Mirai's Yearly Gaming Tattoo #3.
 

So, more recently I was kicking around a design for my next geeky tattoo. Finally settled on one, and just got back from the tattoo artist today.

I love how it came out. Thought I would share.

Okay that's cool and all but when are you going to make that video with the Giygas tattoo?

Seriously, congratulations. I knew you've been wanting to get this for a long time. How big is the list now?

It still creeps me seeing you with short hair though.

That could only possibly be better in colour. Outstanding.

You are the coolest person ever.

Just because fucking DEVIL MAY CRY.

I was kicking around having it full-detail with fleshtones and detailed faces and everything, but then my artist Joe Drache told me that it'd have to be at least forearm-length in order to get even the tiniest needle to draw her face, and even then, the detail would be gone in a decade or two.

I said eh, to hell with it, I'm going with the silhouette logos.
I figure if I get enough gaming/nerd related tattoos I'll eventually get this from everyone.

I got that reaction with my Giygas tattoo, which I happen to like the most out of them all so far.

You need a Chrono Trigger tattoo next dude.

Strill, it looks good. I've toyed of getting the Hyrule Crest etehced across my shoulder blades.

so I did this a few years ago, on the inside of my forearm...
5 points to whomever guesses the basis of the design

Squall's Griever?


You should have at least chosen something obscure.

I was going to guess the MGM Lion... Total sarcasm

I kinda dislike the lack of symmetrical proportion. What I mean, is that for me, the image on the right clashes a bit with one on the left. The one on the left seems too small, and just doesn't balance the sword wielder (Dante?). I can't help but think it might have been better if the smaller girl on the left was taken away.

Then again, it might work better if you changed the girl into a monster that Dante has just sliced into & is exploding into a explody mess.

But hey, I dislike tattoos in general, so what do I know?
