I generally agree with Johnstone about representing a great experience in your life. Even if it is only fleeting. I've never considered getting a COH tatoo, although it would probably be more fitting than any of my other ideas.

Facial tatoos are just not a good idea. As are tatoos that can't be completely covered. Not because they need to be hidden but because it looks bad when they are only peeking out from your waist band or whatever.

I think working in references to COH to a larger tattoo is a good plan, putting the hero star in the eye of a koi, the arachnos spider emblem is a really well done iconic spider, but I think most people would just think it was a spider unless they were knowledgeable of the mmo verse. In which case you share a knowing smile with that person and move on.

Personally, I'd go digging through the badges or power icons, to find somethig good. And there is no reason you can't make it your own. change the colors shapes and balance to make it your own and give it more meaning.

If you are a teacher you could use the mentoring badge. If you want something to represent your strength to overcome obstacles, hardship, loss, addiction, you can use the debt or damage badges to build a tattoo that has lots of meaning. If someone asks you can explain what meaning you gave it and ignore where it came from if you don't think that would make the right impression.

I haven't completely lost the desire to make this a back piece.


Be well, people of CoH.

my husband and I are considering a CoH tattoo as well



this was done by our very own Lady Judgement and we have been debating on this as a tattoo for some time now, the background would be excluded but the mist at the bottom would remain in the tattoo

Agree here.

Disagree here. I like seeing a hint of something peeking out. Sparks my interest. Makes me want to follow it and see where it leads. I also love the juxtaposition of body art with formal wear. A shirt and tie with sleeves rolled up to reveal a bit of artwork on the arm... sexy. (Provided the tat isn't something horrible.)



I could be biased though, since I have two tattoos that peek out from my dress shirts. One on my wrist and one on my back that just barely peeks up above the collar at the nape of my neck
