Description Here's my Meta Knight tattoo!

It measures about 14 x 12 cm [5.5 x 5 in] and took 2 hours to make. c:

Now I have two of my favourite Nintendo series represented; Super Mario and Kirby. Ironically there are no Mario or Kirby on me, they are just a little bit too "good" for me. Good and obvious. I wanted to get MK back in 2008 after Brawl came out but I wasn't sure if it was just a fad or not... And now 3 years later I can tell it wasn't a fad, so I had it done. I love Kirby games because they're so darn sweet and cute, different and even I can play them. Or, most parts of them. I suck at Mario games though but I've loved to watch them ever since I was 5 or so.

In the future I'm hoping to get a left sleeve done, spreading from Waluigi to the shoulder and arm. Fill it with Super Mario and Kirby themes. Maybe a morsel of Zelda. C:

Full Waluigi picture can be found here!

Picture was taken ~2h after finishing the tattoo.

That sounds like an okay plan, waiting that is. c: Worked for me! Also great that you have job policies in mind and whatnot, you've clearly thought stuff over considering different aspects regarding tattoos. Shows maturity.

Yeah, at first I thought tattoos were only for "tough guys". But my brother and my sister got tattoos, so I may as well get something too. I'm also thinking about getting a Togepi. [link] It's been my favorite Pokemon for as long as I can remember.

Oh, I love the toge-family! Though I got into pokemon relatively late (~4 years ago?), so I'm not very familiar at all with the older generation.. I played Platinum and fell in love with Togekiss (which is still my ultimate favourite).

Here's a preview how Togepi tattoo looks like (in case you haven't seen this one): [link]
Looks like it's from same reference image that you linked. c: Cute little thing.

Yeah, I think it is. I'm gonna give myself some time to think about it though; I still don't know if I want Rosalina or Togepi first. December earliest. If I get one, I'll post it here. I wast thinking either this [link] or this [link] for Rosalina, although if I were to get just her face, I think I'd get this [link] The first one was drawn by my friend MostlyFunStuff, so I'm leaning towards that one, but it may be a bit oversexualized.

Oh, so you prefer something more stylized and not the official design/art. That's cool too, I've seen a couple stylized pokemon tattoos here and they come off as more original (in certain sense).

Anyway, take your time.

Alright. I will. And the idea just popped into my head after I posted that message:rather than get the Triforce, I'll get the Master Sword in between my shoulder blades. That I won't get for a long time though.

Aww, lucky. I wish I can have a tattoo of Meta Knight, but I don't want to ruin my skin though.

BabyVegeta In reply to FrostFlurry92 [2011-08-22 23:39:34 +0000 UTC]

Not to sound offensive, but you ... think I ruined my skin with this, then? Or are you referring to something else, like getting a bad job done onto you would be the ruinment?

I was concerned how it would end up looking as I hadn't been treated by this tattoo artist before. I only had his portfolio to trust, but I think he did a great job at mimicking my digital art piece into skin art.

I can understand that there are people who think any tattoo is the ruin of pristine skin. I, on the other hand, want to decorate myself with stuff that I like and unless it's a botched job I won't consider it to be a ruin. c:

I'm just saying for my own benifits, but it does look really cool. Sorry if I offended you in that way, I didn't mean it.

Tosi siisti älyttömän hienosti tehty. Näitähän olisi tosiaan hauska saada useampikin vierekkäin, kun toimii noin hyvin.

Oi, kiitoksia! C: Oli eri heppu taiteilijana (ja sen kyllä huomaa..) ja varmasti menen hänelle uudelleen jos sellainen tarve yllättää.

Enpä muista enää, että oliko sinulla jotain tatuointeja..? Jotain puhetta oli silloin 2 vuotta sitten, kun ensimmäisen hankin, ihan kuin olit maininnut tassunjäljistä tai jostain vastaavasta. Vai olisiko ollut kyseessä potentiaalinen tatuointiaihe, jos sellaisen koskaan ottaisit? Jotain tuommoista olen muistavinani. c:

Toivoshi In reply to BabyVegeta [2011-08-23 06:24:51 +0000 UTC]

Itsellä ei ole yhtään tatuointia mutta jos sellaisen joskus hankkisin niin se olisi tosiaan joku pieni, ja todennäköisesti tassuja, joten oikein muistit. en varmaan tule yhtä hankkimaan mutta muiden tatuointihankintoja on kuitenkin mukava seurata :3

Thank you very much, I'm very happy you like it!
I was rather worried how it would turn out, but I must say I'm a little blown away with it, too.

I really like it. I'm not getting another tattoo any time soon, I may touch up my waluigi one when it starts to fade, but that's about it for a few years. LOL!

Yeah, I think I've had it for a little while again with this one. Man, did it burn!

Yeah, when i got my Waluigi tattoo, I was excited to see the outline, when my uncle transferred it on my back, but I came to find out that it was over my shoulder blade, and it hurt like HELL!!!!

Wow, thank you very much..!
Especially awesome to have you say that since you saw my crazy times that 3 years ago when I was creating that one comic involving MK. I remember your support and that's what you commenting reminded me of.

Thanks also sticking with me these years after even when I quit that particular comic long ago.
