Title: Tattoos
Post by: Haids1987 on February 16, 2009, 09:44:35 PM
So I'm curious--we're obviously all adventure-loving, retro-gaming fantasy freaks here on this forum, right? 

Of course! 

So, adventure-loving, retro-gaming, fantasy freaks: what kind of tattoos do you have that express your love of the weird?  Anyone have any ink that represents our love of King's Quest?  Star Wars tats?  Harry Potter or Twilight?  Nintendo or any other old game?

I personally just got my first tat in November: it's the lamp post from Narnia, and has light streaming out of it.  It has a deep symbolic religious meaning for me, and I absolutely love it.  Tell me about your interesting ink--what is it, and what does it mean to you? And, if possible, post pictures!

Can't wait to hear what you guys have!  ;D

EDIT: All right, here's my lamp post.  It looks kinda weird because it was taken with my cell phone, so the quality isn't very good.  It's on my back, so the angle I'm standing at makes it look lopsided, but believe me, I took crazy precaution to make sure it wasn't!   ;)

Your turn!

Personally I don't have any but Nebel had several. I haven't seen her around here in awhile though.  ???

I might get a tattoo at some point. No idea of what though.

That's a nice lamp you've got there.

No tatoos yet here either but if I do get one i was thinking maybe a little swan thing, because I loved the ugly duckling fairy tale. And swans are very graceful birds, too.

If God wanted me to have a cool design on my skin, he would've put it there.   Not a sermon, just a thought.

That is the most adorable idea ever.  Very original!

I don't have any game related tattoos, but I do have two....

One of them is an Ankh on my right shoulder, and the other is the Eye of Ra (AKA the Eye of Horus) on my left.

They represent my love and obsession with Ancient Egypt. :)

That's awesome!  How long ago did you get them?  Are you planning on getting any more?

Lets see....

I got my ankh in November 07, and the eye April 08 during mine and Amanda's honeymoon... Wow, tis nearly been a year!

As for more, I'm thinking of getting Libra scales someday. :)

Sweeeeeet.   :D

My friend is getting the Ares sign on her chest (OUCHIE!) this weekend.  I don't plan on getting my sign, since it's not very pretty.  (Taurus--who wants the lookalike of ovaries on themself for eternity?   ;D)

If you got one in an inconspicuous spot, your parents need never know.   :devil:  But it's true, tats aren't for everyone.  They are addicting, though.   :yes:

Don't have one, and don't intend on getting one. Why would I want, in 20 years, to try to guess what a tat used to be :P

:suffer: You're funny.

I just got another one mid-April.  It's a Harry Potter tat; a golden Snitch with the words "Mischief Managed" in Lumos font.  It's on my hip.  I LOVE it!

That would be SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!  Let us know if you get it! :yes:

And here's a picture of my new tat, by the way.  It was taken the day I got it, so it's a bit red around the edges.  :-\  Oh well.  That's what you get for letting a needle jab you a billion miles an hour.

Nice!  But I don't get it... wings on an orange? ???

LOL!  :suffer: No, Yonkey, it's not an orange, it's a Harry Potter tattoo.  You know, Quidditch?  The Golden Snitch?  Here:

http://images.elfwood.com/fanq/k/a/katadele2/u_awardsnitch.jpg

Something like that.  It's a gold ball with wings, and is worth 150 points.  Once the Seeker catches it, it's game over.  :yes:

I got inked again in July, but I never posted a picture.  I got a butterfly "tramp stamp."   :P  I know butterflies are cliche, but if you knew me personally it would totally make sense.  I love 'em! :yes:
