tatoo idea
So I have decided after a good bit of consideration, and I do believe I may get the Griever symbol as my first tatoo
If I'm honest, I'm not sure whether that's such a great idea. When people ask you what the meaning of that tattoo is 5 years down the track, will you be comfortable with saying it's inspired by a video game? Will you still like Final Fantasy as much as you do now? A tattoo is for life so you have to make sure you choose something that you won't get sick of and come to regret.
The Griever symbol is pretty cool (I assume you mean the one where it's like the lion's head on a cross) but it's very intricate for a first tattoo. If you're not wimpy about the pain, then I suppose it doesn't make a difference whether it goes on first or fifth, especially if you're set on getting it.
Other than that, best of luck with it. And pictures please if you do get it.
i agree with No-Nercy. I was all for getting a Griever tattoo but now, 3 years down the line i thank my lucky stars i didn't get it. There is a serious risk that you will regret it, Think really hard before deciding. Give yourself a year, 6 months at the least and see how you feel about it then. If you still want it then consider it
I did that and now i have a tatoo, and all though most the time i love it there are some times when i become very aware of the fact that its there forever now and i can't go back to having a clear canvas of skin lol

Wait 6 months, if you still want it then go get it
At least your not getting Zells tattoo.

This pretty much. Aside from that, as a man with a Superman tattoo on his back (not the traditional red and yellow "S" mind you) I can pass no judgement on the subject matter of your tattoo. It was several months between when I decided I wanted it done and when I did it though and I still don't regret it some 3-4 years later now, so give it some time to really think about it and mull it over before you commit. Taking a few months to think it over is a lot cheaper and less painful than fixing it later.Wait 6 months, if you still want it then go get it
Yeah, I'm not sure I'd want to go to a tattoo artist willing to do bad tribal on someone's face. That'd just be stupid.lol hopefully the tattooist would have enough of a moral compass to say "noooo" to that one!!
Putting aside the whole "It's a little dorky, are you sure you can commit to it?" tangent, I would consider maybe trying another, smaller tattoo as your first. That tattoo seems like it'd have to be somewhat large to get all of the details in, and as it would be detailed and dark, it would probably take a very long time. I dunno what your pain tolerance is - if it's high, then never mind! If it's not, then possibly think about it as your second?
Well at least we're not bad influences and saying, get drunk before you do it. Or yeah I totally dare you to.
And I do agree to wait and think about it. I've had this sketch, well a few, and I've been wanting to get them as tats for a while. I'm just not sure I would want it in permanent ink. I think it would be funner to get a tat that will last say 6 months to a year and have it wear off someday. That way I could always mix it up and get new ones.

I don't think the griever symbol would necessarily have to be really large. It couldn't be tiny like the star behind my sister's ear mind you, but it shouldn't have to be exactly huge. How much it hurt would depend as much on where they put it as the size and how filled in it is. To be honest though, the outline hurts more than colouring it in my experience.Putting aside the whole "It's a little dorky, are you sure you can commit to it?" tangent, I would consider maybe trying another, smaller tattoo as your first.

Yeah but its detailed so it couldn't be too small or it wouldn't work.
I found the pain came only on certain parts of the skin. I didn't like it when it went right in close to the spine but to the side of it was fine

Like I said, it couldn't be really tiny, but it wouldn't have to be huge to get all of the detail in.
And I agree with getting a tattoo right over the spine was quite painful, but that's how it goes. Anytime you get one over a spot with a lot of nerves that's quite sensitive it's going to hurt more.
Yeah, I'm gonna go with everyone and say really think long and goddamned hard before you decide to do this. If you still want it in 6 - 12 months, go for it ...
As for the pain and size; I also agree with Rye! Don't get something too big (especially something that's going to be all black O _ O) on a part of your body that's really bony or nerve-ey unless you're sure you can handle it. My first was on my inner forearm and is about the size of my fist and I was really taken aback by how painless it was. However, the most recent one I got (script across my collar bone [original, I know]) was painful as
; if I had gotten that one first I'm not sure if I could have handled it.
get it in henna and see how it works out. if it doesn't work out get the slash mark instead!! tell people that your a sword fighter that got his ass kicked
I like chocolate!! No matter what flavor you get, you can always taste the broken dreams!
~Dead people should stay dead, otherwise whats the point of killing them???
Well as far as nerd tattoos go Griever isn't so bad xD
Personally, I wouldn't do that because tattoos are just too permanent for me! I wonder if there's some temporary thing I could do that would last for about three months P:
