Adventure Game Tattoo

cosmicr · Fri 21/08/2009 07:36:05

Hi All I'm travelling to the USA in October, and to commemorate I've decide I'm gonna get a tattoo whilst I'm there.

It took me ages to think of what I want, but then thought about my passions, and retro gaming is right up there in number 1 spot.

So anyway I want to get a tattoo maybe 4x4cm but I cant think of exactly what to get. My biggest passion is Sierra adventure games, especially the space quest series and space quest 5. I thought of maybe getting the old sierra logo, but thats not very attractive. I also thought of getting something like a pixelated ship from space invaders, but thats not very original. Another idea was getting a tatt of spike from SQ5. I'm undecided about that one too.

So anyway, has anyone got any ideas? It would need to look cool as well as be an obvious homage to my favourite gaming era.

My, there are so many pictures of Roger's face in the Games/Boxshots... Why not just using that one?

How about a naked picture of Roberta Williams?

I totally can imagine a fellow with the huge Sierra logo on his shoulder. Way cool

You can always bring in this as a template?

What, you mean an unfinished Contra code with the wrong console?

Edit: I just noticed the "Start" at the end, I thought it was an equals sign but it's actually the GB start button. Still looks like they mixed up A and B though.

On what part of your body do you want to put a tattoo?

If you have a long ****, this could work.

I'm sorry.

I was thinking something four lettered, long, erect, and separating head from body. Neck.

If I was into tattoos, I'd definitely get Roger Wilco posing with a mop. And yes, I'm dead serious.

CJ's face, on your chest, in life-size. Doing the biggest, toothiest grin he can.

When you mentioned being a Sierra fan the first thing that popped into my head was the Starcon Insignia that Roger wears in the later games. That may also be questionable in visual terms, but I figured it would be the least likely tatt for the guy to screw up.

Hmmm, sounds like somebody's seen the cover of the [allegedly] best-selling computer game of all time... (I think she's the one on the right..)

I totally forgot about that box cover! That's quite epic.

To be very precise:

Quote from: Sierra Trivia
The woman on the left was a shipping clerk at On-Line Systems, the one in the center is the wife of Bob Davis who created Ulysses and the Golden Fleece and the one on the right is Roberta Williams herself. The man was a waiter from a local restaurant.

Just a quick photoshop of the sierra logo on a shoulder. I'd go for a sierra tattoo!

Intense Degree · Mon 24/08/2009 09:55:51

That Sierra logo looks brilliant!

Or if not how about Gabriel Knight's Schatenjager talisman?

I've been planning to get a pixel perfect Guybrush sporting shovel on my arm since i was like 12. I finally have the money saved to get sleeves but haven't finished any of my designs.
