“Do you think my tattoo is cool?” No, I don’t. There are no cool tattoos. “Check out my sleeve!” Oh god ew.

Tattoos themselves are stupid. Doubly so if it’s some media IP. “I put Batman on my body!” “Look at this image of Goku on my calf!” I can’t think of many things I’d want to do less than that.

There are a few narrow exceptions. Chances are yours isn’t one of them.

If you personally like tattoos, fine. I’m not saying nobody should get tattoos because I don’t like them. I’m stating my opinion that tattoos are stupid, and I am stating it here because it is probably not a popular opinion.

      Hey you know what would be kind of sick actually? To get the time portal from Skyward Sword.

      I mean I wouldn’t get it personally, because I could never commit to permanent marks on my body. I can barely commit to hanging a painting on my walls because I know those holes will stay there if I want to take the painting down.

      Still though, you should do it. 😎

      Ocarina of Time was the first game I completed as a kid. Have a lot of memories of talking through puzzles with my Dad who told me about the Zelda on NES. I’ve played basically all Zelda game since then.

      But I do get it and it’s your body so your choice alone. Don’t let an internet person to talk you in or out of anything. Telling people who don’t like your tattoos to fuck off is a normal part of having them. If it makes you happy that’s all that matters.

      Having said all that, I do stand by my comment. I think that is a cringey immature idea. Even on a more practical level, you don’t know what Nintendo will do in the future, do you really want to see a brand advertising logo on your body if they do something to piss you off? Lawsuits against those who use emulators and starting a patent war with Palworld? Idk…

        I do have a friend who met a politician who agreed with his core beliefs back in the day. They went on a bender and ended up getting matching tattoos. Fast forward to today, and the politician did a 180, as many of them do, and went into the deep end. I joked with my friend about his tattoo, and his response was “I am getting it laser removed, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll take it off with a cheese grater”.

        So, I really do get what you mean.
