My latest tattoo

CrackTiger · 09/08/2007, 11:25 PM

I just got it tonight, so its still swollen and a little bloody in these pics. The photos I take tomorrow after showering should be better.

Turbo D · 09/08/2007, 11:27 PM

Ditto! That shit is slick! I especially love the controller cord and the pad itself!

Tatsujin · 09/09/2007, 01:18 AM

a cool tattoo indeed, but are you sure about what you've done?

Turbo D · 09/09/2007, 01:54 AM

is that his forearm of his calf?

ccovell · 09/09/2007, 01:57 AM

It's his penis, of course! Real PCE players have cocks of steel!

What an awesome tattoo! Too bad it takes some explaining for most people.

Joe Redifer · 09/09/2007, 03:08 AM

I think it's funny that a ton of people (usually the younger ones) will just wander into a tattoo parlor with only a vague idea of what they want, choose something out of a book, get a tat of it and think it's cool. But Black Tiger gets extremely unique tats. He also has Air Zonk somewhere. I can pretty much guarantee that nobody else in the entire world will have the same tats. I personally don't have any tattoos and would never get any, but hell, if you're gonna get 'em they might as well be awesome ones like BTs! He even has Street Fighter 2 ready to go!

WoodyXP · 09/09/2007, 05:06 AM

That's awesome. A great job was done on the cord.. it looks like it's popping out of your leg.

Roflrofl, that would be cool

NecroPhile · 09/10/2007, 12:20 PM

Hahahahaha! That's f'n crazy cool shit there Black Tiger, but now you'll have to keep shaving your arm or else the PCE will turn Wookie. Did your needler look at you like you were nuts and keep asking 'are you sure'?

That's the beauty of it.

What an AWESOME tattoo!!!

Absolutely amazing!!!

CrackTiger · 09/12/2007, 10:00 PM

The tattoo is on my calf, its almost 7 inches wide. That was already pushing it size-wise to get that kind of detail in it and I don't have enough room left on my arms.

I don't have an Air Zonk tattoo, a friend of mine does. I only have three PCE related tattoos: the PC Engine, Bonk and the pentagram from Dracula X. He has Bomberman, Bonk, Lords of Thunder, Hudson Soft logo, Zonk as well as a bunch of other game related tattoos like Sonic, Mario, Neo Geo logo, Quake II logo, the Night Warriors sisters, Dragon Ball Z. I've a page with pics of both our Turbo tattoos almost finished for my site.

Even if I get something with someone else's artwork/image, I design the 'flash' myself and break it down for the tattooist so its as close as possible to what I want. This one was a real pain in the ass to put together. I probably took over a hundred photos trying to capture the perfect angle for the console and the pad.

I have very light hair and am very un-gorilla, so I won't have to keep shaving my leg after the hair grows back. The tattoos on my arms and back are perfectly visible.

The next day photos didn't turn out much better, since it they were taken in the evening, but here they are if anyone's interested-

Turbo D · 09/13/2007, 12:23 AM

that tattoo is just awesome

Ceti Alpha · 09/13/2007, 02:17 AM

Yeah, I just can't get over how frakin' awesome that is.

elnino · 09/13/2007, 05:31 AM

Nice tattoo!!

Alt-Nintega · 09/13/2007, 01:09 PM

I wouldn't walk around my neighborhood with a tattoo like that. Where I live that is chick repelent and street thug bait. You got balls made out of steel man.

esteban · 09/13/2007, 06:01 PM

CrackTiger, I can't believe you used SFII' instead of Blodia as the HuCard in your tattoo!

Than again, I'm glad that I am probably the only one in the world who has a Blodia HuCard tattoo.

nat · 09/13/2007, 07:28 PM

I want to get a huge tattoo that takes up my entire back of the guy from the Diablo cover with the giant ball chasing him.

His facial expression is just priceless.

I have other tattoos that would counter balance it for both issues, but I'm not into those kind of chicks anyway.

Turbo D · 09/13/2007, 08:34 PM

I'm just waiting for that page on your site

Turbo D · 09/13/2007, 09:16 PM

wow, thats a bad-ass airzonk tat. I wouldn't mind having airzonk tatted on my arm

Joe Redifer · 09/14/2007, 01:38 AM

Although I think those tattoos are awesome, I'm glad they're on you and your friend rather than on me! The same goes with any tattoo, actually.

I'm the same way with piercing, I'll never get anything done, not even an ear.

nat · 09/14/2007, 06:41 PM

I've got an ear, but that's it.

I may go for tats someday but I don't want to get one just for the sake of getting one.

Tats on chicks REALLY turn me off, however.

Joe Redifer · 09/14/2007, 08:12 PM

Same here. There is just something that makes a chick with tattoos seem a bit too "manly" for me.

Turbo D · 09/14/2007, 08:16 PM

Ya, I too hate tatted up chicks. Kinda grosses me out. They can never be fully naked when they have tattoos

Keranu · 09/15/2007, 01:50 AM

I got my left ear pierced a few years ago, but I don't wear earrings or anything anymore.

Tatsujin · 09/16/2007, 08:44 AM

i got an ear pierce (small golden swiss cow) when i was 5 years old or so. then with about 7 i lost the pierce and never put an other in since.

elnino · 09/17/2007, 06:43 AM

I have pierced both of my ears, like a real metal head!

Tatsujin · 09/17/2007, 08:54 AM

but you never looked like one of those metal head bangers! sir elnicholson!

elnino · 09/17/2007, 11:31 AM

Joe Redifer · 09/17/2007, 05:40 PM

I heard a rumor that if you're a guy and you have your right ear pierced that means you are a gay homosexual. That was the talk of the playground, anyway.

Keranu · 09/17/2007, 05:56 PM

I heard about that when I was in 2nd grade too.

Ceti Alpha · 09/17/2007, 06:00 PM

Yeah. When I was in Junior High I pierced my left ear. The right ear was considered a homosexual thing.

elnino · 09/18/2007, 02:57 AM

The rules are quite simple:

Left ear pierced: ordinary, probably living a very boring life
Right ear pierced: homosexual (check the blue Bomberman on the left for better understanding)
Both ears pierced: very manly rebelious uber rebel, no one can stop this guy!

NecroPhile · 09/18/2007, 09:46 AM

Ohhhhh, so that's how these senators can suck all sorts of dick and yet not be gay - no piercing of the right ear. The gay button must be in the right ear, but wouldn't that mean that having both ears pierced makes one a switch hitter?

P.S. - Not that there's anything wrong with it.

Ceti Alpha · 09/18/2007, 10:46 AM

QuoteRight ear pierced: homosexual (check the blue Bomberman on the left for better understanding)

LMAO! That is hilarious. He really is throwing like a girl. But man, what was the marketing team at NEC here in North America thinking redesigning the box art?!! I think the Bomberman cover is the prime example. A bunch of weirdos in strange suits throwing bombs like girls?! Ack! Very strange. At least they got it right with the later versions.

CrackTiger · 09/18/2007, 08:35 PM

Whats funny about that Bomberman cover art is that it looks like they're just walking through a building trying to totally demolish it before moving on to another building.

Keranu · 09/19/2007, 01:11 AM

I think someone brought up that sissy blue Bomberman around here before, that's hilarious.

I still think the cover of bomberman is just bunch of firefighters.

That would explain the tight suits and there fetish for throwing bombs !

CrackTiger · 09/19/2007, 11:33 PM

Something that I forgot to mention is that the tattoo cost me $350. Which is more than I've spent on any other single PC Engine system, unless you include all the work I've had done to my Duo RX (in which case its about even).
