Tattoo Thread

Since I don’t think we have one of these yet, here’s a thread for celebrating your tattoos :)

Everything welcome - from the most beautiful sleeves to the scruffiest stick and pokes all are valid and welcome!

Some of mine to start:

Forearm is the title character from my game Battery Acid Boy (and Battery Acid Boy 2!), and on my upper arm is Mustachio from L4D2 and the Las Plagas symbol from RE4 :)

Mine are mostly stick and poke by me - I’m not great but I really enjoy it! Happy to share resources/tips etc

This thread revealed to me that I have very few good pics of my tattoos, which I plan to rectify shortly.

Absolutely wonderful, the wings on the goose are just gorgeous!

I might have to try something inspired by the Fez tattoo, I’ve never really tried shading but the pixels just look so good!

Another one of my stick and poke tattoos from a year or two back - this was one of my first tries and clean geometric shapes, still quite happy how it turned out!

In case it’s not clear, it’s of the sprite from the Atari ET game. Learning the story of the game was what first inspired me to try out game dev: I figured if someone could create a game back then in 5 weeks then with the wealth of modern tools and software available now I had no excuse not to give it a go myself!

That’s a beautiful lesson to take from that story.

It would take too long to take all tattoos so here is just one a friend of mine did trying their first tattoo on someone.
It’s the Bitsy Cat from the Bitsy engine. It’s a Bitsy cat from the 7.0 version, that’s why it’s a bit vibrating :D
