Well folks as I annouced back in March I was going through the process of getting an EVE-Inspired tattoo based upon the Racial Wallpapers. Well after much discussion back and forth with my tattooist I finally went under the needle this afternoon GMT.
Needless to say the tattoo is Nowhere Near Complete and the image of the japanese symbol is being covered by an elaborate design which will eventually cover the whole of my back.
But anyways go, read and absorb the pain I've just gone through by reading the blog Here. I must admit it would have been nice to have some colour in the peice but unfortunatly I couldn't cope with more pain after 2.5 hours of continuous needles.
Anyways the next session isn't until 22nd June so I have time to recover. I will also update the pictures with something a little more Stable and viewable when I get a chance later tonight. 
Oh and please as I requested before - please keep flames TO YOURSELF and dont post. I did say this last time in the announcement but some of the resident forum warriors felt they needed to throw names around.

Oh, stop whining about pain, it doesn't feel that much.
Besides, I think the healing is worse, when it itches... 
Nice choice though.

Tattoos are something that you should take time to think what you want before going... the OP has, he wants it so he got it. Even if Eve goes under it will remind him of good times he had on the game. when hes old everytime he see's it, it will bring back nice memorys. I have the NERV logo on my right arm from Neon Genesis Evangelion and every time i see it, i have happy memorys from the time i got it, to dead family members that went with me for for it, to ex girlfriends.. i've never had a bad memory.. i don't think i ever will, and i'm sure the OP won't.

Dude, that rocks! I look forward to seeing the finished item.
On a side note, as a tattoo virgin I'm thinking of having a small one done of the Amarr symbol - wonder if I will squeal like a little girl?

Not planning on getting a tattoo at all, but if I'd want an EVE one I think a small Guristas bunny logo hidden somewhere would make a great tattoo.
Good luck with it, and I'd love to see the final result :)

Those that think it's pathetic, or that he's a nerd.. consider the fact it's still art, and a nice image at that.
Even long after eve is gone, it'll still be there, and a nice pic.
people get tatts of mickey mouse, looney toons, and other things... and that's not even art. Hell, on Miami Ink, someone had an M.C. Escher tattooed on his back.
it's up to the person what they like, and what it means to them... what it means to someone else is of no matter.

Why?
I have Bob Marley tattood from my knee to my foot...
Yet I've been a skin for 10years...
My tattoos are there for a reason, they mean something to me, they define parts of my life...
And even if I never listen to a marley record again, there isnt any way im ever going to regret any of the hours worth of art work my body has.
Im sure it wasnt a decision he took lightly.
Of course people whine, its cause your sig sucks

I wonder what the most important reason for chosing that particular image is:
is it because it comes from EVE?
or is it because you just like it aesthetically and it doesn't matter that much that it comes from EVE?

Nah, the pain starts when his mates starts giving him pats on the back.
Oh yeah the pats on the back are fun, i remember that one when i had some done.

It's all about the art most definatly. I'd come to a point in my life where I wanted to express the things I enjoy in some way, and the tattoo is a good way of doing that.
I love EVE I really do it's an inspiration to things I write and read, and as a game it's excellent. But the artwork and backstory are what it's all about to me. I've always been into Sci-fi, Cyberpunk, Real Science and Astronomy and the backstory and race artwork for EVE are the best I've seen around. Of course as my Blog states by the time I went under the needle yesterday I'd thought about this for 8 months. I'd researched a tattooist that was right for me that had done similar things, and carefully thought about what i wanted.
I'd like to thank everyone who has commented here, both in a suportive way and the 'OMG you are nuts' way. After that first session the amount of sessions I will be going through for this has risen from an estimate of 5 to 8, so theres a lot more to do. So keep posted. Although my next session is not until 22nd June, so abit of time to wait
