Can we have a good/ bad tattoo thread?

And tatted cosplayers do you hide or show off your ink? Are there any fandom tattoos you regret?

If I had the money for two color sleeves (see: never) I've thought a leaf/foliage pattern along both arms sort of like the skin pattern on Sylvari in GW2 might be cool, especially if it used a more autumn color set of orange to red (my hair's auburn, so if the colors could match that'd be sweet).

I've considered getting a tattoo but if I do it I want it to be in the ink you can only see under certain light. I was thinking a few stars across my back or something (though that sounds very cliche I'm sure)

However after I looked it up and heard enough stories about the inky still being experimental and how quiet a few people find their bodies reject it and it leads to not always good things... I'll hold off on it till the process of UV tattoos gets a bit more solid.

Yeah, though I've heard newer UV inks don't get rejected near as much as older ones.
Though the 3-month rule still applies, as far as I know. I'd probably get it late autumn / early winter since you're going to be covered up anyway.

I wonder if you'd have to cover it up for 3 months every time you get it touched up? Probably. Haven't thought of that one before.

Most of the stuff I cosplay (Other than my shitlevel Finn cosplay) is stuff that requires me to cover up my tattoos, and they're all in easily covered up areas. I like good tattoos on people, I think they accent the body nicely and yada yada yada display of self expression blah blah blah lookit the commitment.

Swimming pools, some onsen, and some gyms. Tattoos are associated with the yakuza in Japan so in order to keep yakuza out of their facilities, they ban tattoos. But it really depends, when I lived in Beppu, none of the Onsen bothered banning tattoos, but in Tokyo the two big onsen places are explicitly clear about tattoos. We saw two other foreigners get kicked out for having tattoos (they only covered with bandages, we used make up and patches).

It's not really that big of a deal. My husband has a tebori tattoo and the only place he gets strange looks is in the country. You can even go to onsen, just get a private bath.

Most that I ask say its about the nostalgia for them.

While that is also true for me, my biggest draws to the series are the actual overarching story and the music.

The legend in itself is very interesting to me. There's a sense of wonder, and of course magic to it. Its like..its like playing through a fairy tale. You already know whats going to happen. Good will triumph over Evil etc etc, but its the getting-there and the interactions in between with the characters that pushes you into the world more. And its not just one tale, or one short story. It's an epic. An ever sprawling, ever expanding epic.

Someone had once said that you should look at each Zelda game as having a basic story, but a different narrator. The games have you experience the stories in different contexts and with different characters.

And then there's the music. Its very obvious that the music of the series is beloved amongst gamers. How else would they do a bicontinental symphony tour? I dont feel emotions very strongly. There are very few things that can really pull at my heart and make me *feel*. The series music is definitely one of them. To feel like I can take on the world I'll listen to the theme. If I need to cry, the Ballad of the Wind Fish. If I want to laugh dance and generally be merry, well there's lots for that. Hyrule Castle Town, Lost Woods, Dragon Roost Island. And then if I want something a little more twisted? There's the entire Majora's Mask soundtrack.

I dont even feel like I've properly expressed exactly why I love the series. I cant put it into words.

Sorry for the rant, sheesh.

I also went with my friends to a public bath house near where she lived (so it wasn't just other Americans in the bath, just me and a bunch of Japanese women) and no one commented or asked me to leave.

how often do you really think you'll be exposed to blacklight? hell, how often do you WANT to expose yourself to it? If it reacts the same as regular tats it will basically fade the more you expose it, and it will eventually bleed regardless. to top of off, you can bet there's a ton of unfun reactions and medical conditions related to the ink itself.

I think the idea is that Homestuck is a bandwagon. Getting a tattoo of something you've only liked for a year or two is risky. Because most people grow out of things quickly, and one day you might look at your huge-ass MSPaint-inspired tattoo and regret it. It might look very similar to those ugly yaoi-esque Naruto tattoos.

You run this risk with all fandom art, but things like LoZ at least have enough lonegevity that you could have been playing the games for a decade or two, and therefore know that this phase is going to involve a large portion of your life.

a lot of people probably thought the same thing about zelda years ago, so why not homestuck. there are people who band wagon it and there are also people out there who are always going to love homestuck and admire hussie's storytelling. theres always the risk of people regretting whatever they get inked because they grew out of it but that happens for every tattoo, not just fandom related ones. why bother singling out a certain series for not being "good enough" to get ink of when literally any tattoo regardless of theme can be regretted by the person who received it. plus I'm sure if someone's dumb enough to get a pixellated hella jeff face tattoed on their arm just to imitate andrew hussie, they're probably not ever going to be able to look at that and have a better idea. and if thats good with them and makes them happy, I don't see what the issue is.

That's kind of it. Years ago, when Zelda was new, yeah, people would think, "Wow, you're already getting a tattoo of this?" By now, it's established enough that people may have spent the majority of, if not their entire, lives playing the series. No one is saying Homestuck isn't "good enough' to have a tattoo of, just that, as far as series go, it's kind of too soon to determine if you want it on your body for the rest of your life, if you're not completely, 100% certain that it's something you'll enjoy for the rest of your life, even once the series is over, and the popularity has waned. If you're the type of person that just hops from popular fandom to popular fandom, then you may want to sit down and reassess what you're about to get inked onto your body.

I hope I'm making sense.

Speaking as a Homestuck, I understand where the anons are coming from. Homestuck is a big fandom for me, and I wouldn't mind a spirograph like the SBurb loading symbol one day. But I'm giving it a couple of years first to see if I still consider Homestuck to have had any worthwhile impact on my life. Because there are multiple things and fandoms that had positive impacts but before I fell out of it naturally, something has come along and completely ruined it all for me. I wouldn't want tattoos of them now.

Same. Part of me would really love the Light sign tattooed on me since it's my aspect, and relatively innocuous. It's just a sun. Unfortunately my skin is batshit (something about I'd need to have a skin graft to do it?) so I make do with Henna.

One of my professors in school had a great rule for tattoos: wait until you're 21, and have wanted the same tattoo in the same place for five years. If you still want it after five years, you'll probably still like it down the line, even if you'd fallen out of the fandom/enjoyment of whatever it is you got the tattoo of, it'll remind you of good memories made during that time. Like friends made, good experience, etc. If in five years I still look on Homestuck fondly, if only for good memories, I'll get it done.

That said, one I HAVE wanted for that long is Sailor Moon's locket. It's pretty common/hipster now, but Sailor Moon HAS had an incredible impact on me, and especially in my childhood years. Any tattoo's gonna be embarrassing and weird on an old lady, but hopefully I'd still look on it and smile.

Artists charge hourly, generally around $100 hr give or take, this probably took 2 hours max(It's not that big, and there aren't that many different colours)

this kind of thing makes me want to punch people like this. It's one thing to get something you'll hate in a few years that at least looks decent. It's another to get something really stupid and inappropriate on such a noticeable place. One can only take so much retard. This is a step down from being as bad as ejaculating Kakashi.

Anyone have those pictures of that guy who actually got all of Kamina's tattoos?

OP for that tattoo and I would like the brush style to be similar too the original artwork as well. Hopefully I can get it touched up to look better over the next few months.

Funny, I'm worried about the same thing. Ultimately, I'm getting the tattoo no matter what, but I wonder if I should ask Rouge Aerie for permission. I want to get a tattoo from one of her fabrics.

That's pretty damn sick. I'd totally one like that. Never been much for tattoos, much less generic "lolJapanese" ones.

I just rewatched Iron Giant last Friday. I love whoever did this.
