Tat Concept

I have wanted a tattoo since I was in college (I am 32 now) but I just never did it. This past summer I took the plunge and got two of them. The two I wanted were basic letter designs on each shoulder. One being my pro-wrestling logo (P.C. = Perfect Creation) and the other being my wife's name formed with symbols I associate with her (love, wife, mother).

Now here is the big one. This is going on the right leg from the knee down. I've always wanted a tattoo that would symbolize my favorite games I've played throughout my life. Games that have meant something to me or remind me of fun times. I've been playing games since the Atari 2600. I wrote down each system I owned and what games really stood out or made an emotional connection with me. As the list came together I realized that while I grew up on Combat, multiple C-64 games, Mario, Zelda, etc. none of them really made me want to have a tattoo with then on me. I also wanted something different. Most gamer tats I see are Mario, Zelda, etc. I didn't want that again. I love Mario and Zelda don't get me wrong, but not that much.

My tattoo artist is going to work with me to create a montage of these pictures. The concept design appears at the top of this entry. Read on to see the reference pics that will be used as the foundation for the leg sleeve. Stay tuned as I will updating each week as we progress!

Here is the list with pics. Some of the pics have words in them or will be obviously be cropped for purposes of the tattoo. These were just the base images I've provided to my tattoo artist as a starting point. They will be tweaked!

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1) - Best CV ever - Alucard + Moon and Castle (will be put together in tattoo)

Quake 1 (PC) - A nightly ritual in college

Metal Gear Solid (PS1) - Codec - Snake? Snaaaaaaaaaaake!

Metroid Series (Nintendo) - Samus

Splinter Cell (Xbox) - Sam Fisher - Gotta love the iconic night goggles.

[b]Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast (JKII) (PC) - Love this game, was in a clan for a while NF/SO :)

Knights of the Old Republic (PC) - Absolutely love this game - Malak is my fav

Half Life 2 (PC) - A Classic, and I love the Citadel

Unreal Series (PC) - My favorite FPS of all time

Gears of War (X360) - According to my Xbox 360's Blog, it my most played game on the 360. ;) The logo rocks too.

Crackdown (Xbox 360) - Agility Orb - If you played this game you know what these are. You already know addicting and frustrating they can be!

More updates coming soon!

I think the guy in the circle at the end would be cool along with the bright light/blue background. They are the less game oriented ones..depends how hardcore your going ;)
