Do you think it is crazy to get a nes (or other system) game character tattoo?

Nope haha. I want to get my kids names and some other stuff on me, but didn't know if I could handle it as I'm phobic of needles and such. I got that tattoo as a test mostly, and a fire flower seemed neat. I am planning on adding more and sort of making a comic strip style sleeve if I can.

I don't think I could ever get a tattoo because they're both expensive and permanent, not to mention painful. But in theory I would like to have one, maybe of
Protoman, Mario or Toon Link or something.

That was what I feared as well. It does hurt, but it's completely manageable. It is nothing like a needle. It feels like they are using a cats claw to scratch something on to you.

I bet you can shoot fireballs with that arm now!

Personally I'd probably never get a tatoo. Being permanent, and being on my body are the two main problems I have with them. Also in Japan tatoos are not very practical and are still mostly used by criminals and yakuza. Not being able to go to onsen or certain hotels would be very inconvenient for me. If I'd ever get one it would have to be small enough that it can be easily hidden and on a part of the body not visible when wearing a short sleeved shirt or shorts.
