Planning a new tattoo, you should weigh in.
 

So, gamingforce at large, I am planning my next tattoo. I'm thinking I'm going to go for a tribute to my favourite genre, film noir. I don't have a lot of things I'm locked into. Sam Spade, Tracer Bullet and Jessica Rabbit all make the cut, but other than that I'm pretty wide open. This is either going to be a full sleeve, a thigh sleeve or a back piece, so there will be lots of room.

So, I look to you, Gamingforce. Who of the greats deserves the cut? The wife from Dark City, all smoky and sexy? Bogey in Casablanca? The whole thing is going to be black and white with shots of colour (blue eyes, red lips, a blue dress etc). What iconic noir sex and smoke would you include?

whatever it is, it better involve people wearing hats, and somebody shooting somebody else or brandishing a gun.

Additional Spam:
Actually it should tell a little story, instead of just being homages to the greats. You can HAVE the greats in there, but they need to be doing something noir-ish. Like, wearing hats or brandishing guns, or getting away in one of those sweet olde-tyme cars.

Get a Chicago Typewriter on your inner forearm. It'll wreak of shiznits.

You should find a way to make Jessica Rabbit into a tribal tattoo.

Skip the middleman, bypass the douche supplier and go right to the source.

Skip the bullshit and realize that barbed wire is, in no way, tribal. I would personally beat the shit out of anyone who thinks so, if I were so lucky as to meet such a loser. Then, I would get head from their girlfriend.

Wait, are you telling me barbed wire ISN'T tribal? I'm shocked. I'm beyond shocked. I'm surprised, even.

No, wait, I'm shocked. Please. Tell me more, o guru of tattooing.

And then explain how tribal isn't as tired and douchy as barbed wire.

Honestly.

Attention. Rapt. Etc.

Play the stupidity card. Why not. Tribalectic symbology renders a direct reference to a tribal affiliation. Since you're an unoriginal ass wipe, you have no point of reference to how utterly oblivious you are toward tribalism. You see nonsense in a magazine and you deem it exotic. In reality, you're a piece of tool shit. It isn't rocket zoology. It never was and never will be. Use your super-cool, imaginary mod power and turn this post into something flowery.

On your lower back, natch.

Why would I change this beautiful piece of prose to anything else? Clearly I was actually going to get a barbed wire tattoo, and even more than that, I clearly think barbed wire tats are the height of awesome. I certainly don't know anything about ink, and certainly not about the tribalist revival of the early 90's that started in SoCal and spread out from there. I certainly haven't been exposed to traditional tattooing from the Maori through the Japanese techniques over the years. And I mean, you are clearly so much more wise than I am in the ways of body modification. Please, spread your wisdom further and tell me all about neo-tribalism and the meaning behind it all.

Because I have no idea. Really. Continue. Also, all my tattoos are tribal or flash. You got me. I have six different flaming hearts surrounded by barbed wire with tribal wings in the background.

Good catch.

Hi, Lizeris.

My tattoos have scary ass demons, swords and wings and shit, you should get something like that.

You're sure killed me with kindness. Knocked me dead, even. You are skilled. Have you considered scarification? This is truly the height of body modding. People will know you mean business when they see that you've taken a razor blade to your skin in a systematic fashion. There is so much you can do with it. The flaming-heart-razor-wire thing is deader than dead.

You are just absolutely dead set on not getting it, aren't you Lizeris.

I get it. I'm even playing along.

Your verbiage is entrapping. So I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't, and you're calling me damned. If hallow rhetoric is the name of the game, why not just let me play? Sorry. I don't have any viral jpgs to compensate for my minuscule vocabulary. I'm trying to play nice. If my help isn't appreciated, lot's of luck reviving this place.

I think you should get a Muppet Babies tattoo, Deni.

Just tattoo a fedora directly onto your scalp. Complete with subdermal steel hatband to complete the illusion.

You know, I haven't even SEEN that hat since I got home. I must have tossed it somewhere in my basement. I do, however, enjoy your idea. I don't even really like hats that much, but that fucking sun was hot.

Tattoos are for pussies and people who work on whaling ships.

Real men roll themselves in gasoline, light themselves on fire and then have their friends throw water on them. Burn scars are where its at, man.

Bumped this thread to BE REAL, man.
