Got my PP tattoos, still a bit sore :(

[Griffin745]

Got my second PP tattoo done, so posting the pic online for you all to have a gander at. Enjoy.

Must admit, the circle one has come out much better.

[loftybloke]

Looking good dude, I do like the circle one. the shield looks a bit faded? or is that part of the healing process?

[Griffin745]

Ink didn't take too well, need to get it sorted out. Gonna wait for the circle one to heal up and then see how much it needs darkening off.

[eldpollard]

Okay that's two down only eight more to go.
Oh also it looks they gave you a bit of 'arm.

[loftybloke]

Leave him alone, they're clearly 'armless

[eldpollard]

I suppose they do show which ARMies he likes.

[loftybloke]

Yeah but he looks to be BI(ce)polar with his choice

[ButcherOfKhardov]

Nice inks,

the Circle insignia looks very cool.

[Ross]

I dont see the proper legal trademark on them.

[loftybloke]

If you got close enough to see the TM, there wouldn't be the trademarks that were violated...

Tattoos are simply for some people and others don't like them at all. I have a bunch and I LOVE tattoos; these ones are great!

No need to crap on someone's parade though. I always feel like someone has to be against tattoos when these threads pop up. Maybe I just received the wrong message from that video...too tired.

[wadders]

You got close up pics?

[DemonCalibre]

It happens every thread BilesyBelcher.

There are a bunch of people on the forums that think getting a tattoo of a game on yourself is "Totally Stupid", these people think of Tattoos as very Serious Business, because you own them your whole life. Which is a totally legitimate and valid position to have.(and I myself have had in the past), but not all of the people with this attitude track that not everyone is like them, and view the activity as foolish, so they hate on it. The trick is there are some people where Tattoos aren't as serious a business, and don't mind getting a game's insignia tattooed on themselves.

Personally I always kind of like Warmachine Tattoos, I am not a Tattoo guy and most likely wouldn't get one myself, but I totally can understand marking yourself with a thing you spend 100s of hours on. I mean if I got a big Anvil of Khador on my back my wife wouldn't mind. I have spent over 1000 hours painting/assembling/converting my 300+ points of Khador, and i have spent most likely the same amount of time playing them, it has been a huge part of my life for the last 6 years, it would always been a symbol of how I chose to spend that time.

Who is to say the OP doesn't have the same mindset.

[wadders]

I am a huge fan of tattoo's - Personally i think the subject matter is unimportant as long as you don't mind living with it for life (coming from a man with frozen toilet paper on my butt and sneaker tattoo's on my hands)

It actually irritates me more when people insult other peoples decisions to modify their bodies as they please.

[Griffin745]

Well, I watched the video...and I must say. I think I need to get a madonna tattoo next.

On another note, the symbols look good without the connection to the game, a lot of people have said they look good without even knowing what Warmachine is.

As DemonCalibre said, I've spent hundreds of hours on my Warmahordes, I wanted a tattoo that somewhat shows that I'm in this for the long haul. (honestly, I tried to stop buying as much at one point and found it easier to just give up smoking instead o_O)

No close up pics I'm afraid. and Whenever I plug my camera into my laptop it switches itself off...no idea why.

[PG_Keravin]

If only you played real factions

[Robert Shepherd]

Not a tattoo man myself, but I know good ink when I see it. Nice.

[loftybloke]

Says the man who plays them all :P

[WintersChill]

Well said, sir. Well said.

I have 2 Cygnar tats myself, and I plan to get at least one more (so I am partial to the one on your left arm).

[powerclaw]

The fact that these symbols look good on their own is a selling point for me. I don't know if I would get a Minion one but all the major factions have some very unique and interesting symbols. Great tatoos.

[thevampiredio]

very nice. but kinda weird place to have them. dont u think on the side of the biceps is better?

[Griffin745]

If only you played real factions

Awww, whats the matter. You feeling sad that I keep coming over and beating you all?

very nice. but kinda weird place to have them. dont u think on the side of the biceps is better?

Aye, the guy doing it said he'd never done one there before. I like the front of the bicep, personal preference really though. I think on the sides is a bit too...done before. If you know what I mean.

[Cleveland]

not much into tats on myself personally, but I do recognize when one is done well. I really like how that Circle symbol came out.

[Khadorian83]

Effin' sweet man . I have numerous ink's myself, enough that you'd need an extra set of hands to count with. I've been itching to get a Warmachine/Hordes ink as well, but I like how they came out. Scabbin' seemed to heal over pretty good too. Got any close ups?

[PG_Pszito]

word. gamer pride represent!

[Capsfan34]

I have many tat's...my most famous one can be seen in NQ #27 as I have said many times I'm sure


thinking next one will be either a 'Jack or the Merc symbol on the back of my calf

[Kuwanger23]

Well in note to that video, tattoos can be removed nowadays.

On a side note I have a friend that has several gaming tattoos that look amazing. He has some servo skulls and a dark eldar character. So even to the majority that don't play the game they still look awesome. I think the faction symbols are pretty cool. Just stay loyal to that faction lol. Also I am not a tattoo guy but if I ever got one it would be Bowser from Mario breathing his name in fire and his hair would be fire as well. Total geek! Maybe the Cryx symbol too! lol.

In closing, Awesome tattoo!

[cherylfoster]

Your tattoos are awesome specially the Circle one. I too like tattoos very I have tattoo on my arm and I am planning to have another one also. Please post some more pics of nice tattoos if you have.

[SerenityEryx]

I love them. I'm thinking about getting a Cryx based one.

[CT GAMER]

It actually irritates me more when people insult other peoples decisions to modify their bodies as they please.

Walking down the street I agree with you. I don't think people have any buisness offering unsolicited advice or opinion such as : "Hey you tattoos are bad" or " I hate your tattoos", etc.

However when someone makes a thread soliciting comment about such, then they have to expect that not all comment/fedback will be of the fanboy/positive variety, and realize that they invited comment.

[Griffin745]

Well, I made the thread expecting some to say they didn't like them. I mean everyone has various taste and all that. I'm not fussed if people say they're a just terrible, their opinion and all that right.

Plus as CT GAMER has just said, I made the thread, I've got to have expected that some would be negative. This is the internet after all.

[SerenityEryx]

I agree. My gemeral rule is, if you don't want to hear bad things, don't put it on the internet.

[Direlord]

Pretty cool. i always though the circle one would make a good tattoo

[Not Dice]

No close up pics I'm afraid. and Whenever I plug my camera into my laptop it switches itself off...no idea why.

It's switching itself into storage media mode, and acting as an external drive. Both the camera and storage mode can't be active at the same time, since it would then be possible for both the camera and the computer to access the camera's file storage at the same time and corrupt data.

If you have a digital camera that's supposed to function as a webcam, you'll have to consult your manual to see how to manage that.

[Horatio]

Hi Griffin,
Nice tattoos. You have to wear half sleeves to show you tattoos to all
Hey Griffin I heard about the pain and skin allergies of those who have tattoos on their body. Is it true or just rumor?

[dennyh]

nice tat's, I was thinking about getting the gilted menofix with the exemplar quote "Fidelitas et Ira" (from the forces book pg.29)

[thevampiredio]

i say! the circle tat looks great.
a flying goose... not so manly...

[khylis]

He gets one focus for each of his arms =P

[unbanned]
