So. Another geek tattoo.
 
Guess what it is.

You can't participate if I already told you.

I would celebrate your awesomeness due to that new awesome tattoo if it were not for the fact that you are hairier than both me and a chimpanzee. Otherwise, pretty cool. Kudos to you.

Mirai Gen 06-09-2007 12:40 AM

Grr, baby, very grr!

Yeah, no guesses?

Axl 06-09-2007 01:40 AM

NESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

IT FEELS GOOD....I hope I didn't mangle the lines too bad. it's been a while. Very nice choice Mirai.

Mannix 06-09-2007 01:56 AM

I'll post my guess in a spoiler so it doesn't ruin anybody else's guesses.

it's one of the backgrounds from the fight screen in Earthbound/Mother 2 that's one of my all time favorite games, fyi.

Mirai Gen 06-09-2007 02:00 AM

Ding ding ding! Mannix got it!

And, by the wya, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO Drunk right now...wow I am so fucked up.

EVILNess 06-09-2007 09:50 PM

Dude, you got Giygas tattooed on your abdomen?

I bow before you!

42PETUNIAS 06-09-2007 10:40 PM

Nice tat, very well done.

adamark 06-09-2007 11:23 PM

You have a very hairy hole.

Mirai Gen 06-10-2007 04:22 AM

Chicks dig it.

Long-Haired Narcissist 06-10-2007 09:39 PM

Nice tattoo. Also, shave your chest, monkey.

Sesshoumaru 06-11-2007 04:26 PM

As someone who didn't know the awesome oldschool Nintendoey goodness of that tat before seeing the pic, I have to say that most people will just think its some emo-goth thing, or possibly black/death metal. I thinks its cool though, which means you're in trouble because I'm not known for either coolness or good judgement.

42PETUNIAS 06-11-2007 04:45 PM

Can you show us what this is a pic of? I've never played the game, so a screenshot or something would be nice.

it's the picture he posted repeated in a grid in the background during some fights instead of terrain, which take place in the first person perspective. also there's usually a warping/waving animation applied to it.

42PETUNIAS 06-11-2007 06:43 PM

Thanks. That tatoo is also pretty close to the real thing. Tip your tatoo artist.

Mirai Gen 06-12-2007 01:59 AM

I did. Thirty bucks. He was very happy.

RaiRai 06-13-2007 04:29 PM

I actually prefer the tattoo to the original, seems cleaner. Nice work. =)

Actually, it's just one fight, and it's not exactly a background there.

Yeah, that tends to happen when updating from SNES images. But the direction of the face part seems to be a lot more organic looking, it's a bit ackward in the original. Also, that tattoo is damn shiny.

I'm pretty sure there's a small one that's in some of the other fights. a red one and a blue one. it's been a long time since i played it though.

Mike McC 06-13-2007 05:43 PM

Nope. It only appears in that fight. There's multiple parts to that fight, but it's only there.

Lost in Time 06-13-2007 10:19 PM

That's neat. I would get one. Before this post, I was mostly against getting a tattoo, the only other one I was considering what the Illuminati symbol on my left wrist. Because it's coo'.

42PETUNIAS 06-13-2007 10:34 PM

That would actually be really cool, if Dan Brown didn't suck.

Mirai Gen 06-14-2007 02:33 AM

Trust me when I say that it's not shiny anymore - wow, I actually had to consciously not type "Shiney" just now - since it's been a while. The shine was due to, well, alot of blood and sweat. Now it's healing up, scabbing and peeling like crazy, hurts like a bitch, cost me money that could go into buying a nice new Wii, but it was so worth it!

Yeah, the guy I paid to do this - Joe, over at the local tattoo shop - is a complete whiz. He was also mercifully quick, only took 45 minutes. Which is good, because it was excruciatingly painful.

Also, while I miss "Panties", I love your new avatar. Absolutely hilariously adorable.

The Wandering God 06-14-2007 11:31 AM

I just showed up to tell Mirai Gen what a filthy, hairy hogmonkey he is and that the tattoo is stupid. And what an attention whore he is.

Except not.

Because he's totally fucking cool for doing what he wants.

Live the dream, live the dream. *raises glass*

TheSpacePope 06-19-2007 01:23 AM

Seein that makes me want to get burned again.
Man..
Sooooo.....Much

Burned V. The cool way to say getting ink done.

Deathosaurus Wrecks 06-19-2007 01:57 AM

/Salute

you've raised the bar for nerds everywhere, sir.

Seil 06-19-2007 02:54 AM

I'm equally astounded that there's such a cool nerd out there, and we let it go that Nintendo has a game where one of the main protagonists is called "Poo."

Well I'm not 100% on it yet, but I'm thinking I'm going to get the Screw Attack emblem somewhere at some point or another, and I know I'm going to get a couple of sprite images sometime.

This is not the last - nor the first - geek tattoo I'm getting. Hell, for a while I was considering this:

on my leg. I have yet to decide if I want it that badly.

Mannix 06-19-2007 05:39 PM

you should get a sprite of black mage on your left shoulder blasting a hadoken all the way across your back towards your right shoulder. it's even better if you have a hairy back, because you could keep your back shaved in a way that would make it look like bm was tearing a path through the jungle of fur.

Preturbed 06-19-2007 05:47 PM

I don't understand why people get tattoos without any real meaning.
