Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

The level of tattoo knowledge in here is disappointing

[–]tomfiend 5 points6 points ago

It's always the same on Reddit. They're experts on regretting other people's decisions for them.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points ago

Yep, I'm so disappointed that 15 year old gamers don't know more about tattoos.

[–]Gengar0 4 points5 points ago

so that explains the herr derrs..

[–]RealShoppingCart 5 points6 points ago

I like how he's still on the computer.

[–]wruffx 5 points6 points ago

Does his arm look like its bending the wrong way to anyone else? I can't seem to orient this picture correctly in my head, so it looks like his arm is contorted into some horrible position.

Also, really cool tattoos. Anyone know the artist?

[–]pawsick 1 point2 points ago

It's slightly bent at the elbow and held slightly behind him. I tried it in a mirror because I obviously have no life. Uncomfortable for sure, but not impossible.

[–]SneakyFloorMop 5 points6 points ago

I always appreciate a really nice gaming tattoo, the detail in this one is amazing.

[–]penguinairforce 3 points4 points ago

Why the fuck is sonic collecting mushrooms

[–]RunningThatWay 2 points3 points ago

Want a Sonic tattoo now.

[–]Atrixer 2 points3 points ago

This post is on here every week...

[–]tomfiend 8 points9 points ago

Here comes the "omg good luck getting a job" posts. Saying that actually only serves to further the prejudice against those who chose to modify their body. I've never had a problem getting a job in my life and I have ink AND a silly haircut.

Dude, that is a wicked looking sleeve, the color work is fantastic. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Love A tattoo'd young man with a regular respectable job.

[–]Zeldr 12 points13 points ago

It's not him in the picture, just so you know.

[–]Crazyjoe04 -1 points0 points ago

I agree with you, and as true as what you say is, sadly the world doesn't work like this for everyone, sure you may be lucky to get a job, but there are many employers who would just straight up refuse employment to people with piercings and tattoos.

Sad and intolerant I know, but for some businesses appearance is everything.

[–]Armonster -2 points-1 points ago

and you get downvoted. why? I don't get it. Everything he says is pretty true.

[–]Gooberdo 0 points1 point ago

This.... Yes

[–]Game-Sloth -5 points-4 points ago

Yeah it might be fine if you want to deliver pizzas for the rest of your life. I work in the technical field and we would laugh at anyone that shows up like this. You represent the company, if you want to make a statement about yourself; look presentable and be articulate.

...only serves to further the prejudice against those who chose to modify their body

If you wear clown makeup, you should expect to be treated as one.

[–]tomfiend 0 points1 point ago

Sounds like you work for cunts. I have worked in a "technical field" also, a national company no less. I now work in finance for one of my country's big four banks, although I am currently in the interview process for another job in the same industry.

If you wear clown makeup, you should expect to be treated as one.

How about this, how about you judge someone based on the merit of their ability and not their appearance.

[–]Game-Sloth 0 points1 point ago

You could be the greatest surgeon in the world, but will have no respect you if you show up to the operating theater with Mario tattooed to your forehead.

Continue the disillusionment, believe the problem is the intolerance of others if it helps.

[–]braedizzle 3 points4 points ago

That's really going to suck in 5 years when he finishes college and tries to find a job..

[–]T352 0 points1 point ago

Also known as the karma sleeve.

[–]nerds-fuck-adaquetly 0 points1 point ago

oh this picture again

[–]TrentRader 0 points1 point ago

One tattoo pretty much summed my childhood

[–]HiteDesign 0 points1 point ago

mixing sega and nintendo... only gamers from the golden age of the 80's and early 90's know this is a serious no-no. It's like getting a bloods AND a crips tattoo. fail.

[–]kmad86 -4 points-3 points ago

But How long until it fades to shit

[–]pawsick 20 points21 points ago

You can touch up tattoos.

[–]Thelegassy 15 points16 points ago

With proper tattoo care it wont

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

She doesn't look like she spends a great deal of time in the sun so I'd guess a few decades?

[–]wormsaregood -2 points-1 points ago

Agreed. I'm not a huge sleeve fan at all

[–]anonymousHacker -3 points-2 points ago

It's also a repost.

[–]Mozzy 4 points5 points ago

Reposts? On r/gaming? My god, man!

[–]tamponlollypops -2 points-1 points ago

kinda tasteless and predictable.

[–]PNR_Robots -4 points-3 points ago

you must really like your video game eh?

[–]Junes2k -5 points-4 points ago

Tattoo win!

[–]dismal626 -2 points-1 points ago

His arm looks broken.

[–]lixtonpickles 1 point2 points ago

Wait, that's a guy?

[–]Borr -2 points-1 points ago

If we said dope.

[–]spgtothemax -2 points-1 points ago

Ruined only by the fact that sonic is right there.
