I think the best quailty AO scar picures are on TOGG. also Why did OWI change the tattoo designs?

pretty sure that the AE symbols are the ones representing the Mudanchee & Mudomo vaults in Necrum, whereas the AO symbols represent Scrabania & Paramonia, which aren't associated with the vaults of Necrum. scrabs also resided in the Mudanchee vaults and paramites in the Mudomo vaults, that's the sometimes confusing similarity.

hopefully someone can confirm this as i'm too knackered to check.

Yep, that's right.

Spacefiller.

Max? :tard:

Yeah, that's right. No idea why they changed them, though. Probably just thought they'd look cooler. The in-universe explanation is that Abe's tattoos mystically grow over his body. At least, I always read that literally rather than taking it as a reference to Abe's penchant for getting new tat(s).

Good job on choosing the AO ones, they are far cooler, and if tattoos weren't permanent I might consider getting them myself... and the chest one, too. Can't wait to see some pictures of them :)

a brilliant way to make all your teachers efforts to actually teach you, void.

Why stop at tatoos? I'm thinking, bluey green skin dye, big bloodshot eyes, a long ponytail, and nothing but a loincloth :D

I vote for AO signs. They're better to see on hands... if you change site for tattoo, like shoulders, or bigger skin area, I think are better Mudanchee and Mudomo symbols. That's because they're bigger and on the hands fits better a thinner one.

Say, Mzzah, have you got your tattoos yet?

My tats, finally!
 

Some stuff came up so I had to postpone my original tattooing appointment, but last week I finally got them done! I looooooove my hands now!

The pic is not the best quality but I'll try to get some better shots asap. :fuzsmile:

Huh awesome! ow you need the whole body tat!

Looks really cool! Very impressive.

Now that's one hell of a commitment..

That is awesome.

Just to everyone who sees him with a blue ring around him: RUN!!!

I like the jagged style - it's different to the ones in-game. Also, you have baby hands but man arms. Freaky.

Haha! :fuzgrin:

Well, that's probably true, I don't exactly have those rugged "working man's hands" but the effect is enhanced because they shaved the hands before tattooing on them. Normally I have quite a lot of hair on them, which also was one reason for making the tats a bit more defined, so that they still would look good when the hair grows back. :fuzwink:

Heheh, that's really cool. Lucky they turned out well - you're going to see them all day every day for the rest of your life.

Unless you wear gloves or lose your hands or something.

i like those, a brave commitment having them on your hands.

well, that went out the window. when i've got a few quid, i swear i will. god damn.

Erm.. Mzzah? are you okay?

EVERYBODY RUN!

I do like the idea of a Slig temporary tattoo. Might wait a while though.

Dude, Abe had them on the opposite hands!

Ohoho, you jackass. :tard:

They look great, I really must say. :D

Dumbest thing I've ever seen.

Haha, nice try! :D

I checked, double checked, triple checked and checked and checked again so that that wouldn't happen. I would probably have had to cut of my hands at the wrists and swapped their places if it had happened. :eek:

A YouTube link if you want to check:

Paramite scar at approx 0:32:30

Thanks, that was partly the effect I was going for! :spin:

Mission accomplished.

Have the scars on your respective but cheeks and then i'll be impressed.

Here's one version that can be found on TOGG:

You can find this and both new style hand scars here:

A slightly better shot with a slightly less bad camera. Also, I realize now that my hands are strangely swollen in the earlier picture.

Good luck finding a decent job with those things on your hands. You'll be rejected by 9/10 places the second you shake their hand, which has got to be some sort of record.

On the other hand, the 1/10 places left will be more awesome than you can imagine.

McDonald's isn't awesome...

And... I see what you did there.

Seeing as you prefaced your assessment with the phrase 'decent job', I assumed that McDonalds would already have been discluded.

Yeah, you are in a sense right, I would not recommend tattooing your hands if you aren't shure you won't need to apply for jobs like that.

And I am already 35 years old and well established in the awesomeness business, so I'm all set. :fuzwink:

The only Oddworld tattoo i would get is the Yellow Abe face on my right arm :D
the Hand tattoos looks painfull.

That's pretty awesome. I haven't actually seen someone go through with this, so well done!

most of my mates have tattoos on their fingers and hands. they all have steady jobs, some with pretty fucking high pay. and no, they aren't all labourers. if you can't handle the people staring or the risk of not getting hired, don't have them on your hands. it is a risk, but not always one that turns out terrible or ends you up in McDonalds as Havoc seems to think.

Good... Can I get a job with you?
