those who don't play FPS, or rather don't play halo.. It's a suiciding grunt holding 2 plasma grenades. Woot.

The second, is from my alltime favorite RPG series.. Suikoden. It's one of the 27 true runes from the first game. The Dragon Rune controls the existence of dragons within the world. I love dragons but i'd like a unique tattoo, granted I may not be the only person with this one.. I don't care. I love it.


Post your gamer nerd tattoos! I want to seee (p.s.- When your tattoo started to heal and shed it's skin, did it smell like GAK? Mine does ;_;)

    I'm not down with needles, but I always thought the best nerd tat would be the lightning plasmid effect from Bioshock on your hand in UV reactive ink. More or less invisible during the day, and pretty bad ass (in fact, perhaps more bad ass) even if you don't know the source.

    I don't have any game-ish tattoos (I should look into that) but I do have movie-ish and soon enough (when I get the money) book-ish tattoos.

    I don't have Gamerish tattoos... yet.

    BUT. My tattoos did shed. DO NOT peel them in the shower. I don't know if it was the tattoo, or if I was sick, but man oh man... I peeled mine, and I thought I was going to pass out.

    You shouldn't peel them at all, ever. The skin flakes need to fall away naturally or else you risk pulling out some of the ink with the skin.

    EDIT: Since this is not a PAX specific topic it probably belongs in another forum.

    This is not the appropriate subforum for this. Try one of the general discussion subforums on this board.
