Possible C&C tattoo

[TheBlackOut 7]

I've been considering a tattoo ever since I've turned 18. I don't find them too appealing but it wouldn't be horrible to have a small one on my upper arm of a little symbol that's a representative of my nerdiness. I've considered the Half Life symbol or the TF2 icon but why not pay my respects to my favorite video game series and what really drove my interest into video games, Command and Conquer?

 

I've been thinking of what I'd want to get a tattoo of from C&C and I think I'm leaning towards the GDI icon.. but I want some ideas thrown out there, etc.

Get the Nod scorpion instead.... much cooler

 

Can't say I'm a fan of tattoos to be honest, think of what it will look like when your an old man pushing 70 or 80.

I've also thought about it, it definitely would cooler in the sense that people that haven't played the game might like it too. I could get both..

 

And I don't think I'll really care what my aging tattoos look like when I'm that old, haha. And I'd probably get rid of a tattoo around 40 anyways.

If I were you, I'd get both. As for the nerd factor, meh at least they're be half original. So many people get those generic tats that are so meh.

 

I wouldn't worry about what it looks like in 70 years time, the tech to remove them is quite impressive now. So will only get better with time.

One of these would be pretty cool:

 

Or you could go super-retro with the original logo:

My idea: don't. It may be original, but it's nerdy and maybe you won't be into C&C anymore in like five years, and you're stuck with this **** on your arm.

 

Also, colored tattoos usually suck.

Indeed, if you do get a tat just get some black line art.

Sounds cool. But just some advice; keep it small and with thin lines and no colors. (you might wan't to "overwrite" it someday).

Left mid wrist would be an appropriate spot.

Hell.. you might even get it sponsored by EA? (An energy drink company called CULT payed people a whole bunch for getting their logo tattooed here in Denmark).

I know you like GDI more, but I think the Scorpion looks way cooler. I think you should do both though. This is the ultimate loyalty.

[TheBlackOut 7]

And I'm leaning towards both GDI and Nod.. Nod on my left, GDI on my right. But I don't know what GDI looks the best. Nod doesn't change too much throughout the games but GDI does.. Hmmm. The C&C3 one doesn't look bad, though, but the TD looks nice too..

I'll always hold the older C&Cs in my heart so I don't really see the love for them dissapating. C&C4 made me sad and the recent C&Cs really aren't in the "loved" category but I still hold C&C up as what got me into video games in general. It sucked a lot of time in when I was a kid.

 

And yea, I wasn't planning on getting a colored, just some black lines and outlines. Nothing too elaborate.

I might have to think about that, but on the wrist I'd be afraid I might not be able to hide it easily by wearing just a t-shirt or something.

Heh I've always thought about getting a GDI and Nod tattoo. One for each shoulder.

 

Also TS logos all the way. No others can compare.

[recover 2]

I wouldn't do it. It may be cool now but in like 10 years you might think to yourself "This tattoo does not suit me anymore".

Consider getting something else, like a necklace with the GDI/Nod logos. It shows your affection in a similar way, and you can take it off like a pair of shoes.

[Malevolence 6]

A Nod tattoo makes more sense than a GDI.

 

Anyways, I personally don't really recommend tattoos. That's my two cents.

But getting custom necklaces or learning how to make them is a paiiin.

 

I'll be considering it and after school I'll decide. But if I am going through with it, Nod TS on my left, GDI TS on my right. Upper arms me thinks.

And you're saying that getting a tattoo won't hurt?

Just remember that this is not easily reversible.

[Troopzor 5]

personally I was thinking of getting a tattoo of an Eagle and a scorpion locked in combat. It's both nerdy and awesome!

[Inferno 22]

That's a better idea, because it'll still be awesome even if you don't like C&C anymore

[Renamon 0]

My suggestion.

 

This one might look good as a medal if you got a uniform or somethin'.

 

One more cause meh. GDI logo shaped like the general geographical feature of the South-east Asian region.

[Inferno 22]

If anything, you should do ren's third logo tbh.

[Sonic 296]

Someone else has a similar idea.....
