Z Tattoo

Post by saiyanprincess » Wed Apr 22, 2009 8:59 am

I was just randomly searching google for images of Vegeta, and up popped a guys arm with a massive tattoo of Vegeta. I'm not sure whether it's real, Or if somebody pretty artistic has painted it upon themself.

Okay then, So this brings me to think... Would any of you dare (Or would be nutty enough) to get a tattoo or symbol of an anime character or series? Or is this just going to far!
... Personally I would need to be completely sedated before entering the room, And then I would be kind of frightened of being permanently marked with an image of a dragonball or something.

What are your thoughts on this? (P.S Sorry for the large image, Could anybody explain how you can down-size them!? I have no idea. :( )

I probably would never get a Dragon Ball themed tat (or any other kind of tat) because I don't think that is something I'd want on my body for the rest of my life. If I was to a DBZ tattoo It'd have to be Mr. Toriyama drawing it. I'd want it to be perfect.

I completely respect your opinion, and I respect you. I enjoyed discussing this with you, even if I don't completely agree.

I considered it, but I wouldn't want it to be a character, it would have to be a symbol or something so no one else would know what it was but me. :lol:

I would, if there was a point where the option of getting a tattoo removed was an easy one.

I don't like the idea of having something forever.

But I have seriously considered getting the 4 Star Ball or something... maybe Goku. But it would have to be a very small one. I hate big tattoos. I also want to get a Sonic the Hedgehog. :D

Maybe one of the symbols, like the Kame Turtle Symbol, or the Kaio one, or maybe even the Saiyan Royal Family one, but not a character.

A friend of mine has the Autobots symbol from Transformers on his back. It's off-center, probably six inches square. I knew another guy who had a full-color Harley Quinn from Batman TAS on his "sleeve" area.

... I'll flaunt my nerdity with the best of them, but what a couple of retards. There will come a time when you'll need to prove your maturity to someone, be it a spouse, a boss, your children... and they've ruined that.

I find it funny how he literally spelled "Saiyan" (サイヤン) instead of "Saiya-jin" (サイヤ人), which translates to "Saiyan". Oops... I guess he's stuck with that forever. :wink:

To quote Daniel Tosh...

"My friends love tattoos. I'm like, are you kidding me? If you're gonna get something written on your body, get the words 'I'm dumb', that's it. That way in ten years when you're wondering, 'Why'd I get this?' you can go, 'Oh yeah, me dumb, not talk, hurts earballs.' My friend's like, 'It's an artistic expression.' I'm like, 'Wow, really? Because it looks like a butterfly above your cooter.'"

I could have sworn that the article said an arm! :lol: Looking closer, I can see a big stinky white sock...
As for the guy that has that huge tattoo on his back... Ouch... He must be slighty obsessed to the point of being unhealthy. On a side note - I think if a guy wanted to get my name tattooed on his body, It would be much more romantic to get the seven dragonballs! :P How cool would that be!

I can safely say, I really wouldn't want to get a tattoo... I think before I got a tattoo Goku would, And he really hates needles! Just the thought of ink being etched into my skin is a little off-puttish as well as seeing some of my work colleagues when they have plastic bag like material clinged over, and blood coming from the scratches... :? I just don't really see the point in wanting to voluntarily scar your body.

I wonder if Vegetto Ex has a secret dragonball z tattoo?! :D

Here's a resized version:

I know that some image hosting sites will host your images and resize them for you... but honestly the best thing you could possibly do is install Fastone Image Viewer. It lets you do sooooo much awesome stuff, from resizing to rotating to adding drop-shadows to thousands of other things, and it's FREE!

Too far. The only Dragonball tatoo I would ever get would be one of the Saiya-jin royal symbol(but black, instead of red) since it's one of those things where the only people that would recognize what it is are the people that won't think I'm a freak for having it.

Well, we have more :lol:

Image

It was in a gallery of Tattoo artist, so I guess it's real.


Image

The guy claims he did it himself and that it's permanent. Well I don't know if I can trust that.

http://nelsonmandingo.deviantart.com/ar ... o-44467042

Looks a little strange on the face. I don't know if it's permanent but it looks so, if you regard the incomplete blue BG coloring.


http://nursenikki.deviantart.com/art/Dr ... o-90662067

This one is most likely real. You can clearly see the skinlines under and the girl claims that she got it at a tattooist.


Would I get a Dragonball tattoo? Hellz no.
No more time for Daizex. Goodbye folks!

I guess it would be cool to have the 5-Star Ball Pattern somewhere on my body.

I always liked how it's formed almost like a house instead of the standard X format for things with 5's on them.

Are no tattoo artists capable of drawing a face without making it look like the person/character's packing an extra chromosome or five?

My father has tattoos and he only regrets one of them. He often encourages me to get a tattoo or piercing because "its an expression of one's self" or something like that I guess. And yet he constantly warns me about picking the right one. The whole "Scarred for life" thing you know. For a long time I wanted to be a tattoo artist, which is one of the reasons why I call myself Scarz. But I changed my mind.

I'm not going to lie, I always wanted a really sick looking DBZ related tat but I'm to scared to get my skin inked. I can deal with pain but I'm not ready yet to deal with the shame...Hee-hee, that rhymed.

If I did get the guts one day to get inked I'll probably pick the Kame Turtle symbol. But I prefer if it was small (so I can hide it when needed too) Not sure which part of the body I'll put though.
