Last week I got a tattoo I've been planning for years, and while I got it abit later then I had hoped, it was still 25 years in the making (I'm only 23 in 9 days, so yeah:P)

Nice tattoo I was thinking about getting a Green Lantern symbol, but now I'm thinking of getting something from back to the future on me, but don't know what other than the delorean. I'm a chicken and will probably never end up getting one though.

I'm not gonna get one because I'll get tired of it and regret it eventually.

But that's a nice Master Sword.

I would never get a tattoo. they're permanent and painful to get. Like Renesch said, I would get tired of it and regret it.

People change. You may not like what your tattoo is as you get older. Then you're screwed.

I have three. I only regret one, but it will be easy to cover up... yes it was my first one too.

I have a website: www.the-manleys.blogspot.com

Haha, tattoos aren't painful! I have 7 and they didn't hurt to get.

It seemed really cool when I was younger. I'd never get one now though.

1) They're expensive
2) You get old and they get wrinkled, stretched out, and faded
3) If it's botched, it's ugly forever
4) Depending on where you get one, you'll always have to go out of your way to cover it up if you have a white collar job.
5) Needles hurt!!! (This was probably the one thing that stopped younger me)

If you want to get one after seriously considering all these factors - then tattoos are for you. Take the plunge. For me the negatives far outweigh the positives.

I am way too lazy to think of something clever.

"Only one"? That's one too many. You act like it's not so bad to live the rest of your life with it.

to some of us, tattoos aren't just images on skin. they're permanent reminders of what we were doing, who we were with, what was going on in our lives, and perhaps most importantly who we were at the time it was done. I won't deny that there are plenty of people who get something done and then regret it years later, but that isn't the case for everyone. :3

@WhiteLayer: haha, lucky! mine hurt, but some places are worse than others, lol, and i don't mind the pain. :3

well tattoos arent permanent, that depends on your definition of painful, so really its all about a individuals resistence to it or how much willpower they have to go through it

That's what pictures are for. Not trying to be mean I wouldn't have to hide them on a daily basis, as with some tattoos, and I could throw them away if I wanted to, if my relationship with that person turned sour.

I have 5, but no gaming tattoos yet
One memorial, two nordic runes, and two personal ones
I wanted to get the chain tattoo from Bioshock, but then I google image searched it, and got like 9 billion hits, so no thanks. I may get Captain Falcon's logo on my shoulder or something, though
Always wanted Vega's tattoo, but I'd never go for anything that big that would require me to keep my stomach in shape to keep it from getting stretched out, though, so I thought I'd get it modified to go from my lower arm, wrap around, with the head on the chest
And like 5-6 others

New name, same game.

... and tattoos aren't pictures? not trying to be mean

It's great that you've made that decision for yourself, man, but not everyone's gonna feel the same way you do about 'em. I've got no problems with hiding my own ink from people if I don't want to show it off. also, idk what you're talking about with relationships, but everyone knows getting a significant other's name on you is bad luck, lol.

getting back to the point of the thread, i'm currently trying to work out my next tattoo, but i don't have anything video game related on me yet. hopefully i'll figure out the layout and get to changing that soon :3

I'd just like to say that if someone in this thread feels that they could never get a tattoo because they think that they'll eventually get tired of them, then YES, it's probably best for you if you never get a tattoo. But please don't assume that everyone else thinks just like you do. I love all my tattoos and I've had them for a long time. I could never get them removed and wouldn't dream of it, because they're just as much a part of me as every other part of my body is.

Tattoos aren't for everyone, but to some people they're an important part of life.

I thought you were a girl...

Never been interested in having a tattoo and probably never will. Once you get one, its hard to get rid of it, unless you lazer it off or something.

But nice Master Sword tattoo BedCommando. still find that name weird

I don't think I'll ever get a tattoo, but my friend Sarah and I used to always joke about getting the omnitrix tattooed on our wrists!
