Speaking as a Christian... what the
fuck, man. You're gonna put a stupid 1980s cartoon on the same level as the Crucifixion?
Well, in some kinds of way, Goku
did sacrifice his life for the sins of humanity in DBGT (at least for
some people's sins).
Of course I am not being serious.
But your belief in a religion can sometimes be as strong in your beliefs in your idols.
It's in the end the same thing you do, you worship a human being/God/a cartoon.
I am religious myself, so don't take it wrong. Don't shoot me! 
No more time for Daizex. Goodbye folks!

I would. Not anything cannon though, but things relating to the stories that came from Dragonball that've made up the bulk of my creative life for the last... it's almost a decade now.
The first one I want and the one I've had designed in my head for ages is my muse Lute's wings just on my shoulderblades. There's a Dragonball connection but it goes a lot deeper than that too. The second I'd want is something relating to a fellow none of you know named Akutenshi Discord, and that's possibly even a longer story.
Basically, they're technically Dragonball but they mean a whole hell of a lot more to me than just a tv show, and they've continued to be important to me long enough that they not the kind of thing I'll be regretting any decade soon.

Whoa, just because I have them in a tatoo together, doesn't mean I hold them at the same level. It's just to show two different things about me.

Eh, just ignore him. He's probably just mad it wasn't (A) Gohan being impaled with said crucifix or (B) Chichi using it for "fun".

Meh, why not? The Crucifixion is going to look pretty stupid tattooed on one's arm, anyway (except if it's in black, but then it looks too plain). Might as well destroy all seriousness by adding a carton dragon with it.

You sick person.
To keep one's religion so superficial that you keep it's symbols holier than your belief in God himself,
that's being sick.
Now back on track on the topic.
Other than the last one I posted of the Saiya-jin symbol, noone looks good enough to put permanently on someone's skin.
If they would be nicely done, I wouldn't think that much about it.
I mean, even if you put cartoon characters as a tattoo, there are worse things (like some people putting naked chicks on their bodies as tattoos).
But again, I would never put a tattoo on my body. Even if it's something personal or a reminder or something, my mind is enough to remind me or to keep my personal stuff inside.
No more time for Daizex. Goodbye folks!

Oh. my. god. How can
you criticize Rocketman for his hatred of Gohan and love for Chi-Chi? He's far less annoying with his "obsession" than you are with yours. At least he only brings those up when they're in discussion, you bring up Videl in every single one of your posts.

Yeah, 'cuz hating a cartoon character and bashing him forever in EACH THREAD where he is mentioned is so not annoying.
But Chi Chi is still hot.
And Videl too.
Both deserve to be mentioned in each and every post.

To be fair, this topic is just another instance in a long line of them that shows how over-zealous Christians (or anyone with a religion) are when it comes to defending their religion.

Actually, I think the only reason why you dislike Rocketman is because of the his hatred toward Gohan. Because that's the only time he comes remotely close to acting like a dickhead.
*Ahem*
On topic, this basically summarizes my thoughts on such tattoos:

Rocketman is usually funny about it though. Saiyanavenger is always like "OMG VIDEL, RIGHT?"
I agree that Chi-Chi is hot.

Of course Christians are going to defend their religion. Are you kidding me? Why WOULDN'T they? Are you saying that you don't defend your beliefs with devotion? Because by simply stating that, you're stating your belief that Christians and other religious people shouldn't defend theirs.

Nope. He's just an asshole about everything. And of course, he gets away with it because of his oh-so-high postcount. If it were me, I'd be banhammered immediately.
He's never shown me one ounce of respect, even before this incident, and thus, he'll get none from me.
Saiyanavenger is always like "OMG VIDEL, RIGHT?"
If you're gonna diss me or my preferences, at least get my name right. I mean, it's not THAT hard. Well, unless, of course, you're a moron.

From my experience, this isn't a forum that judges your worth by your postcount. It usually flies with Rocketman because he makes us laugh. Yes he does come off as a bit abrasive and grumpy at times but it's worth it... Y'know, for the lulz.

Something has always bothered me about that bit. He wants a tattoo of Bowser from "Super Mario Bros. 2," but Bowser wasn't even in SBM2. Wart was the bad guy from SMB2... Just a nerd nitpick.
Then again, the Japanese "Super Mario Bros. 2" does have bowser.

Which doesn't explain how I got away with it that allowed my post count to get this high*, but just continue on with your persecution complex there, champ.
