Tattoos and the games industry

[Minos]

This one goes for everyone who works in the games industry. How are tattoos seen in this industry? I don't think industry people care much about them but who knows... I'd rather not work at a place who doesn't accept a tattooed person anyways. (yeah I'm thinking of getting one)

dude.... tattoos, no tattoos.... doesnt fucking matter. if there was any company that had such a policy I dont think it would exist very long

[Nexus]

Mino, I like you, you're a cool guy. But this has to be the dumbest fucking question ever

[skdr]

Mino, I can't believe you asked this

it's acceptable, but only if you tattoo Sonic on your chest doing a spin run!

If you get one done, best get it somewhere that is often covered up. Although it shouldnt make any real difference as to how people might judge you, it does.

[Thrik]

Yes, definitely. No matter how much you might be proud of your tattoo, always get it somewhere you have the option of easily covering it up. Sometimes you might need to look professional for an interview or something, or might be in a situation where you could feel potentially self-conscious about your tattoo (plan for when you could be in your 40s and some kind of executive).

[Pericolos0]

don't get a tattoo you idiot!!

[Thrik]

I'd agree with that too.

Get temporary tattoos; they last about a week. Just tell people you had them laser removed and then got some new ones every week. :cool:

Being in the Navy I feel weird not having tattoos. I can count on one hand other co-workers who don't.

A few of my mates are notorious for going out, getting drunk and then tattoed almost on a weekly basis. It's pretty damn funny the shit they get done whilst drunk. I know one guy who has a very impressive chinese style arm sleeve comprising of waves and fish. The same guy also has some of the worst tattoos I've seen including port and starboard written on his left/right feet and also mum and dad written on his left and right elbows.

Another guy has his brothers and sisters names written along his forearms in the gayest font I've even seen.

The funniest though is a mate who got the lyrics to a Grinspoon (Australian band) song inscribed on his stomach. Unfortunately his grammar, and the tattooists, weren't great so instead of "More than you are" he ended up with "More then you are".
