My second tattoo, from a video game. Sorry about the shinyness, I only got it finished yesterday.



I had been looking into getting a visible tattoo for a few years but hadn't really found anything that was just right, until I played Mirror's Edge. I knew from the moment I saw the tattoo on Faith's arm that my mind wouldn't let me rest until I got it inked on my body, haha. Admittedly, it's not the best design to put on your arm since it's pretty unforgiving on any natural curves and twists of your body, but I'm willing to deal with that since I got the picture I wanted, where I wanted it. :) I've seen quite a few other people with the same design or an adaption as well on different parts of the body, a shame none of them have posted here.

Anyway, this is the first piece of a long term sleeve project, though I don't have specific details planned for it yet. I'm tempted to extend the design with more similar  "circuit board" blocks and lines, but for now I'm just going to enjoy this one and the fact I don't have to spend hours with a nasty cling film wrapped around my arm anymore, haha.

The job took only about 3 hours, and I got it done at World of Tattoos in Middlesex, UK.

Nice ink, but I have to say I like your icon more. One of these days I need to get a Comix Zone tattoo. such a great game.

Yeah! I can't remember the last time I would've enjoyed a 2D platformer as much as Comix Zone.

3 hours isn't too bad for all the individual blocks and the way the curve and such!
