I love all the "Girls won't sex you if you got a nerd tattoo!" from dudes who probably aren't really in a position to give out advice on girls or sexing. My entire right arm is covered in 80's cartoon villain tattoos. I have Skeletor and Panthor about a foot long on my forearm, and then on the other side is Mumm-Ra. My first tattoo ever was a Cobra logo on my bicep and i've got Mon-Starr from fucking Silverhawks on the inside of my elbow. The only blank space is the inside of my upper arm, where i will get Megatron. But i moved away from my tattoo artist and haven't found a new one yet. Trust me, if you just man up and get what your little nerdy heart desires, nobody's really gonna question you. Not in real life. I've never once gotten any shit about my tattoos, and never once has it done anything but help matters from a sexing up standpoint.
Having played WoW for three years (and as a Rogue the entire time, well, along with everything else), I've had the ocassional flight of fancy to get the "Rogue Symbol" (a circle with a dagger in it) somewhere, but doubt I ever will. I'm an addict, but I'm not THAT addicted.
Non-gaming related, I've pondered the typical Canadian Flag or "Made in Canada" for a while.
One that I've thought of getting for nearly a decade; when I was in highschool, I cut the outside of my right upper arm (halfway between elbow and shoulder, roughly) on a metal L-Bracket someone had left in a wall. It wasn't terribly deep or painful, but it did leave a scar that's a fairly straight line. Thus, I've always wanted to put above or below it...
"You must be this tall to ride."
It makes me laugh, juevenille as it is.
Edit: it helps that I'm 6'5", so the tattoo is around the 5' mark, and thus, most women on earth would meet this 'requirement'.

I've always wanted to want a tattoo enough to get one (if that makes sense). I like the 5 year rule, but nothing has ever passed the test. I've only really had one experience/lesson that I'd like to keep with me for ever (enough to get it tatt'd) but it doesn't really lend itself to graphical expression, which sucks.
Also, I've always wanted a triforce tattoo, but really, who hasn't?
I have always wanted a very small tattoo of Pi somewhere. I'm and engineering major, give me a break.
Bottom of your big toe on your right foot.
I am pretty sure this is a John Dies At The End reference, and if I am right then you are awesome.
I'm so transparent.

If you're planning on getting a tattoo and then lying about what it means to everyone, you've sort of failed at life. You fail for getting something indelibly stitched into your arm that you're apparently ashamed of, and you fail for caring enough about what random strangers think to lie to them.
If I wanted a tattoo, it would be of Mario, or something. And if people asked me what it was, I would say, "It's a cartoon plumber from one of my favorite gaming series." And if they sneered at me, I would shake my head sadly and get on with my life, happy in the knowledge that I don't need to waste any more attention on them.

Amen. I think the same way about loaning people a little cash now and then. If I get my $10 back, great. If not, then it only cost me $10 to find out that they're not trustworthy.
Pretty good deal, if you ask me.

advantage of mario is, you could mock people for not knowing that motherfucker.

I agree so goddamn hard.
Besides, this isn't 1986, video games aren't the exclusive purview of nerds and losers anymore. The last time I saw a Zelda tattoo in person it was on a cute goth girl who had a triforce on one arm and a 1-up mushroom on the other.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
Haha, if any of you watched G Gundam, you remember the King of Hearts tat on the back of Domon's hand? With the heart and crown and crossed swords? I saw a guy in the anime section of Suncoast with that exact thing. Kinda cool... but kinda weird too.

Saw a hot punk rock girl with the Triforce on the back of her hand, right where it is on Link, Zelda and Gannon's hands.
Edit: Come to think of it I can see that tattoo making a lot of girls hotter. Unless they all did it.

The tattoo I'm considering getting is an armband about two inches wide of leopard print, bordered on each edge by the symbols representing the days on the Aztec calendar.

I've occasionally considered getting the Brotherhood of Steel emblem on my left arm.
Still, not too big on either needles or pain, and I really don't care about it that much, so probably not.
Did you like the original Fallouts better or did you like Fallout: Tactics better?
Because that is the Tactics BoS symbol; the one in the originals had the large gear on the other side. It's a really small detail, but hey if you're going to get something permanently inked into your flesh, I figure you'd want it to be perfect.
I mean, how the fuck is a rose or barbed wire wrapped around a cross or a dragon eating the world or a tiger with an angel on it's back or any number of stupid shit any less retarded than getting something gaming related?

I actually saw this on a girl at Hot Topic(D: my friend dragged me in), and wondered if she even know which was which. She walked over, asked if we needed help(she worked there) and said "By the way" and pointed them out and said "Courage, Wisdom, Power".
I think I popped like 9 boners.
But regardless, I'm very much of the mindset that if you're gonna LIE about what it is to someone, then you've really missed the point of getting a tattoo in the first place.
I mean, look at a lot of the older classic tattoos. Lucky 13, 8-balls, poker hands, pin-up girls. They were references to popular culture. How is getting a Triforce all that different from getting a poker hand?

The first difference that comes to mind is that the Triforce is fucking awesome.
hell yea sweet posts dudes... and no i wont ever regret the OP tattoo... its just too damn awsome. YodaTuna yea you can get the same tat if I NEVER FUCKING SEE YOU in real life. as to the whole no sex cuz of the gaming tat.. yea eff that i wont want to date a lady that doesnt like me cuz of my passion for vid games. if anything the tat will make me more attractive to the chick i date. but yea i wna see more posts of peoples tattoo's that are video game related, cuz i need more ideas for future tattoos. gettin a tat is just like eating one twisty cheeto, you just want more and more.
oh and to the people biatchin about the pain and wutnot... it really honestly doesnt hurt that much at all. (at least mine didnt, and it took up my whole upper back). the only part that hurt was the part in between the feet directly on my spine. and that didnt even hurt that bad.
Okay here is a slightly different version of the symbol I posted couple pages ago, it has the transmutation circle on it.
It's growing on me.
Make it a caduceus and I'd get it if I was a med student.
Just to clarify, do you mean Caduceus(Hermes's symbol) or Rod of Asclepius(Medical symbol), since they're kinda mixed.
On the other hand, I doubt I'll ever get a tattoo. Not that I wouldn't consider it, but due to a skin condition, it'd get probably really fucked up over time, and who wants a permanent ink smudge?

More power to those who get them.
Caduceus, I've seen it used as a medical symbol more often.
Though thank you for a new thing to pedanterate about, I knew a symbol of Hermes was a weird thing to represent doctoring.

If I said "I don't see the point of Starter jackets except to identify which black-people to avoid", how would you parse that?
That's pretty sweet. Is that fresh or something? It looks fake.
No idea, it's not mine. Does look fresh though.
This is weird because I was just listening to the soundtrack for this. It's cool.
As for having to lie about it, if a woman couldn't accept me and my love of video games, I wouldn't want to date her anyway.

sometimes I wouldn't want to shout out what it means, like in a really loud club or something
But for some reason I've always gotten the feeling someone would see it and accuse me of being a nazi or some sort of secret eastern european fascist.
