Considering

[benlehman]

I'm thinking about getting a tattoo... Probably wouldn't be until I got back to the states, because I trust Chinese tattoo parlors not at all.

What I'm thinking of getting is one of the little star-flakes from Polaris on a shoulder, or possibly the figure from the front cover of the book. The idea would be to get something small for each game I complete, as I complete them.

Thoughts?

You mean you don't want to get HIV C with a side order of hepatitis? ;¬)

Other than that, cool.

Now, there are lots of Chinese guys with tatoos. I'm sure not *all* of them contracted AIDS.

But yeah, basically.

I like the star-flake idea better than an actual figure, but I'm overall more for symbols.

I've always wanted to have two griffins on my back; a live, dignified one, and a robotic one. It would be my version of the yin-yang, with one side being alive, the other non-living, one side emotional, the other cold, one side violent, the other peaceful, etc.

I see a column of small symbols going down your arm (well, an arm) and it looks pretty cool. No particular reason for you not to do this.

"...they say he's the 'game man'. He's got a tattoo for each job he completes. If you cross him, he turns you into a game..."

Lehman, the myth, the legend begins...

I will note that "game man" scans to "gay man." But see below.

I will be equally impressed if you reach myth/legend status by that road as well. I don't discriminate- all paths are equally valid in the pursuit of the Way :P

Do it on your fists, like "LOVE" on one, and "HATE" on the other, except we'll a Polaris stat, Weariness. So "WEAR" on the left and "INES" on the right and...

FUCK! I hate tatoos.

No, he'll have "game" on one fist, and "play" on the other. It'll look hella hardcore when he rolls dice, or holds cards.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Which clearly means that we need to redesign the game with coherent rules.

You should get on your chest/stomach "2TAC THUGG LIFE" letter style:
"NARR LIFE"

I too have considered getting a tattoo, but most public bathhouses in Japan will not allow people in with noticable tattoos, so I'd have to be clever and come up with something that's:

1) Small
2) Could be even unreasonably explained away as a birthmark (ie a large moon and half moon side by side could be done, but not a dragon coiling around Emmanuel Kant).

a dragon coiling around Emmanuel Kant

Andy, if you get this tattoo, I will give you oral sex whenever you want.

Andy: a dragon coiling around Emmanuel Kant

Ben: Andy, if you get this tattoo, I will give you oral sex whenever you want.

I won't go that far, but dang if that wouldn't be a brilliant tattoo!
