Tattoos are becoming the “norm” nowadays and I feel like they make each person even more unique. They “raise your value” so to speak lol.
It would be awesome to see all the artwork my fellow Pokemon collectors have acquired over the years! Post your pictures!
These are mine. Im hoping to finish up my sleeve in a year or so (not looking forward to the elbow though… Lol)
p.s if you reside in Southern California, I highly recommended Jeremiah Barba! He did my back and arm piece. Great work, great guy.
Dear god Jeremy, those are insane! I’m always amazed when I see Pokemon collectors with crazy tattoos (the1whoknocks89 has some cool ones) as it’s always a little bit of a shocker to see someone who could easily pass for a biker gang member collecting good old Pokemon cards.
I totally understand that I’m stereotyping here, and I personally think it’s cool to have so many different types of people into this hobby. When someone says “Pokemon card collector” I don’t think anyone thinks of a ripped dude with skull and snake tattoos and a half sleeve. Tease me about my hobby now, don’t ya.
As for ink myself, I don’t got none. Just turned 18 so maybe that will be changing. The idea that has stuck with me the longest is probably a half maple leaf/half star on my shoulder. I’m a dual citizen of the US and Canada, which I think is really cool and gives me sort of a duty to understand both cultures.
Haha thanks man!
biker gang member on the outside, nerdy derp on the inside haha
i mi got my arm and chest piece right when I turned 18 and my back piece this year (21). Once you get one, you gotta have more. Like most things, it’s addicting haha ;p
sick ink dude. Always thought about getting a shoulder piece done but i like wearing singlets and it wouldnt exactly be viewed as “positive” working in a school.
Stole some pictures of Dan’s leg off FaceBook. It has to be shown. Also asked him to post. Hopefully he has some good extra shots he can add and responds.
I believe there is some Magic: The Gathering in there as well. The Big Three TCGs. Or if there isn’t, there should be since that’s all Dan plays these days.
When I was in my early 20s I was in a popular motorcycle group in California and EVERYBODY had tats and piercings. All the girls and guys. Being the non conformist that I am I decided then to NEVER get a tattoo or piercing and to never allow any of my kids to get them either lol.
I didnt want to follow the crowd. Plus I figured it would look funky as my skin aged. That one I was right about cause I’ve seen many of my old cohorts recently and, let’s just say, it’s not pretty;)
Pretty dam awesome, I love the skull / viper the most.
I’m a fan of tattoo’s, but my family would kill me if I got one! I go to many hardcore music events, metal, deathcore, scream-o, emo etc… most people have tat’s except me >.<
If I did do it, I would go all out for my body and arms; and design my own work; as I have an art background. But always in the back of my mind is what Gary mentioned, aged skinned…
FOr me the main reasons I don’t do it:
Corporate work environment
Aging skin
Family would be super pissed off
Definitely admire your tattoos though man, very epic, and jelly.
lol.
haha
lol jk
