the lolstika was a good one.

I also like the triforce one, very cool, OoC was probably one of the most influential games in my life.

Unfortunately I'm conflicted on tattoos in general, I personally don't believe in permanently marking or modifying my body, so that means no piercings, tattoos, and if the choice were mine no circumcision. However I respect and admire people willing to get tattoos for things that mean something to them.

I had a strong urge to get the characters 忠犬ハチ公, which means "chuuken hachikoo" or "the faithful dog hachiko"

Basically Hachikoo was an Akita Inu that was so faithful to its owner that he would come and meet him at the train stop every day. One day the dog's master died, and did not return home on the train, yet he still came to the train station every day at the same time, for the next 9 years, waiting for his owner.

I always found consolation in my pets when I felt that people had failed me. A dog has never betrayed his owner, ever, and even writing about this makes me tear up because the bond between a man and his dog goes deeper than the one he shares with a child, or a wife, or a friend, because it is completely unconditional.

I feel that the loyalty that dogs have for their owners is nothing short of poetic.

Instead of getting the tattoo I decided to just volunteer at an animal shelter and ignore the cats.

I wrote that to myself as a note, and the tat artist transcribed it to my wrist. It's a piece of the litany against fear, in italian.

If I did it over again, I'd have kept it in english. Maybe if I get it redone some day, I'll get it changed to english. As a lifeguard that sees lots of sun, sand, salt, and chlorine, it's fading quite a lot. but I like how it's weathering.

"I must not fear, fear is the mind killer."

It's a note to myself. And it's come in handy. Also, girls dig that line and I never have to tell them it's from a Sci-fi book.

To me, a nerdy tattoo should never look that way to an ordinary person. I'm a fan of classy stuff that has actual meaning, or intensely clever stuff. It should always be understated (if I wear a long-sleeve shirt or a watch, you'd never know it was there. it took my dad over a year to notice mine)
