So I have been kicking around the idea of getting my first, but definitely not last, tattoo. I got a couple of ideas thus far. Here was what I was thinking.
1- Portal
This one seems a little self explanatory. I was thinking get one on the shoulder, and the other one on the ankle, just to convey the theme correctly. I want this one because of just how well Portal was done. This was something that was done so well that it took most people by surprise, with a showcase of great humor, whitty puzzles and something that could be interpreted with varying amounts of depth. Much like human beings…
2- Power up!
This one is also a two part-er. I was thinking getting the 1up Mario Mushroom on my left wrist, and the Poison Mushroom on my right wrist. Or vice versa. I like this idea because it represents polar opposites, a key to life. Balance is something that I see everyday, be it the ratio of food to drink, or in the way the world works. Good VS Evil. Light VS Dark. These are ideals which everyone can relate to.
3- Wisdom, Power, Courage
The Triforce is a symbol of completeness. Wisdom is something one must obtain, as is power and courage. These themes transcend gaming more than people think, often used as characteristics used to describe people. The idea behind this is I would get the tattoo, but only merely the outline. I would fill in each corresponding section when I feel that I have obtained each virtue in life. An example of this would be I would fill in Courage after proposing to an eventual spouse. This tattoo would probably be located on my left forearm.
There are many more ideas I have for tattoo’s, but I believe this is a good starting point.
