I got a oddworld tattoo for my 19th bday :D
 
Ill post the pic below. but the reason i got the tattoo is because ever sence i was 6 (when i got the game). funny how me and my dad decided to get the game. we went to i think CompUSA or something it was some store and we saw this white box with abes head in a manhole and cool looking creatures on it, so dad thought fuck it lets get this and try it. We spend months playing through the crazy levels with the amazing scenery and music that goes perfect with each theme of the maps. I was amazed at this game and i had even passed the game around to friends to get them hooked on Oddworld. Ever sence ive been a big big fan of Oddworld games. I Just bought the OddBoxx last night after finding out it was released and ive been waiting for it for a long time.but anyway, This game has effected my life so much, it was the 1 thing me and my dad played through for hours. i dont think we ever shared something with such amazment i felt. and it has been a part of our lives sence. So i decidced to get the Mudomo vault symbol tattooed on my arm. My dad is getting the same thing here soon. I will always and forever have oddworld in my life now. It was the only thing i could relate to back then . I didnt have that many friends so i turned to abe and idk i felt liek he understood me? i have no idea lmao but anyway heres the pic, it turned out perfect. In the furture i plan on getting the mudanchee symbol on the other forearm. And with this, i will always remember the fun times i had with my dad playing this game. My opinion, Oddworld was the best and still is best side scrolling game ive ever played. im so glad we ran into it randomly at that store :D



TL;DR: got a tattoo cause the game effected life so much

It also affected your ability to hold a camera steady, apparently.
Looks good though. I think. :p

To be honest, that tattoo looks fucking cool. Some members have tattoos of Paramites and such (If I remember correctly.) and in my opinion, those don't look so good, I prefer the symbols.

Ridg3 08-12-2011 10:55 AM

I have one as well, the polar opposite though as to what you have... *looks for image*

It's pretty small and I'm going to try and expand the whole tattoo out further just so it's not just 'that tiny tattoo.'

I'm going to keep the idea of the expanded work on the same level as Oddworld such as the artistry used in the game. You won't see me getting Abe's face plastered on my back or a slig on my arm.

Plexius 08-12-2011 06:12 PM

I'm hopefully getting that symbol as well, same place other arm lmao but looks good bro xD
yeah i like the art better, like if i were to get a sleve, id get a jungle with mudokons chanting and stuff lol

On the topic of tattoos, heard yesterday that someone got themselves a tattoo of one of Matriar's original characters. Weird.

STM 08-13-2011 03:18 AM

I'm gonna get some elaborate oddworld tattoo encircled by barbed wire this year or when I'm 18...gonna be awesome.

Yours looking fucking sick Ridg and Plexius. Btw what rune is that Plex?

Dynamithix 08-13-2011 03:29 AM

Barb wire tattoos look dumb.

STM 08-13-2011 04:20 AM

You're entitled to your opinion...but frankly I don't care what it is.

Star tattoos look dumb. God damn they're stupid. I only say this because so many people have them.

That's an awesome tattoo. My thoughts about getting an Oddworld tattoo are resurfacing, but I'm not sure I could go through with it. I'll see how I am in a few years.

Is it just me, or do they seem to be disproportionately common amongst gay porn stars? I've been wondering whether it's a thing.

If I were to get an Oddworld tattoo I would get the OWI logo on my chest.

not just limited to the porn stars.. ive seen real gays with the star tattoos, it must be a thing

JennyGenesis 08-13-2011 08:27 AM

Most common tattoo I see is women having stars or flowers on their feet.

Dynamithix 08-13-2011 09:56 AM

Or a rose.

E: oh wait, rose is a flower.

Jordan 08-13-2011 10:02 AM

I can't say I've seen porn stars with them, if I had, I'd have been paying more attention to... something else. But if that's the case then people in real life would most likely like to imitate them to look 'acceptable' to society. After all, some gays like to become sheep and follow the crowd!

Plexius 08-13-2011 04:23 PM

Mine is the Mudomo Vault symbol (Paramite) the other guy is Mudanchee Vault (Scrab) and good idea with the barb wire man :D sounds cool

STM 08-13-2011 04:32 PM

Thanks very much.

Nath 08-13-2011 11:35 PM

Barb wire reminds me of Pamela Anderson

Mudokon_Master 08-14-2011 01:28 AM

Fuck I'm getting an Oddworld tattoo when I turn 18. Not even kidding, I want a fucking paramite!
It just looks amazing!
Or I could be like Nowtun and get Abe's Chest tattoo on my back. I wouldn't get a tattoo on my chest though.

STM 08-14-2011 02:47 AM

When I was younger and I didn't want to be a barrister I wanted this: http://www.infobarrel.com/media/image/54075.gif

Needless to say it would look unprofessional if I had a visible tattoo, but then why have one if people can see it.

Mudokon_Master 08-14-2011 02:50 AM

Oooohh *touches*
I like tattoos. I don't know why.

Yeah. It'd be rather pointless, wouldn't it?

STM 08-14-2011 03:36 AM

Can't I mean can't....fuck.

Crashpunk 08-14-2011 06:09 AM

Oddworld tats always looks awesome.

I'm still waiting for someone to get the one on Abe's Chest on there Chest.

Plexius 08-14-2011 09:12 AM

Laser 08-14-2011 02:02 PM
