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.

Here's some of the many tattoos thins one guy has:

Oh wow, Thanks! Your such a star :P I shall send you a virtual kiss hehe. I'm just now checking out that programme, It looks absolutely brilliant... Hopefully now when I post images they won't look so ridiculously huge taking up all your computer screens.

Man all those tattoos! That's one very... dedicated... (Should the word be) fan... I must say some of the images do look pretty darn decent. I guess in fifty years to come when he goes all wrinkley he could claim that Piccolo is Kami. :P Not sure what he could say about all the rest of the characters. I think somebody should recommend him to get a huge tattoo of the Kami symbol on his back!

Really though, the pain that guy must have gone through would have been incredible. I wonder if he just strips down for cosplays? Hehe.

A note to SSJ Rambo: Wow... This programme looks brilliant! Thanks again! :wink:

Yeah, don't think I'd ever get a DB tat. I love Dragon Ball and all, but a tat is something that you're stuck with forever and I'm not sure I want a symbol or a whole character from my favorite anime series. I got my first tattoo last year and I haven't regretted it at all, but it's something I will always believe in, so that helps.

I love just about every little thing Toriyama has drawn in Dragon Ball, so unless he himself can turn me into a living, breathing, giant Dragon Ball tattoo, I for sure will not be getting a DB tattoo. I wouldn't be able to live with just one or two characters or icons, I'll be running back and forth to a parlor until I have every DB character on my body, then I'll miss the way my body was without tattoos and go through laser surgery.

YEY FOR LASER SURGERY! :D

The idea of wearing non-removable art doesn’t really appeal to me. If I feel compelled to advertise my interest in Dragon Ball (and why not, really? I’m not ashamed or anything), I would much rather have it on my clothes than on my skin. My mood changes too much for me to be cool with the same thing every single day.

But, at the same time, if I had the opportunity to get Toriyama-designed tattoos—or, next best: an artist who could imitate his style very well—and they were discreet, I probably wouldn’t mind. Maybe a Vegeta and Boo head on either wrist. But nothing HUGE. As someone who wants to act, that would hinder casting considerations for me, but even if it didn’t, it would still mean hours of makeup (see: Angelina Jolie), which is not something I would want to tack on to an already lengthy shoot process.

At 6 Flags about 10 years ago I got a tattoo of SS Goku. 10 years after that I went to 6 Flags again and they had the same Goku tattoo. LOL :lol:

No thank you, my extreme fanboyism shifts between shows far too often for me to embed something I enjoy on my skin.

I want to get a "M" tattooed on my forehead









I'm totally kidding, I would never get any sort of tattoo. IF I were to get a DB related on Id go with a symbol like a lot of other people said.

I'm not big on tats, but I have thought about it. And I have a design that I would like to have.

Being as I'm a christian, I would have a cross first, then, I would have Shen Long weaving around it, with all 7 Dragonballs placed around the entire thing. Then, at the bottom, I would have a little banner with my name in both English and Japanese.

I'll try to draw one up and upload it later for you folks to see. :wink:

I was thinking of getting one for DBZ but nothing crazy like these. If anything I would get the 4 star ball or just the Z that goku wore on his Gi.

Nice! I was trying to draw on earlier, but I kept screwing up Shen Long's face. :?

I want to get Karin tattooed on my ass.

Not a small one, either.

The tattoo, I mean.

As long as you are a female, your virtual kiss is gladly accepted! And no problem, hope it comes in handy! They also have some image capturing software that works great!
Wow, that almost exactly what I would get if I had to get a DB tattoo.

Hey, check out these two:

As a Japanese, I hate tattoo and people got it. It is just disgusting, silly and reminds me of Yakuza.
By the way, isn't this "Fan-Created Works"?

In the Edo era, criminals were tattooed, and now it's a sign of Yakuza.
In addition, most of Japanese poeple think that hurting own body that he was given by parents is moralistically bad.
Some poeple are even still anti-piercing (me, too). This is due to the influence of Confucianism, I think.

Speaking as a Christian... what the fuck, man. You're gonna put a stupid 1980s cartoon on the same level as the Crucifixion?
