    Are you talking about additions and whatnot as far as the future background? If so, then it wouldn't really have any bearing on the symbol tat since that'll probably be on its lonesome (sleeveline; jobs and all that). I intended on keeping it just the red but could you post yours so I could see what the outline does to hurt/help it? No rush or anything, it'd just be neat to get a decent gauge on the potential outcome.

    On a side note, this "No Futurama on Monday" bullshit is fucking lame.

    I'm curious as to why I would supposedly think the Master Sword is stupid in ten years when I've thought it was awesome for fifteen years so far. Actually, if I ever think that the Sword that is Evil's Bane is stupid, someone should kill me, because it's a doppelganger.

    Yes, i forget that not everyone has sleeve plans. :) Here's my Cobra tat. I went with a stylized and outlined version, and i kinda just wish i'd stuck with the straight-up toy stamp. And ignore the weird tiger striping behind it. I have that behind all the tattoos on that arm, it was really supposed to tie the sleeve together. I do kinda hate it now though, and once the sleeve is finished i'll be blacking out everything behind it. So i can get the Cobra fixed at that point as well.

    The first appearance of the Master Sword was Zelda: A Link to the Past in 1992. They've retconned the original Magic Sword from the original Zelda into the Master Sword, though. Ever since that old dude told me to seek the sword that is evil's bane the Master Sword has been pretty much the whole point of playing Zelda games for me.

    If I'm going to be the 7,000th person to get a triforce symbol of any sorts, by golly its going to be original.

    Incase some people don't remember/haven't seen it, this is the symbol I want to get done:
    600px-Binding_transmutation_circle_.png

    Lately I have been thinking of adding some colour to it, such as adding colour to the central point, the cross with the snake, like making it blood red, or making it an aquaish colour.

    But mainly I am kinda curious of what suggestions you guys have for adding colour.

    Just get that exact image done. They can do the blue first, then all the black. Make sure to get it perfectly square too, for symmetry.

    Heh... there are only two tattoos I find particularly appealing. The angel wings on the back, and the entire text of "The Peloponnesian War" in the original greek around the rest of the back. Some people think I take history too seriously.

    But neither of those are game tattoos so please, continue on with the triforces.

    Meh since we don't have a general tattoo thread might aswell talk about it here. You can say the greek tattoo is somehow connected to God of War and hence a geeky gaming tattoo. :D

    That's REALLY what I'm worried about. Pain isn't shit, it's the looks that get ya.

    I'm kinda looking into working in either the Pentagon or some similar situation once I get through grad school, and while "OMG IM FUCKIN LINK" is amazing for the first 3 years of college, I doubt if Sergent hardass'll like it.

    Hmmm, make sure you check the regulations. I think hand tattoos are allowed if they aren't obscene or racist, but I'm still sure they will be frowned upon. If you are totally set on a military life, make sure you check it out with a recruiter or someone first, you don't want to be forced out of the forces by a tattoo.

    Why do you even need the black? Just get the blue done, that color looks great in tattoo form. If you're concerned about it not "popping" enough as just the blue, get a light greywash done to simulate a drop-shadow effect.

    Not so much military life as a government job, a diplomat, or a FP guy. I'm almost SURE that just getting "looked down upon" would fuck me up the ass as is.

    But the way I see it, I get it removed with a laser, and it still looks cool.

    Damn right. I've had most of my nerd tattoos for years, and i don't regret a damn thing. I have a tattoo of goddamn Mon-Starr that is not covered up by clothing, and there is no regret. I cannot imagine why all you people think tattoos for Zelda and what have you are a bad idea, when i am rocking villains from 80's b-list cartoons. It has not affected my day to day life. I have gotten married and gotten jobs since having it. None of this imaginary bad shit that people without tattoos, wives, or jobs say is going to happen, will EVER happen. Get what you wanna get, that's what tattoos are all about.
    The only tiny bit of naysaying that is at all relevant is this. If you have a specific career in mind, DO check the regulations of companies you want to work for. Hand tattoos are grand, and i have several, but not everywhere likes them.
    Do not, ever, under any circumstances, get anyone's name tattooed on you unless they are dead or your child. Or both.
    And see, that's pretty much it. After that, get whatever the hell you wanna get. But i'm telling ya, you come to ME for a Tasmanian Devil tat, i'm gonna fuck it up. On purpose. That'll teach ya.

    Possibly.

    One of my other ideas was to have just the cross/snake/wings coloured while leaving the symbol in the background black.

    And what's with all the people being so negative with the tattoo O_o, if you don't even like tattoos in the first place you shouldn't be in this thread, and if you do like tattoos, whats wrong with this one?

    Well it is from FMA, but I really like the symbol and the meaning behind it, or at least what it means to me. I wanted this for quite a few years already. Plus what's wrong with it, it seems like I am the only one that is getting berated in this thread for wanting a somewhat geeky tattoo.
