MetalDev	Posted - 2008.07.01 19:44:00 - [1] Im thinkin about getting a tat, and vaugely thought that the Amarr Insignia would make a cool small tat on the upper arm, opinions? Or am I just weird. haha.
Emily Spankratchet Minmatar Pragmatics	Posted - 2008.07.01 20:47:00 - [2] I've seen about three or four on the forums over the past few years, maybe more. So you're not that weird. See, for example, http://www.eve-ink.co.uk/ .
Ren Surkova Down In Flames	Posted - 2008.07.02 00:26:00 - [3] not so much weird as pathetic
Mazzarins Demise Profit Development and Research Association	Posted - 2008.07.02 00:38:00 - [4] Originally by: Ren Surkova not so much weird as pathetic I'd say getting a tattoo of something that holds great importance to you, even if it is just a video game, is better than most of the **** people usually get. /Proud wearer of a gaming tattoo.
Micheal Dietrich Caldari Terradyne Networks	Posted - 2008.07.02 01:37:00 - [5] Depends on what the tat is. The insignia ain't too bad an idea. Now the guy that tattoo'd EVE Online on his arm is another story. Some day I still plan to put a Dwarven rune on my upper left moob. I still want to finish my right shoulder with a cattle skull over a dreamcatcher in the front and a feudal era samurai drawing with a haiku on the back.

Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2008.07.02 01:47:00 - [6] I'd go for some jove scripture, from my understanding it looks much like old hebrew which looks cool despite what it says. Should/would/could have, HAVE you chav! Also Known As
Siberys	Posted - 2008.07.02 02:14:00 - [7] Now you just need to get a house like a shuttle, a car like a frigate, and a girlfriend with as little life as you.

Or am I just weird. haha. You're not alone and there are some cool looking Eve insignia worth putting on your body... i.e., the Guristsa Rabbit seems popular. And then there was the idiot that let his terribly untalented apprentice-tattoo artist inflict a horridly rendered and putridly colored iconic Amarr face on his back (among others). Please, don't be him. His tattoos were terrible. Select your artist carefully.

I think that might have been what Ren was getting at. If you hold a video game to be so important to your life that you have it permanently injected into your skin you might want to go outside. Not meaning to attack anyone personally, but you knew this was the reaction you were going to get from people before you got it
Amastat Caldari Omegatech	Posted - 2008.07.02 07:33:00 - [10] Edited by: Amastat on 02/07/2008 07:33:56 Edited by: Amastat on 02/07/2008 07:33:21 Well - look at it this way people. Not as many people know about EVE as something like WoW - so your less likely of becoming a social outcast and treated like a freak, for life, if you have a Tatto of the Minmatar logo, versus someone who has a Tatto of the logo of Stormwind. Seriously - think about this for a moment, and be humored by how true that is. ____________________ "All warfare is based on deception... we must seem unable...seem inactive...and crush him " - Sun Tzu

MetalDev	Posted - 2008.07.02 07:33:00 - [11] well i know its a bit weird but frankly im shocked at how people can just flat out insult me like it makes them much better...I need to get out more? lol I thought the Amarr insignia woulda been cool because its sorta small, simple, with a good design, and anyone who dosn't know what it is will probablly just think of it as a normal tattoo. Dunno, was just an idea.

Dunno, was just an idea. I'm almost completely confident that wearing a EVE-themed Tattoo will result in lest emotional scars and beatings than a Tattoo based on any other MMO - at least the more well known ones like WoW or EQ. But I agree - the Amarr logo is pretty cool, or the Khanid is also pretty awesome. The Minmatar hands-down probably have some of the most Tattoo-freindly logos out there. ____________________ "All warfare is based on deception... we must seem unable...seem inactive...and crush him " - Sun Tzu
Gojyu Ever Flow	Posted - 2008.07.02 07:48:00 - [13] Originally by: MetalDev well i know its a bit weird but frankly im shocked at how people can just flat out insult me like it makes them much better...I need to get out more? lol I thought the Amarr insignia woulda been cool because its sorta small, simple, with a good design, and anyone who dosn't know what it is will probablly just think of it as a normal tattoo. Dunno, was just an idea. Sure, if it's just a pretty symbol, go for it. Though you'd have to figure out what to tell anyone if they ask what it is. If you tell them the truth you risk looking pretty sad, if you lie and just say "it isn't anything, it's meaningless" you risk getting branded as one of those guys that get tattoos just to look cool. My "go outside" comment was directed to those who would get an eve tattoo because of how important eve is to their life, I still think getting a meaningless tattoo is kinda pointless and hollow, but hey, knock yourself out
MetalDev	Posted - 2008.07.02 08:05:00 - [14] well the Amarr insignia looks pretty much like a tribal one, and it'd be going on the upper arm above the tricep, so it'd cover up pretty easily. its just an idea, no need to go slating everyone for thinking

Not meaning to attack anyone personally, but you knew this was the reaction you were going to get from people before you got it It's funny how people are allowed to be really into a music band, a political party, a film or a sports team but when a guy is into computer games all the moronic turds out there point and laugh. Now I'm going to point and laugh at you for being a moronic turd. You didn't ask me to, but then again the OP didn't start this thread so that idiots like you could try and show him how much more 'cooler' you are than him.

Rhatar Khurin Minmatar The PeacekeeperZ Phobos Alliance	Posted - 2008.07.02 14:16:00 - [17] Hehe, i have met loads of peeps that i used to play SWG with that have gotten the imperial/rebel symbol tattod on their arm/shoulder. For example Nothing wrong with it at all. I personally would quite like the Minmatar emblem on my shoulder.
Daelorn Perkone	Posted - 2008.07.02 14:38:00 - [18] I dont see how you can call a gaming tattoo pathetic. Tribal ** is pathetic and theres some other really really stupid ** you can get tattooed on yourself.
Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2008.07.02 14:49:00 - [19] The word pathetic has been warped through time and in this day in age no-one says that for someone who deserves pity, only scorn. pathetic 1598, "affecting the emotions, exciting the passions," from M.Fr. pathTtique "moving, stirring, affecting" (16c.), from L.L. patheticus, from Gk. pathetikos "sensitive, capable of emotion," from pathetos "liable to suffer," verbal adj. of pathein "to suffer" (see pathos). Meaning "arousing pity, pitiful" is first recorded 1737. Colloquial sense of "so miserable as to be ridiculous" is attested from 1937. Pathetic fallacy (1856, first used by Ruskin) is the attribution of human qualities to inanimate objects. I'd rather be pathetic than the alternative. Should/would/could have, HAVE you chav!

Ren Surkova Down In Flames	Posted - 2008.07.02 16:14:00 - [20] you're right, tribal tattoos are lame, and the only legitimate reason to get a band tattoo is if you were in the band. But I seriously can't imagine the embarassment of explaining away a videogame tattoo to someone. There's a reason gaming is seen as anti-social and immature. The eve cluster will shut off for good one day and whenever anyone asks you about the tattoo you'll be standing there, looking stupid, saying "uh... well a couple of years ago there was this mmo right... you know what an mmo is dontcha? anyway I was kind of into it so..."

Oh please. If people are self-conscious of the tattoo they bought they shouldn't have gotten the tattoo in the first place. Plenty of people have asked about my tat and when I explained where it came from and the decision making process behind it, I never received a single stare. If you put a lot of thought as to why you want it and most important how it will look, people won't say "What a dumb idea for a tat," they'll say, "Wow that tat looks really cool!" Some thought and preparation goes a long way. But anyone calling anyone else pathetic for wanting to get a gaming tattoo is a tool and needs to worry about themselves. There I said it.

There I said it. well you and I must run in different circles, because if I had a videogame tattoo I can say with complete certainty that my friends/colleagues would laugh in my face. One mitigating factor about eve tattoos that people have already mentioned is that eve is a niche game and a lot of the emblems don't scream 'mmo virgin'. I once saw a guy with this horrible topless night elf riding a tiger with a gear stick in its back, and the thing looked airbrushed. So yeah, it could be a hell of a lot worse than a guristas insignia or whatever, I'll admit that at least

So yeah, it could be a hell of a lot worse than a guristas insignia or whatever, I'll admit that at least Again, it all depends on how you design it. Granted, I'd probably laugh my ass off if I saw that WoW tattoo you described. I'd say the only strategy of a gaming tattoo is something people wouldn't be able to recognize like a logo or a specific picture. And it really depends on the circles you run in, it really does. It's safe to assume there's a better chance of your co-workers laughing at you then say a group of gaming buddies. While I'll admit I'm sure some have commented on my tattoo behind my back it doesn't really matter to me. I didn't get the tattoo to show it off to other people, half the time I forget I have it. I got a gaming tattoo not because i thought it was cool, well that is only a minor reason, it was because I played that game for eight years of my life. It got me through the dire straights of high school, college and everything in between. Years down the road when I go senile and forget some of the better times of my life, I can look at my arm and be reminded of it immediately.
MetalDev	Posted - 2008.07.02 17:49:00 - [24] well here's one thing. at the end of the day you've got a tattoo and the person chuckling at you dosn't. so who has the bigger balls?

Don't be miffed now - just jerking your all's chain But yea - I have a working mouth and I've always had the ability to say what I want, and not be insecure enough to hold my tounge out of fear of a response. I'm old enough to know that someone always disagrees, and often time their dumb as **** and don't know what they are talking about - so there's no point in caring about what they think about my opinions or what they say; censorship is a commodity I am very low on. For this reason - I don't wear tattoos, due to there being no point to them (for me), nor do I have any background or heritage that would require me to, that I'm aware of. I do like Tattoos though - the designs at least. You can't help but admit that a few of them are indeed very badass - however, I still wouldn't want/wear them - because I would only be getting them because I think they look cool, and it would appear as if I'm attempting to improve my image. I don't need to improve my image, and it would give people the wrong impression about me. Whoever may tease you about a tattoo is probably just doing it to tease - or they just don't understand it; not because they don't have balls. Personally, with the reputation that tattoos have, I would think someone who is indeed "without balls", wouldn't have the balls in the first place to even chuckle about the tattoos without having their life flashing before their eyes. ____________________ "All warfare is based on deception... we must seem unable...seem inactive...and crush him " - Sun Tzu
Micheal Dietrich Caldari Terradyne Networks	Posted - 2008.07.02 20:05:00 - [29] Some of you are really self conscious. "OMG I wonder what people will think of me and this tattoo!?" Don't know about the rest of you but I left the high school mentality at high school twelve years ago. Somebody has a issue with me then tough. If they wanna make fun of me they can do it to my face.
