Why? It fits Eve's "new" direction very well.

Mmm. Thats what I've heard lots of people say about some of the most amazing and intricate coloured arm frescos I have ever seen. If you hate cars, not even an e-type jag will move you.

I would never get the same tattoo as Vitt, I'm a fan of simple symbology and shape when it comes to tattoos, hence my choice of the minmatar and sebiestor logos in black, standalone. But to call it ugly...thats a stretch.

Heres an ugly eve tattoo.

I actually kind of dig the artwork style. Not the sort of thing Id get put on me forever though.

But hey if your happy with it then congrats and I hope you enjoy it.

Edit: amazing tatt compared to the freshly done dumbledore on the bottle shop owners arm I saw the other day. With matching harry on the shoulder...

Its a unique style tbh and actually looks nice. I'm more with Sir Substance and go for more simplistic symbolic tats, but thats just personal opinion really. Though honestly I could never understand "sleeve" tattoos. While they look interesting up close, but from afar they look horrible.

I agree.

Impossible waist line. Check. Disproportionate bust size. Check. Disproportionate rears. Check. And that's not even the worst of it.

Check out the chin on the Lolita doll on the right. WTF. Also, the Gallente shield is pretty uneven/not straight in its lines... I hope you paid the price of a Happy Meal for this.

Where I'm from people put their heart & soul into their work; this is some cheap facsimile of a man trying to grasp at his own masculinity and coming up empty handed.

Not to be too harsh and one sided, it's cool that you're willing to have such convictions about Eve Lol

I assumed it was induced by the necessity of twisting his waist to hold the camera.

I know of people who've been married and divorced twice in the space of time some people have been playing this game. The median age for a first marriage that ends in a divorce is allegedly just shy of 8 years.

Same here, I have a (fairly) simple Biohazard symbol on my left shoulder (the same one that has a metal rod in it from a car accident). It has a bit of a 3d effect to make it unique, but overall.. simple = good.

When you get too complex, or try to be all "cool" with it (like putting mediocre porno barbies on it), it loses meaning. 3 years from now, you'll regret that tattoo. When you get married, you will be wanting to get another tattoo just to cover that one up.

Tattoos are meant as a form of PERMANENT self-expression. Anyone who gets a tattoo for any other purpose, or without the intention of something being permanent, is an idiot. Yes, your convictions about EVE are strong right now. But think back to 20 years ago... nobody would even consider the scope and depth of EVE as it is right now. That was pure science fiction. 20 years from now, I can guarantee that EVE won't exist, and I can also guarantee that you will regret that tattoo.

That actually doesn't look half bad.

The crest needs finishing though.

It looks nice, unfortunately being Gallente it's unbalanced.

I have the 3 Amarr bloodline symbols on my arms, and got similar responses when I posted them on the forums. At the end of the day as long as you're happy with your tattoo then that's all that matters.

I'm still just as pleased with mine now as I was when they were first done. The sky didn't fall, EVE is still here and I'm still playing.. the reasons behind me wanting them are still the same, and still remind me of why I had them done in the first place.

So kudos to you, I look forward to seeing the end result, and as someone else said, welcome to the club Big smile

Speaking purely from a design standpoint, cropping is fail. Finish their legs. It will improve things significantly.

Thankyou for the props.
As to the various comments, yes it doesn't look straight as i am kinda twisted so i could take the picture.
My waistline is 21 inches, hardly a huge gut.
I wont regret it, i love the styling, i also love EVE.

I have many tattoos, some are more geeky than this Eve one, but they all have been done artistically, with care and attention to detail.

What I never seem to understand is why people take tattoo's for these kind of things. Try to explain what Gallente is to someone when 20, 30 or 40 years have passed. But well maybe it is just a lack of my mind not being open enough.

Anyways if you are happy and stay happy, I will be happyBig smile
