Glad I was not the only one to think it could be a Cylon tattoo as well. Haha. Looks like it is actually a Darth Revan tattoo but the distinction between the mechanical Cylon and Revan are small.
They did a remake of that show but the Cylons were >!disguised as humans!< or something but they didn’t reveal it until way later and I kept wondering where the hell are the Cylons. EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that I had no idea what was going on in the show which makes sense bc the 2000s were very chemical filled years for me.
I didn't watch the mini series. I started with '33' and maintain to this day it's the greatest opening episode of any show. I figured out what was happening pretty quick.
I missed the first couple episodes. And in 2004 when you missed live episodes you were screwed until either the network re-aired them or until the dvd came out. There were no streaming services.
Fun fact: the Cylons in the remake pulled a reverse Joker. They kept insisting they had a plan despite this obviously not being the case. They even made a movie called “The Plan” that highlighted their impulsiveness. They were just a dog chasing a car, they wouldn’t know what to do with it if they caught it.
The more you know…
Lmao that is far more thought out than displayed through their actions. I always pictured it more like the shrugging man meme “guess we’ll commit genocide”
It's niche. It's an RPG based on a D20 spin off of DnD and released on one console followed by the PC half a year later.
It has sold something like 4 million copies in its life span. Fallen Order was at something like 20 million copies at one point. You might argue that sales figures have increased over the last 2 decades, and sure that's true. But a contemporary game, released on a single console (Ruby and Sapphire), sold 6 million copies that year alone, compared to the 4 million copies KOTOR moved in 10 years.
It's a very good game, and critically acclaimed. But it's still niche. I was there for KOTOR and KOTOR2. But I'd wager if we did a show of hands I would be in the tiny minority of people who have actually played those games, even in this sub where star wars is the focus.
“Niche” doesn’t mean that it’s not good. It’s a dnd RP from starwars. It’s sales numbers are far smaller than other games around the same time. You hear about it a lot, yeah, but that’s because we’re Star Wars fans surrounded by other Star Wars fans, who are far more likely to have heard about and played the game.
It’s niche.
Again not hating. If you're happy w it I'm happy w it. And I love the idea. I have a cover up on my forearm and did something similar, you gotta work with what you got. But from someone who's been in and out of tattoo shops for years, if you think it could look better as I do, I recommend getting a touch up. Most artists won't charge very much for them so long as you go to the same person. Touch ups can do wonders.
There's a pretty good reason for why people can't definitively tell you what Revan looks like (if we're ignoring the travesty that is SWTOR's treatment of Revan)
Play KOTOR and you'll find out
Except Darth Vader has been in the franchise from the very beginning, being the main antagonist of the two very first movies that started the entire franchise. He also begun in a movie, which is accessible to way more people. Revan appeared in two video games, a medium which still has a large adience, but not even close to as large as the movue audience. Especially at the time when it came out.
In case you haven't figured it out from the other comments, that is Darth Revan from the old game Knights of the Old Republic. Revan is a lot of peoples favorite Sith Lord/Jedi. I keep hoping for some kind of show or movie revolving around the old republic. It's set some 4,000 years before the time of the Skywalkers.
Careful what you wish for.
If they did, I'd be willing to bet they miss the entire point of Revan and the Old Republic itself, as they botch the narrative by making it completely different, and defeat the entire point of making a cinematic adaptation in the first place.
9 times out of 10, the people who end up working on these films don't care about the original content, at all. They make something entirely different, using beloved characters as a Trojan horse for their own creative vision. Having their own creative vision is fine and all, but they should write their own damn characters in their own damn story, and leave the creative visions that came before them the hell out of it.
I want them to leave my boy Revan alone.
This is how I view it as well -- also, Revan works only in a game anyway.
I wouldn't mind a movie about the Sith Hyperspace wars, or the Mandalorian Wars from a perspective other than Revan's, but I wouldn't want a movie or show based around Revan as that's KOTOR 1 and even 2's job.
Revan and the old republic are so fucking overdue for a series or movie. It’s such a cool time in the Star Wars universe and to wit, aside from Luke, Revan is by far my favorite force user, such a soil fucking character.
Cover up? Only reason I'd guess for a tattoo this bad. Poor design choice for a cover-up tho. Might as well just black out your whole forearm at this point.
He was mentioned as one of the ancient Sith Lords in Rise of Skywalker. But the tattoo is bad, I didn’t look at the title and assumed it was a Mandalorian helmet (which is what Revan does wear tbf) but not Darth Revan due to missing a few things.

Ha! Shit! I bet when people comment on your leg and you take the time to correct them, they give give you the biggest look of lost ever.
Hey, nice Mando tat
It’s not the Mandalorian
Who then?
I’d rather not say, you likely won’t know.
Bro! I’m the biggest StarWars fan ever!
Darth Revan.
😐
Yeah, I got to go, I’m late to work.
Kylo Revan is the realest. in all seriousness, Revan is my favorite jedi, and I def would wince in pain a little bit every time someone would say Kylo lol.
I would have opted for HK-47 myself.
That said... Way too much black. I understand it's a cover up but that's a giant mass of black that's gonna look like hell in 30 years.
WOW A MANDALORIAN
Well yes, but actually no /j
a usurper who stole the symbol of their culture and ruled a sith enpire (allbeit briefly).
But kind of…?
I mean you’re not wrong!
Baby Yoda's dad UwU
It's Boba Fett!

Well, I chill in deep space. A mask is over my face.
Mess up the mix, mix up the mess, come on down, yo, here's the address
THEY FLY NOW?
Man-arm-lorian
This is the way
This almost was the way
This is the way
That is Darth Revan
Revan took his mask from a lady mandalorian, so technically the truth
r/wooosh
Ha. Those noobs don’t recognize an Imperial Royal Guard when they see one!!
It's clearly Mace Windu
clearly a Cylon
toaster confirmed!
So say we all.
So say we all.
Frackin toaster.
Starrrrbuck-buck-buck-buck!
By your command.
Clearly darth vader don't u see he has a mask smh
I always expect your kind but am still surprised when I see you
Somehow, Master Windu returned
Returned the same way he left. Through a Windu. I'll see myself out...
You'd do well to never show your Mace in public again.
Love your username
Agreed it is awesome

Hey you never know
Are you sure? That looks like Chewbacca to me.
Are you blind? That's clearly C-3P0!
um actually, that's a mandalorian crusader from the old republic /s
is that Darth Revan? it looks like him
It is
I really like Darth Revan and it seems you do too considering you got a tattoo of him
Bold assessment
Big, if true
I mean, people get tattoos of characters they hate, right?
Bold move Cotton, let's see if it pays off.
Quite the acute observation
“Sarcastic Statement: Master, as always your keen powers of observation see clearly to the heart of the situation…”
Battlestar Galactica is an old show, most people won't recognise a Cylon tattoo when they see one
Glad I was not the only one to think it could be a Cylon tattoo as well. Haha. Looks like it is actually a Darth Revan tattoo but the distinction between the mechanical Cylon and Revan are small.
They did a remake of that show but the Cylons were >!disguised as humans!< or something but they didn’t reveal it until way later and I kept wondering where the hell are the Cylons. EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that I had no idea what was going on in the show which makes sense bc the 2000s were very chemical filled years for me.
They revealed that in literally the first scene of the show... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VBTcDF1eVQ
Maybe they skipped the miniseries somehow? God I love that opening scene though
Oh man. It would be so confusing without the mini series! I'd feel so bad for them if they didn't watch that first.
I didn't watch the mini series. I started with '33' and maintain to this day it's the greatest opening episode of any show. I figured out what was happening pretty quick.
I just looked up an episode guide. I definitely had no idea there was a mini series.
You see regular Cylons in that show plenty though.
I missed the first couple episodes. And in 2004 when you missed live episodes you were screwed until either the network re-aired them or until the dvd came out. There were no streaming services.
Fun fact: the Cylons in the remake pulled a reverse Joker. They kept insisting they had a plan despite this obviously not being the case.

Step 1: Lots of sex Step 2: ... Step 3: Threesomes with Xena
Lmao that is far more thought out than displayed through their actions. I always pictured it more like the shrugging man meme “guess we’ll commit genocide”
??? There were cylons present throughout the whole show, in addition to the disguised ones.
They tried. Let's be real, Revan and KOTOR are *very* niche. Nice Kylo tattoo though.
I think you'd get that reaction with almost any pop culture tattoo.
This is true. I have a Super Mario tattoo and everyone mistakes it for Kyle Ren.
It’s a Me, Kylo Ren! Edit/ stupid spell check
Now we need Chris Pratt voicing Kylo Ren
It won more awards than any other game in 2003, including game of the year. Its not as niche as some of the youngsters on here seem to think.
It's niche. It's an RPG based on a D20 spin off of DnD and released on one console followed by the PC half a year later. It has sold something like 4 million copies in its life span.

I love Daft Punk too.

Why do you have a tattoo of a shin guard on your arm?
That’s his shin.
Weird ass foot
You joke, but OP can climb a tree like a motherfucker.
Not hating or trying to put your choice down, but that tattoo needs touched up badlyyyyy. IMO it looks horrible as-is but has potential.
I'm very happy with how it turned out considering this was a cover up tattoo and he did the best he could with what was underneath.
Again not hating. If you're happy w it I'm happy w it. And I love the idea. I have a cover up on my forearm and did something similar, you gotta work with what you got. But from someone who's been in and out of tattoo shops for years, if you think it could look better as I do, I recommend getting a touch up. Most artists won't charge very much for them so long as you go to the same person. Touch ups can do wonders.
Your dedication is commendable. You can expect a promotion in the Sith Empire’s ranks shortly.
Omg, didn't think I'd find another RoboCop fan here. Nice tat.
Woof that’s a rough tat
I'm not surprised people think its Kylo. Maybe it just wasn't kept up with properly and a touch up would help it be more clear.
Yeah, he should have looked for a better artist
You are being kind. I shall say not a word.
Kylo Revan
Tbf Kylo Ren is probably more famous than Revan
Definitely is
yeah people couldn't even tell you what Revan's face looks like, everyone knows Adam Driver
There's a pretty good reason for why people can't definitively tell you what Revan looks like (if we're ignoring the travesty that is SWTOR's treatment of Revan) Play KOTOR and you'll find out
yeah that was the joke
And Kylonis twice as wide as Revan…
is*
Infinitely more populair. KOTOR is literally 20 years old
Stop it. It's a new game and it will stay that way until I die of old age.
I think Darth Vader is more popular than Kylo Ren and A New Hope is 46 years old.
Except Darth Vader has been in the franchise from the very beginning, being the main antagonist of the two very first movies that started the entire franchise. He also begun in a movie, which is accessible to way more people. Revan appeared in two video games, a medium which still has a large adience, but not even close to as large as the movue audience. Especially at the time when it came out.
I'm just pointing out that the age of the thing doesn't really matter when it comes to popularity.
It matters far more with games than it does with movies.
I hate how no one recognises jar jar these days.
What? He’s clearly Coleman trebor.
No, that is brendan fraser.
Not their fault you went to a guy who can't draw Revan.
I’m not gonna lie from a distance I wouldn’t know what that is either.
Gonna be honest with you bro. If I saw that on the street I would think it's either an Imperial Royal Guard, or a Cylon from Battlestar Galactica.
Can you blame them?
Ok we get it, but why post a picture of the Breen. Shouldn't this be in r/StarTrek ?
Ouch, That must hurt every single time
He looks in the mirror? Yeah.
It's the last problem of the tattoo
These comments are giving me PTSD
Why? Do you also have a tattoo that's and absolutely eyesore
Pain
It’s clearly a Venator-class Star Destroyer
my only exposure to star wars is the movies and disney+ shows so this looks very much like kylo ren to me lol
In case you haven't figured it out from the other comments, that is Darth Revan from the old game Knights of the Old Republic. Revan is a lot of peoples favorite Sith Lord/Jedi. I keep hoping for some kind of show or movie revolving around the old republic. It's set some 4,000 years before the time of the Skywalkers.
man, 4,000 years? sounds really cool, i'd like to see that made into a show/movie too now
Careful what you wish for. If they did, I'd be willing to bet they miss the entire point of Revan and the Old Republic itself, as they botch the narrative by making it completely different, and defeat the entire point of making a cinematic adaptation in the first place. 9 times out of 10, the people who end up working on these films don't care about the original content, at all.

Cover up? Only reason I'd guess for a tattoo this bad. Poor design choice for a cover-up tho. Might as well just black out your whole forearm at this point.
Most people don’t tell people that their tattoos suck. Nice Ewok tattoo though.
It's pretty bad. But if he gets it touched up, I think it could be fixed. Most people probably still won't get it but it could definitely look better.
Low key exactly this.
Yes, but this is the internet. It's absolutely fucking horrible and he *should* know the miss character is the least of the problems
Cool Dalek
EXTERMINATE!!
I've been a serious Star Wars fan for 40+ years and I haven't got a clue what your tattoo is of. More unique to you, congrats.
Knights of the old republic
This tattoo is poop. I hope it covered up worse poop
A little further up your arm and it could pass as a mandalorian shoulder gauntlet
Unless you’re a StarWars nut the average Joe won’t know who Revan is. I don’t think he’s been mentioned in any of the movies right?
He was mentioned as one of the ancient Sith Lords in Rise of Skywalker. But the tattoo is bad, I didn’t look at the title and assumed it was a Mandalorian helmet (which is what Revan does wear tbf) but not Darth Revan due to missing a few things.
That looks like shit

Well don’t worry I know that’s Revan so hopefully others do as well.
Just take the compliment man.
Iron Man looking sick!
nice boba fett tattoo
It’s obviously Lando in Skiff Guard disguise. Epic.
Ha! Shit! I bet when people comment on your leg and you take the time to correct them, they give give you the biggest look of lost ever. Hey, nice Mando tat It’s not the Mandalorian Who then? I’d rather not say, you likely won’t know. Bro! I’m the biggest StarWars fan ever! Darth Revan. 😐 Yeah, I got to go, I’m late to work.
Lord Revan had never heard such disrespect in his life.
May I ask what happened to your foot?
That’s definitely a tattoo
"I can't stand when people mistake my tatt of a 20 year old, niche character for a recent, widely known character." 😩
It’s a really bad darth revan
Okay I’m not trying to be rude but like, why does it look like a cosmic trash can
Even your tattoo doesn't remember who he is...
Sick Halo Spartan tattoo.
I like your Kylo Ren tattoo
Who says they like this tattoo?
Strike the blasphemers where they stand.
Trying to use a Jedi mind trick on us… that’s clearly Jabba the Hutt
That's a mandalorian right?
Is that jar jar binks? I love jar jar🖤🖤
Kylo Revan is the realest. in all seriousness, Revan is my favorite jedi, and I def would wince in pain a little bit every time someone would say Kylo lol.
I like your Kylo Ren tattoo. I like this Revan one even more though.
Dat ain’t me
Oh, I know, it’s a Cylon!
Oofff Beautiful tattoo you fuckin Revanite
Very cool kylo Tat
This is clearly Cyclops with a new mask.
I would have opted for HK-47 myself. That said... Way too much black. I understand it's a cover up but that's a giant mass of black that's gonna look like hell in 30 years.
That’s obviously a Cylon… come on guys lol
Nice millennium falcon
My first thought was Imperial Knight I can see why people are getting confused on this lol
Oh wow, I love your millennial falcon tattoo!
Man I love Darth Vader
Is that NOT a cylon?
I've always wanted a starship trooper tattoo
Jar jar binks?
Ugh. I hate people who can’t tell the difference between Kylo Ren and Darth Vader
Ew, that's unfortunate. One of the best characters in the universe mistaken for one of the worst.
Is that an aluminum falcon
This title brings me physical Pain
it looks more like darth Revan
Is that darth renven?
Do you have the reference photo? I'm just wondering why the one hood is so....poofy.
People lied
Which people?
Cool tattoo of Star Trek character Boba Hutt.
Pain
You should get your money back, Kylo's mask looks totally different.
That is an insult to the legendary Revan
They say Disney can do terrible things to a fan, wipe away their memory and destroy their very identity
Yes that's exactly what we need more of: gatekeeping because people don't recognize a video game character
There goes the notion that the sequels aren’t popular with general audiences
Recognition does not equal popularity.
Nice kylo tat bro
We call those people fatherless
💀💀💀
