We all know some things are pure awesome when it comes to icons, logos or faces in games. But how many of you would have these inked onto you permanently?

I bring this up after I had the pleasure of meeting a girl who has a Moogle tattooed on her wrist:

Apparently she will be getting a "sleeve" of them, and the next one is Vivi.

It made me think about videogaming tattoos i have seen. Namely, those involved with EVE. I know a few people who have had a racial logo tattoo'd onto them - the most popular being Gurista and Minmatar (sorry, can't find the one I had of this on someone) logos, however some people such as Chribba (possibly the most well known character) have specialised a bit.

Another one!

This post has a point. What game-related tattoo's do you know of? Is it worth while? Share and discuss.

EDIT: Additional, the BSOD Tattoo

I thought nothing could scare me more than EVE players, but apparently i discounted EVE players with Tattoos.

just go on google images and search Nintendo Tattoo's, enought said these people are psycho

After a bit of searching....

This is why Warhammer owns.

I remember we had someone who had Yahtzee tattooed on themselve, posted up the pics here on the escapist.

I can't find the thread, as without an exact word match to a phrase used i can't locate jack. I applaud anyone who can find it.

Okay, that backpiece kicks ass. Chaos ftw.

That moogle is pretty kewl. N personally dont see any big deal about getting game related tattoos. Better than another generic koi carp or some other case of Asian/Americana culture theft that seems to be what all the kewl kids get. Least a gaming tattoo might have some cultural/personal significance to a gamer.

For anyone that was wondering, it's Engra deathsword a warhammer fantasy champion of chaos.

I plan on getting a nerd sleave done eventually, just need an artist that feels up to the challenge.

I like tattoos and all but thats a bit extreme. Why a Moogle?

All I can think about that is, "Look at me, I steal stuff from Deviant Art!" or something like that.

Its actually stolen from Warhammer Onlines concept art, but I get what you mean. Also as cool as it looks I'm not sure if it actually works that well as a tattoo.

I have Mega Man tattooed on my right forearm and Laharl from Disgaea right above him.

I don't personally have any gaming related tattoos but one of my mates has pixelated cherries from Pacman tattood on his ankle. They're pretty lame and I'm positive he's going to regret them at some point. But he won't admit it so I'll never know.

I've always sort of wanted the crest from the Hylian Shield (from Zelda) on my back. Not the whole thing, just the yellow bit.

I have the sign of the Trickster from 'Thief - The Dark Project' on my right calf ^-^

I liked the design and thought about getting it tatooed for years, but didn't want to get it without a context (I think tatoos without symbolism are just dead). Well, about five months ago I got my context and I just knew it was the right time.

I have the Cheshire Cat from American Mcgee's Alice on my shoulder (just his head)

I can't say I'd ever do this. I'm obviously a gamer and all but having something like that on my body forever has always given me the creeps.

It's not from a game per se (although it has been in several games) but my best friend has a tattoo of the Rebel Alliance symbol from Star Wars.

P.S. To answer the question, tattoos are not for me, game-based or otherwise, but to each his/her own.

Pretty badass-looking in my opinion.

Fucking. Awesome.

Moogles are cute, and their general character suits her to a T.

I think I'm gonna get a Lambda tattoo on my nape, just for kicks. Barcodes and xXx are far too common.

BSOD tattoo was wicked.

EVE Tattoos have always freaked me out a little but the Guristas logo is so damn cool that its better than 90% of normal skull type tattooos.

I have a friend with the FOX logo from MGS3 on his upper right arm. Very bad ass.

Ok, can anyone tell me what a damn "Moogle" is? I guess it's not the strangest tattoo I've seen on a woman. I once dated a girl with red pepper on her backside. Then another girl with a series of stars below her belly button. I associated those with her rank in the whore army. She was a field marshall or something, but I digress...wait, I don't even remember what I was talking about. Oh well...

I hate to be pedantic, but that's one of the most iconic images in the Games Workshop franchise, and has been around for a lot longer than Warhammer Online has.

The BSOD tattoo would be good if you were a hitman.

"My weapon? A motherboard. My trigger? Any key."

+boom+

"The application has been terminated."

QFT, that is a work by John "blanchitsu" Blanche I believe, and was first published with the 3rd or 4th edition of Warhammer Fantasy Chaos? (the current is the 7th edition)

Moogles have been ongoing characters in one form or another in the Final Fantasy series for years. I think it was FFIII that had them first, but I may be wrong.

Gotta say that Abe one is my favourite so far.

Moogles are beyond cute, they're farkin' awesome!

As for that warhammer one...
Excessive...
That's all i can say.

is not a videogame character but i have a "Deadpool" icon in my arm, Chimichanga!

Yeah then well it cool i know some people like that.

This is a page of guys with a bunch of different Oddworld body art. Sorry for being a bit single minded, but I've looked into it before. Was considering getting an Abe tattoo on my side(rib cage)

Out of all of those, this wins the day. Its a shame they closed down the studio.
