As the title says If you was to get one what would it be ?

Im going for a retro/Gaming section (sad ? who cares! ) part sleeve thing, to start it im getting the space invaders layout out ( just the aliens ) around my top fore-arm, however yet to find a decent screen shot to take in to show the guy what I actually want, im a terrible drawer even if its just pixel art lol.

I may add a random Dwarf fortress small tattoo and i was looking for ideas.

Getting a dwarf fortress tattoo in a highly visible part of your body would probably make for an awkward and embarrassing conversation piece unless the only people you talk to are geeks. God forbid you get one on a part that's not highly visible, which narrows the list of people you're going to have to explain it to considerably and makes the act of explaining it much, much worse.

Just get a red smiley face on your butt or something. in the Curses style or something. Not that hard to explain away. It's what I would get. Swap out the color for whatever your chosen profession is.

Why would you have a tattoo on your butt? The only people who you'd intentionally show that to are people you're trying to offend, your doctor, and someone you're sleeping with. None of those situations would be improved if my butt had a winning smile.

Im not following what would be embarrising ? Maybe 10 years ago but these days everyones a gamer well most people I know are, from what i find its the odd tattoos that get the most recognition and are great conversation openers lol.

Id agree though no idea why you would want it on your arse!

If i was to get one on my arse it would read " if your reading this im either drunk or dead, PTO "

I think the obvious choice would be a dwarf - ie, a boxy smiley face.

Basically something that looks like the second panel here: http://drawception.com/viewgame/LbCYamX8Yk/urist-mcvampire/... although probably without the fangs.

Definitely go for the smiley face, extra points if you get some text under it:

"This is a masterwork dwarf tatto, the dwarf is striking a menacing pose."

Or something along those lines :>

Look, I like DF. Almost all of us do. It's an interesting experiment into game development.

But it definitely isn't "permanently and thematically alter your skin" good.

I'd get one of these.

Except with Toady's face.

Just get a ring of blocky gray c's around your arm.

Gah, ninja'd!

[Kilroy the Grand]

Get a sleeve tattoo, at your shoulder would be aboveground buildings, then soil layers, then stone, then caverns, then magma, then hell.

Have dwarves mining through the layers and dying horribly.
