Awesome looking Slig, very nicely detailed. Good tattoo artist you got there. I wouldn't mind a number of tattoos, but that isn't a tad too many, is it? Or are you REALLY obsessed with it?

Yah, want 'dese somepoint:

^ Lol Zerox. I want those two on my shoulders, but I think I'll definately have the Necrum logo on my back.

I almost did the same thing, but decided against it, I didn't want to "waste" my shoulders one such small pieces. I want to eventually design some half sleeves and want a clean surface to work with.

:

I always applaud people who get tattoos associated with gaming, because they're always subject to the whole "What if you don't like that game in 10 years time?" criticism, and they still get the tattoos THEY want on THEIR bodies.

It's on my left forearm, just below my elbow, I'm hoping to get another on the other side very soon, as well as hopefully a greeter, a slog and of course Abe himself on the left arm within time.

Exoddus was a massive part of my childhood, so this is my way of immortalizing it

Whenever someone says something like that I always fire back that I have been into gaming for 23 years (I'm 27) and it is still going strong. Then ask them how long they have liked "insert whatever is in their tattoo." Some people I just have to laugh at because I know they got their design from some flash off of the wall at the tattoo parlor and they usually will just walk away because they have no way of defending themselves.

People are just jealous because your tattoo represents something to you, and the only thing they can say about theirs is they though it looked cool when they got it.


I am going to make one comment of your future plans. It sounds like you are going to just place a bunch of oddworld images together, and well that is going to look like shit. Schedule some time with your tattoo artist and bring in a ton of oddworld images and shots of the different backgrounds, etc. I would also recommend getting the Oddworld art book and letting him use that also. Sit down and design an entire sleeve for your left arm. This way instead of having an arm that is a bunch of oddworld tattoo's you have have an arm that is a work of art.

Hey, nice tatoos here! :D

Heh, that kinda gives me the idea to make the same tattoos as Abe with the scrab and paramite symbol on the hands and this sybmbol on the chest.

I won't do that (probably because I don't have a man chest :lol:) but it surely would be cool to see people getting these tattoos like this.

I only want one. I think too many tatooes can make people look ugly. Less than 4 are acceptable. :D

Rad mate! When I'm old enough Im gonna get one. My mum and dad have a lot. Mum has dragons and faeries and this massive unicorn/pegasus on her back, and flowers and butterflys while Dad has tigars and a lung dragon, with spiders and crosses and bats and the like. I will get a oddworld tatoo, a wee bit away, sure, but it'll be worth it. Great man!

Whoah, man. I wish, I had parents like yours. :D My parents are gonna kill me if I'd get a tattoo.
I guess, I'll wait till I'm old enough to go into business for myself to live somewhere far away from home so that they can't reach me then. XD

That would suck. I was the last person in my family to get tattoos. Both my parents, my bro and his wife all have at least 1 tattoo. I actually planned my oddworld tattoo so I would get it the day before I spent a week at my parents house. It is on my back so I can't reach it well, so I had my mom help me with all of the aftercare. :fuzcool::fuzcool:

Out of curiosity, what aftercare do you have to do after you get a tattoo?

Flamefox 07-02-2007 04:30 AM

my parent will let me. :D as long as I ask them frist, its kool. Yeah, my Mum and Dad are strange, they have Harleys and stuff. I really love oddworld stuff. As you do.

Marvak 07-06-2007 02:06 AM

I wanna get this tattooed on my shoulder blade, or lower back. But I know my parents won't let me. *waits impatiently for 18th birthday*

zimfromBM 07-08-2007 08:10 AM

I might get the scrab scar, but where? Should I be loyal and get it on the back of my hand? If I do so it will probably scare anyone who sees it, which is good
