I have the Slig Barracks logo on the back of my personalized T-Shirt, and it is kinda cool. The thing about tattoos is, you can't take them off (temporarily). Unlike clothes.

Getting a tattoo is a long-term commitment and I would only recommend it if you are a true Oddworld fan through and through, and I would only suggest torso or back tattoos, which are the easiest to cover up.

There's plenty of other ways to show your devotion to Oddworld, merchandise, artwork, home-made Slig finger puppets... Heck you can probably get a temporary transfer tattoo done first, and see what you think of it. If you don't like it, you can always say no ;).

Never mind then. I'll just get a Prince Albert.

I have three oddworld tattoos already. I have the tribal Scrab and Paramite hand tattoos on the insides of my forearms and i have the curled up mudokon skeleton on the top of my spine. I got all three of them about 8 years and i have never once regretted them. I mean, honestly, how could you ever NOT like oddworld? I've been wearing my tattoos with pride for a long time.

I drew an AE paramite tattoo on the back of my hand in school the other day. It looked awesome, but I had to wash it off and nearly got a detention for doing it.

I'll probably only ever draw oddworld logos on myself in pen when I'm bored and don't have a specific teacher.

You almost got detention for drawing on yourself?! What sort of crazy school do you go to?

I'd love to see some pictures :)

I'm definately gonna get that Oddworld tattoo i mentioned now.
Must invest.

AlexFili 04-20-2009 10:34 AM

That Slig tattoo looks awesome. Congratulations to the tattoo artist :D

Edit: Why not photoshop a picture of yourself and add a Tattoo to it, to see how it looks!

Bullet Magnet 04-20-2009 12:37 PM

Here's an idea: get a marker pen out and draw them on yourself. See how you really like it, how it affects your day and people's reaction to them.

Experiment, people!

toxicallpro 04-20-2009 10:59 PM

these are the forearm tattoos i was talking about. I don't have a picture of the one on my back, but it's pretty much the same skeleton on the dude's "abes exoddus" tattoo above, only it's filled in solid place.


Xavier 04-20-2009 11:33 PM

looking good! thanks for posting

Nice, could you get somebody to take a picture of it and send it in?

MeechMunchie 04-22-2009 11:35 AM

There's some really crazy stuff here> http://www.oddworld.com/alf/ow_skin.shtml

Crashpunk 04-23-2009 09:03 AM

Whoa!? That Rich Figlia guy has the coolest tattoos ever! :D

moxco 04-25-2009 01:49 PM

I wouldn't wear any oddworld, including on my skin. Do you know how much shit my freinds would give me?

Crashpunk 04-28-2009 11:33 PM

Tattoos would be a big thing in your life, but i think it would be worth getting one, Oddworld or not.

Oddworld Tattoos
 
I am "Bob C UK" form the Oddworld skin art page, so I've got the Slig tattoo.

I don't think it matters a pig's burp what your tattoo is in the first instance. You've got to decide if you're happy to live with it for the rest of your life, and then decide what it is. Wives, motorcycles, tattoos.......

I'm still happy with it, along with the Tibetan Kali skeleton design on the other shoulder. The next one was going to be a Slog. It's an original form of artwork not taken out of a well thumbed flash book in a high street parlour. Not sure I would have a dotted line with "cut" around my neck, or a Union Jack Bulldog or a heart with "Muvva" scrolled across it.

People WITH tattoos don't care if you DON'T have a tattoo. Shame it's not true the other way around, but I'm always interested in what folks choose to ink into themselves.

Bob

Thinking about having a "B" tattooed on each bum cheek so it spells my name when I bend over.....

AlexFili 04-30-2009 05:15 AM

Gratz on the Slig tattoo. Might want to re-consider the Bob thing if I were you.

fucking class! i love the old fashioned slig visor.

how much did it cost, Bob?

Xavier 04-30-2009 08:14 AM

Looks really cool... why didn't you get the slog?

Crashpunk 04-30-2009 10:30 AM

Nice tattoo!

PhattBob 05-01-2009 02:58 AM

Slig Tatt
 
Thanks folks.

Mollock's Assistant - it cost £500 over 5 sittings.

Xavier, I will be getting the Slog, when I decide where it goes. I don't want to look like a current bun though...another of my pet tattoo hates.

Bob

Guekko 05-08-2009 02:28 PM

It would be fun actually, some of the OW tats I've seen are nice ^^ Even though Abe's marks are cliché, I still thik that would be great, or a stylised gluk, yep ^^
I am at this moment in time too much of a wuss to get a tattoo though

AlexFili 05-08-2009 02:48 PM

If I did get one, it would be of a Slig cave painting, just to have something unique :p

stonetooth 05-08-2009 06:57 PM

I would get the entire epic saga of Abe's oddysee, starting from his escape on my upper chest/shoulders, and the eventual "death?" of mullock on my legs/feet.

Just kidding, that would be WAYYY over the top.

I would probably just get something small...Like a little slig barracks symbol or another one like that...Hell, i may actually get abe on my arm.

Rampage48 05-18-2009 12:43 PM

Now since im still pretty young.I would want to do a temporary tatto.Like the paramonian and Scrabanian on my hands.That would be sick.

Cymberly 05-18-2009 02:06 PM

Nope. Never. I have a hysteric fear of needles.
