I'll have my hair colored green so it looks like he's flying over grass LOL

If this was closer to your left armpit, we could call him Air Stonk.

NOTE: No, it isn't make any sense.

I have a few TG-16 tattoos on my scrotum. I'll take some pictures later, after I shave.

Is it a tattoo of the girl from Chew Man Fu pushing your balls around ?

Ha! I wish. I have a portrait of the hero from Blodia, after it has fallen off the track...'tis a somber mood.

RoyVegas · 08/28/2013, 02:54 PM

Cool tat but I really don't think you're hardcore enough until you legally change your name to Johnny Turbo.

turbokon · 08/28/2013, 03:33 PM

That's hardcore to me:)

_Paul · 08/28/2013, 04:37 PM

Now get Adon and Samson on your legs.

CrackTiger · 08/28/2013, 04:46 PM

The artwork and coloring is very nice. Did you design it yourself?

TheClash603 · 08/28/2013, 10:02 PM

The world needs more Splash Lake tattoos.

MotherGunner · 08/28/2013, 11:26 PM

One of these days, i will get a Devil Foot Tattoo

I did not. I used a pixelised image found on web and tattoo artist smoothed it out.

I know—you would opt for "Nurse Nancy" instead. No, I have no idea what the character's original Hapanese name is.

I don't think that there was ever an official dvd release of the early Wataru series, but you can get "asian" sets on eBay pretty cheap. I haven't watched much yet, but judging from the scene where Wataru meets the weapon shop guy, the show is right up your alley.

I watched a few episodes (the first 2.5-3.5 episodes) a few years ago. IIRC, it seemed aimed at a younger demographic than I was hoping it was for.

IIRC, the animation quality wasn't too bad?

Bernie · 08/29/2013, 06:02 PM

If I actually had more room, I would look into a game related tattoo, but its something I would want seen, and my canvas is pretty much occupied.

The only tattoo I have actually considered getting! So many layers of brilliant irony, it would truly show the full depth of my intellect to those select few individuals upon whom I would bestow the honor of viewing it.

However, this talk of scrotal tattoos has given me some ideas...

It needs to be the frame when he lands on his head.

I've been thinking about getting a half sleeve on my right arm (gotta have a way to cover it when needed, so no full sleeves for me) that is all gaming related. I'd like to have a mish mash of Nintendo, Sega, Arcade and TG16 stuff in there from the golden era of gaming, but TG16 stuff will probably outweigh most everything else.

Just gotta find a good artist in the Seattle area that can do the work. I'm by no means and artist, so I'll have to explain the concept and have someone not only do the tat, but design the layout and do the artwork too.

Sounds pretty awesome. It's going to be several sittings with many hours, but awesome no less.

To help the artist out, you could search and find the characters/images you want, print them out and do a collage. Scissors and a stick of glue would be all you need. That will help them out big time and maybe bring down the cost of your piece.

May I suggest getting a full sleeve comprised entirely of heart containers from Bonk's Adventure?

...and so on.

I will be doing this, but 1.5 hearts will be RED. This symbolizes the fact that I have potential for infinite life (I am immortal, essentially), but that due to kids/bills/life/fatigue/no-free-time I am only at 1.5 hearts.

You think I am joking, but I am not.

Yeah the collage idea would probably be great, and then the artist could potentially rearrange stuff as it makes sense.

The biggest downside is the time and money investment (I already have quite a few tattoos and my left arms is not sleeved, but most of the upper half is already taken up by a tattoo). Also making sure I capture the idea that gaming is a huge part of my life and my favorite era honestly is 16bit, all while having it mesh into a coherent design that "flows" well.

Combining elements of Nintendo characters, Sega, Arcade and TG16 could be hard to do in a cohesive manner. I'd also like to get some hardware pics in there too (maybe a turbo pad or turbo stick).

It's all in my head, but I've never been good at getting that kind of stuff onto paper.

Nando · 10/11/2013, 03:21 PM

Do it as a back piece!!!!

Here's something that might help you out layout wise. Paul Robertson is pretty bad ass

Yeah something similar with different systems and characters mashed up is likely what I'd be going for.

Nando · 10/15/2013, 11:30 AM

Can't wait to see what you and your artist come up with.
