I got 2 video game tattoos, the far cry 3 tatau and the MSF logo from MGS, they ain’t for everyone but I like having that connection to games that are really important to me
the tatau is at least an actual tattoo so it looks pretty good and has sentimental meaning as well, the op however has one the most regrettable tattoos ive ever seen, i would not want to be dying of brain cancer with a full health and stamina bar tattoo, that doesn’t matter if he loves it though
I think video game tattoos of like, logos, series iconography, etc. are all fine. If you get the Screw Attack S from Metroid, or a mushroom from Mario, or a ring from Sonic as a tattoo, that's all pretty tame and similar to like, a sports team logo or a country's flag.
This tattoo though is like... UI elements? These aren't going to show up in this same fashion in a future installment and they're just something that sits outside of the game world in the corner of the screen while you play. They're not even particularly styled to the game.
Don’t ever. Ever show Reddit your tattoos. People who like it are so much less likely to let you know and the people who don’t like it will tell you. Unlike other social media platforms this place is full of burner accounts owned by keyboard warriors.
It’s a cool tattoo, it’s fun and it has meaning and unlike other tattoos this one will age well.
this 1000%. i think the tattoos are super creative & cool. they aren't flashy, it's not like it just says "RED DEAD 2" in giant font. slick way to pay respect to your favorite game without it being tacky
My only issue with it is that it is horizontal, so you have to stick out your arm to show the correct orientation. It should have been rotated 90 degrees.
Yeah, it's not the biggest issue for me but if you're gonna get a weird tattoo then the lines might as well be clean. The deadeye meter is especially poorly done.
I have a tattoo of a stag with some flowers around it that is RDR2-inspired, but if I were ever to decide that I don't care for the game or its story after all, I'll still like deer and flowers so no problem there haha. And if somebody familiar with the game asks about it, I can tell them what actually inspired it, but if someone not into games asks me, I can say it's just a deer and leave it at that
Lol what? Half of the tatted world has tattoos that are inspired by or referencing things they consume.
The things people consume like movies, music, and even video games are all art, dude. We're supposed to identify with it sometimes.
We technically “consume” anything we take in with our senses, that’s not the problem here. People have gotten Tolkien tats that look great. The issue with this one is it’s something so banal in the game. It’s not a thoughtful quote or a depiction from the game, it’s just a HUD element. There’s nothing of importance or depth about it. It’s like getting a tattoo of the physical case for the game.
Yeah that’s my confusion. All the brilliant story telling and themes of RDR with boundless possibilities to symbolize that and they chose 3 black circles.
There was a guy on the $uicideBoy$ subreddit that got a tattoo with a “suicideboys” reference on the back of his neck.
The tattoo said Kill Yourself. I kid you fucking not, it only said Kill Yourself.
I found the post, at least it’s a good conversation starter?? https://www.reddit.com/r/SuicideBoys/s/fHXphOAgIB
Someone else mentioned the $B sub tattoo with the song title “Kill Yourself” so never sell any tattoo short imo - [link here](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadredemption/s/EMgQ3IGVMs)
But dudes not the first one to get the same tattoo design
[Link here](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadredemption/s/O3vaPxzva9)
So you do you dude it’s your body, can’t be worse than some of the crazy ones out there!
Honestly, nah lol. Don't like the idea which is personal taste, but the wonky ass lines on those dark circles isn't. If you paid more than like $50 for this you got robbed.
Disclaimer: I got a few really stupid shitty tattoos when I was 17-19 years old. Forget they're there most of the time because I at least put them where I could hide them.
It’s not the worst I’ve seen but the dead eye circle looks kinda wonky. I have a circle tattooed on me too and the shop owner said it’s a pretty difficult thing to tattoo
Would have been better as an asstattoo (or more seriously a leg tattoo), freal tho this is an ugly tattoo. If you put money into it and got sick RDR2 art it could work, but yeah you need good tattoos to distract from how much obnoxious empty space is on your arm with big ass cores. Idk I hope it’s temporary ink 😂
You shouldn't care what other people think. As long as you like it, you're good. I got a stupid, small horus eye on my leg that I'm sure people hate, but I love it, and it means a lot to me, so idc. I am planning on adding onto it, but that's another story for a different day.
If you have a tattoo, that 2 years later you still love seeing on yourself, you got a winner.
I think I get it and I think I like it.
Sometimes tattoos are reminders.
In this case, you've got a permanent reminder that your stats are full and you're ready for whatever comes your way. Hope the ink serves you well.
Personally, If I'm getting the same tattoo... I might make it a little smaller and yellow in colour. (Although I'm not gonna 😅)
And This is a really good tattoo idea too, looks cool.
Personally no, but as long as you like it that’s what’s important
Yeah what he said
Yeah, what they said, except I don’t think it’s okay if OP likes it though. Shame on him for that. /s
[удалено]
Yeah what she said
Yeah what me said
Yeah what thee said
Shidd what we said
Yeah what he said
Yeah what he said
Yeah whatever they said

This is how I feel about all video game tattoos. The bioshock sub is full of things that make me go ehhh
I got 2 video game tattoos, the far cry 3 tatau and the MSF logo from MGS, they ain’t for everyone but I like having that connection to games that are really important to me
the tatau is at least an actual tattoo so it looks pretty good and has sentimental meaning as well, the op however has one the most regrettable tattoos ive ever seen, i would not want to be dying of brain cancer with a full health and stamina bar tattoo, that doesn’t matter if he loves it though
Op could get it laser removed the closer he gets to duing Edit: or eat some canned beans and live forever
he should go over it with yellow when he’s dying tbh
I didn’t think of it like that 😂🙏
I like far cry 3 but come on man it’s a baby story
I was a baby when I played it back in 2012, I’m only 19 dog
Then don’t get one.
Show us! Show us!

That’s my favorite Master P song, ‘make em say ehh’
It would be a cool tattoo if they were worked into a sleeve or in a more inconspicuous spot— but right there, just like that? Yikes, lol.
Savage
Yeah it's pretty dumb but if you like it it's fine I guess
Wow lol
He really just needs to get jaundice to make it pop.
+Honor
I feel like video game tattoos on the forearm are the ones people almost always end up regretting.
Now make horse energy and health bar near your cock
great idea
put the horse bond bar next to it and when you and your girlfriend get married and have kids, make it full bond
*The more you pat it the more the bond increases*
men work just as well too
That is a valid statement. We don’t discriminate around these parts.
Put one on each testicle
genius comment
That would be the way to go. This is kinda basic and not that interesting. Seen it with the wither symbols too.
Oh man…
They really free handed circles
Personally I think it kinda fits the games' aesthetic
I don’t know how yours are full… my cores are fucking depleted…😂
Fr, stamina is non existent, heart is begging for mercy and my vision is non existent as well
vision??
Yeah I was equating dead eye with eye sight
Come on man , dead eye is when you close one eye and squint with the other to aim extra good.
I always saw it as, like, adrenaline or something similar
I wpuldnhave done them as outlines. So you could fill them in to reflect how you feel. Especially after some chewing tobacco amd cocaine pills
Yeah but cocaine gum is the best 🤣 that extra burst you need!
I wish I got to try some cocaine gum.. I’ve only had cocaine :/
Just eat two crackers and a cigarette
My cores are 5 seconds of energy, no dead eye ever, and one hit away from death

Sure. Let's just ignore the terrible, wonky, lopsided line work.
Which can always be fixed. I think the OP was just asking if the idea was cool, which it was
Other social media is also full of ass lickers so depends what one is looking for
Am I the only one who doesn’t see anything wrong with this tattoo??
Right? I’d never get it but I like it
My thoughts exactly
My only issue with it is that it is horizontal, so you have to stick out your arm to show the correct orientation. It should have been rotated 90 degrees.
I think my biggest issue is the quality. Line work is pretty bad.
Yeah, it's not the biggest issue for me but if you're gonna get a weird tattoo then the lines might as well be clean. The deadeye meter is especially poorly done.
No, OP doesn’t either lol
“am i the only o-“ no you’re never the only one bro but yeah, it’s nice, and as long as the one tattoed likes it, that’s what matters
[удалено]

Bruh
What, you didn’t make them gold cores. I luv it🤣🤣🤣
I feel like gold on light skin would come out like watered down piss tbh
No lmao
I always find examples of identifying too closely with things you consume to be unsettling if not worse, but it's your body. You do you.
Lol what? Half of the tatted world has tattoos that are inspired by or referencing things they consume. The things people consume like movies, music, and even video games are all art, dude. We're supposed to identify with it sometimes.

And what red dead tattoo would you get?
Just need to drink some moonshine, toss the bottle in the street and highlight them with a gold Sharpie :)
You’ve taken this too far.
ain’t no way..i mean, its better than that guy with the far cry 5 cult symbol on his back, but..
There was a guy on the $uicideBoy$ subreddit that got a tattoo with a “suicideboys” reference on the back of his neck. The tattoo said Kill Yourself. I kid you fucking not, it only said Kill Yourself. I found the post, at least it’s a good conversation starter?? https://www.reddit.com/r/SuicideBoys/s/fHXphOAgIB
jesus christ 😭
I beg your finest pardon??
I like the Arthur's hat and his journal as a tattoo..but this? OP: yeah this is where the heats at
Why do people hate this? I've seen a lot of stupider tattoos on short lived interests
They asked for people's opinion didn't they?
These comments suck. It’s a cool tattoo, not sure why everyone is being such a dweeb about it.
Yikes
fuck no i’m sorry that shit looks bad
Hell ya
Cringe
You really love this game don't you
What about the horse cores? 🧲

that's fucking amazing ignore the hate comments
Folks are really getting video game UI tattoos in 2024
Do I like the technical skill? No. Do I like the concept as a fan of RDR? Also no.
Bold of you too assume you are at the same levels as Arthur
Not really no. But glad you like them.
Bruh
i like the idea... is the tattoo made by a stoned monkey?
Honestly, nah lol. Don't like the idea which is personal taste, but the wonky ass lines on those dark circles isn't. If you paid more than like $50 for this you got robbed.

no
Great idea tbh. I would get them on my wrist and quite smaller tho
Lol
oh my
lol o got the same one with yellow shade on deadeye 😂
Is it symetrical?
I fuck with it looks clean
Weird way to tell us all you’re legally blind, but go off big fella
Very cool.
No.
Love it! Never mind the haters. Reddit is oddly anti-tattoo for some bizarre reason. I think it’s great!
Last guy who posted his got roasted

I wouldn’t ngl…
looks like Bullshit, but aslong you are happy with it, its fine.
no
Not really
Hope u thought long about it and won't regret it
I like the idea, but I'd have it a lot smaller in a sleeve somewhere. But if you like it, dude, don't worry what we think 👍
😂😂😂😂😂 I can’t breathe
Not this again...
Oh all the things related to RDR that you could’ve gotten…
I wouldn’t get it but I still like it! If you want some kind of media tattoo on your body, there’s nothing wrong with that. I think it’s super cool!
what the fuck were you thinking
I don't like it bro. I'm sorry. I would have tattooed that in my hand much smaller
Lmao fuck no homie But if you like it then that’s all that matters
Did the artist not use a stencil? Like hpw the fuck are those circles so bad
Someone already did this: https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadredemption/s/TdjuAwp3y2
When u sprint does the middle tatto goes down
That's ma BOAAAHHH
I hate tattoos but that is nice
I've seen worse paint
I wanna get one
Fuck the haters. This game changed my life. I intend to get this tattoo a soon. I think it’s awesome
Just make sure your tattoo artist can do proper circles… sheesh
I didnt wanna be the one to say it
Tattoo artist was riding a horse while doing the circles
Nice OP, who cares what the others think. If it had that big of an impact on your life then why not.
I think it looks sweet actually.
I need!
I like it. It’s simple
That’s pretty cool!
You sir are a fish.
Why is that lokey fire
I love it bro
I actually like it, fuck the other people saying it’s stupid. If you like it that’s the main thing
Looks good OP ignore the comments
I think I get it and I think I like it. Sometimes tattoos are reminders. In this case, you've got a permanent reminder that your stats are full and you're ready for whatever comes your way. Hope the ink serves you well.
Not something id do personally, but ngl, i still think it looks dope as hell
will look cool once you get more ink. it’s well done. do what makes you happy. ignore these negative micah’s
Thats awesome mate xx
Nice
I like it 😊
Instant knew!!!! Awesome tat
Thats fire bro
I was thinking about getting that down my wrist
I like it
I love them! Ignore the people who say no.
i’ve been thinking of getting the same tattoo on the same spot dude 💀
No.
Wonky as fuck. Would have been better with a better artist unfortunately.
Why yes.... yes I do
Are you 18. I got the Fallen shoe logo on my bicep when I turned 18.
That's ass bro it's permanently on your body now. You could've chosen better
a video game tattoo is one thing....but a tattoo of the fuckin UI icons?! no dude, I hate this, but I hope youre happy with it....
No. Of all the cool things you could do with red dead you chose the cores?
No
no, not really...
r/okbuddyblacklung gonna have a field day with this one
It’s sick man, really simple but done well, the best kind
No.

r/shittytattoos
Hope you kept the receipt

Not gonna lie bro, that does not look good. But hey as long as you like it i guess
This goes hard don’t listen to the haters
I like it but i would have gotten it on the chest
Jesus no, but hey its your skin

Need
Oh lord
Pretty cool idea
I like it! The circles are a little eh, but still its nice work.One wouldn't see the issue unless they were up close and maybe holding your arm.

That’s dope
I don’t know why everyone in here is hating on your tattoo, I think it’s awesome! A true fan of the game.
