fatwoul said:and the trend for Japanese text is seen by some as a little passe, not to mention dangerous (unless you are fluent enough in the language in question to be sure the tattooist isn't writing something mean about you lol).
Yes, exactly--we've had quite the discussion about it over at http://boards.avalonhill.com/showthread.php?t=24595. You've even been mentioned (admittedly by me and not by name), so don't let all those gamer-geeks down...scotrace said:The original art is by Andrew Bawidamann, an artist in Columbus, Ohio. About two hours from me.

I know Shane Morton.
volatile said:That is *not* a tattoo needle! Tattoo machines use very small needles grouped into a comb shape:
More needles for fatter lines, fewer for details. Close together for solid colour, wider apart for shading.
