Oddworld Tattoo
 
I am a huge fan of Gaming tattoos. I have several myself and finally got around to getting an Oddworld tattoo.

I assume I don't need to describe what it is. The picture was taken about 2 hours after it was done. LMK what you think. :fuzsmile:

I cant realy tell from your image but is there some kind of way you can show us how big it is.

Jordan 03-11-2007 05:00 AM

Awesome dude! ;) I was thinking of getting a Necrum tatoo somewhere on my back when I'm 16, and if my parents'll let me. Maybe if I can get it done, they'll see how mad I am about it.

Xavier 03-11-2007 05:09 AM

looking truely good, excellent choice of pattern

Killy 03-11-2007 05:12 AM

Looks awesome! I'm getting a tat myself, of the BoS symbol from Fallout. ;)
Good choice putting it on the right shoulder blade, but do you have anything on the left one to even it out or just that right one?

Paramite of War 03-11-2007 08:15 AM

It looks hot of the Press :)
Also this may or may not be common knowledge but the 5 little horizontal lines in the middle stand for each of the 5 Oddysee gaames OI said they would make.

Arxryl 03-11-2007 09:09 AM

that's awesome! I want to get something like that on my chest... that'd be cool.

How much did it cost?

I want to get another one of my left should blade because I like to have my tattoos balanced on the right and left.

Here are my other gaming tattoos on my calves. Both are about 5" in diameter. I am on a schedule of getting one every 6 months, so I am just getting started. :fuzgrin:

I knew about that. The tattoo artist thought I was crazy because I counted the lines about 3 times before I OKed the design.

It cost $180 plus tip. I have 2 tattoo artists that I go to, both are very good and in high demand; so they cost a little more. You get what you pay for.

Arxryl 03-11-2007 10:47 AM

Cool. and that Zelda tatoo is awesome! Very detailed all of those are!

So $180, and I could have a tatoo... that's not too bad.

snuzi 03-11-2007 01:53 PM

Dude, love the triforce tattoo. It looks freaking awesome!

Wil 03-11-2007 04:19 PM

That looks very cool; my compliments to you on your decision, and to the artist on his work. Best of luck with your future skinart. ;)

skillya_glowi 03-11-2007 04:52 PM

The tattoo looks awesome! And a tribute to Oddworld as well. I wholeheartedly support those who have skinart of Oddworld on themselves somewhere. :D

One every six months?
That's kinda extreme, don't you think?

Not really. I'm turning 27 next month and I have been wanting to get tattoos for years. I wanted the Metroid tattoo since I was 16. All my tattoos are well thought out and not something I get on a whim. So far I only have 3, and have plans for 4 more, so I think I am taking it slow.

When it comes to the tattoo community, I am anything but extreme.

Xavier 03-12-2007 02:00 AM

Your other tatoos look truely good too!
Well, as long as you have put a lot of tought in it, I don't have anything against people using videogame logos as tatoos.

Xx_Abe_xX 03-12-2007 03:27 AM

All of the tats are awesome! But the Necrum tat is still the best! Go NECRUM!!

Alf Shall Rise 03-12-2007 12:04 PM

Cool. Whoever gets a tattoo is awesome and brave; if I saw that needle going my way, I'd get in my 'self-defense' mood.

Anyway, the tattoos are very pretty :p What do you plan on getting for your fourth tattoo?

It's a mindset some people like tats some people don't it's the way your brain works.

I hate ponies... I chop them in half.

Paramite of War 03-15-2007 01:35 PM

In Borat, Borat's wife says she'll snap his cock in half if he cheats on her.

Nate 03-15-2007 02:48 PM

And that's relevant because? Get back on topic people.

toxicallpro 03-19-2007 12:49 PM

awesome!!!!
 
That's awesome, man!!! I was going to get the same tattoo about 5 years ago, but i ended up getting the Paramite and Scrab tribals instead. I also got the curled up mudoken skeleton on the top of my back. You can check them out in the TATS section of the oddworld main website.

You should make sure to email your tattoo to Alf from fan relations. He LOVES seeing oddworld tattoos. That is if anybody actually CHECKS the oddworld email anymore.

Paramite of War 03-19-2007 01:30 PM

Dude I don't know how to tell you if you don't know but........Alf died.

toxicallpro 03-19-2007 01:40 PM

i know that Alf Gambel died. Which is super sad. But by "alf" i mean the person that runs the "alf's rehab and tea". Whoever runs it pretends to be the fictional character Alf who is named after the late Alf Gambel. I'm not sure WHO it is that actually runs the oddworld fan relations. Unless it WAS the real Alf who i emailed back and forth with so many times, but i'm pretty sure it wasn't

Xavier 03-20-2007 12:35 AM

no it wasn't the real Alfred who played Alf...
you can still try to mail him, I'm not sure the adress is totally dead

I love these tattoos!

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.

Here's my Slig, done a couple of months ago:

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...007-03-161.jpg

This was the first pic I took of it, so it's a little fresh and bubbly.

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 :)

moxco 06-29-2007 12:20 PM

Wow. Nice tat!

But, are you sure you want to get that many?
