It's awesome to get tatoos of Turbo games outside of Japan because a lot of people won't really recognise them and might think they are pretty cool actually, and the people that do recognise them will give you a hardcore gamer to talk to. ;)

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I also have the non-satanic(right side up star) pentagram from Shaft's boss fight in Dracula X on my shoulder.


Non-Satanic, aren't they all?

Quick lil symbology lesson for y'all here...

Neither the pentacle nor the pentagram are "Satanic" symbols, they're ancient pagan symbols describing two distinct ways of life. The five points represent what they considered the five elements of the universe: fire, water, earth, air, and spirit. The pentacle has its spirit point upwards to represent "the triumph of spirit over matter". The pentagram has its earth point downwards to represent "gratification of earthly pleasures". Contrary to popular belief, the pentagram is NOT an inverted pentacle...it's actually rotated 72 degrees. Neopagan Satanism (Levayism) uses a modified version of the pentagram with the head of Baphomet (one of the four infernal names, alongside Leviathan, Satan, and Belial) overlaid onto the symbol...it's a sign of the religion. However, Levayism isn't what most people would be considered "Satanic"...it's a religion of self-worship and freedom...when people think of "Satanism", what they're thinking of is "Cultism"...an anti-Christian psuedo-religion that does all kinds of stupid and "evil" things, such as killing cats, enslaving people, and using witchcraft for the wrong reasons. True Satanists (theistic ones who follow the god Sat-Tan, "The All And The One", "Creator Of The Cosmos") and Levayists (ones who follow the teachings of the late Anton LeVay) are nothing like the "Satanists" you see in pop culture or hear about from Christian leaders.

Those are some badass tattoos...maybe I'll get a tattoo of Rumi on my arm. :D

A tatoo of the whole board from Devil's Crush on my entire back would be so badass.

Better yet, a black shaded Alien Crush with red highlights(for eyes and such).

OK, here's the final verdict: the Air Zonk tattoo rules. it's the best. in general, I don't like tattooed text, but the air zonk text is so sweet that it just works very nicely with the lounging Zonk above it.

BRAVO!

Not trying to double team on you black tiger, I know you'll have to spend the rest of your life with those and you cannot change them, but I honestly have to agree with Steve a bit on the text and say you're kinda better off with just the characters. If you were to encounter more Turbo fans in public, the fun part is hearing the name of the game passing the lips of the person as they guess what game the character that's on your shoulder is from.

Ahhh the psychological shift of old school 2-D fans in a mainstream gaming world. In the outside world, it's like being on a desert island. You think you're the last one left.

I thought the Air Zonk tattoo ruled all around in general.

I'm getting J.J. and Jeff tattoos.

Like I said, only the first tattoo is mine.

If I did get a Zonk tattoo, I wouldn't get the logo either. I'm not that big a Zonk fan and am not a fan of the logo.

For the right image I'd get a title(like Forgotton Worlds, or Daimakaimura, Side Arms, SFIICE etc...), or I'd just get the title, like maybe just Daimakaimura.

I'd get the entire japanese flyer across my back if the space wasn't already taken.

I wish Black Tiger/Dragon had a classic poster like that.

HOW DID I MISS THIS THREAD YESTERDAY??????? !!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, I think that you are one of the few, IF ONLY, folks on earth with TurboTattoos! Seriously. If you get a chance, I'm sure we'd all like to see the one on your shoulder. :D






This was one of my first tattoos and wasn't done very well.

Back then, the internet hadn't really taken off and it was years before I got a Sega Netlink, let alone a PC.

I just really loved Drac X and Turbo/PCE, even though I thought that I was the only one left in the world.

Hey, I stupidly allowed a dude I knew to use me a "training canvas" because I'd get the tattoos for free.  I love the designs he did, BUT HE f**ked up and gave me a bunch of scars as well.

Overall, I wouldn't have done it any differently -- I'm just glad I didn't get too many tattoos from this dude. BONUS: I can't remember his real name. Just his nickname: "Turtle". I kid you not.

Ya, I have a tattoo kit and just need an autoclave before finding people stupid enough to let me practice on them. Its looking like my brother will probably be the guinea pig.
