    I got a Thief tattoo (mild NSFW)

    Hey Thief fam,

    Long time lurker, first time poster, big fan of the series.

    Figured I'd share the tattoo I got last month. Don't tell my mom.



    Cheers,
    Mender

    ....and straying right back into NSFW territory. A man's hairy parts are his own business!

    Good question. I'm attached to the quote/story more than I am to the Thief typography though. Plus, the artist I commissioned for calligraphy does sick blackletter type.

    It's also a nice contrast on pasty white nerd skin, haha.

    I did try the spoiler tags. Looks like whatever the forum runs on treats those as text formatting only. Pass on my regerts to your colleagues. :3

    Now, there's a question for all our wonderful Ttlg folk. If you were to get a small discreet Thief tattoo, say, on the inside of the wrist, what would it be? Keeper glyph? Pagan symbol or a Hammer, a Cog, two burricks busy making little burricks?

    Either the keyhole with crossed keys, or a couple of glyphs

    Well then, congratulations on your hat trick of bad tattoo judgment:
    • Video game based tattoo
    • Cliche barely-legible gothic font (which, ironically, isn't used anywhere in Thief)
    • Massive chest-spanning monstrosity that makes you look like a walking billboard

    On the plus side, anyone you reveal it to in an amorous context will be granted an immediate notification that they're about to make a terrible mistake, so that's thoughtful.

    Don't mind the tattoo myself, but it did make me think of this....

    Get a light gem, never work a day in your life again. It's the one weird trick your landlord doesn't want you to know.

    Thief tattoo

    That's so cool! Tattoos are all about personal expression, and yours sounds unique. Can't wait to see a picture!

    May want to reprogram that bot.

    Don't remember seeing this initially. I really hope that pic in the OP is photoshopped. Talk about a world of regret.

    The amount of toxicity on this board never ceases to amaze me.

    Anyway, this also looks like a Photoshop to me. I got a small tattoo last year and I was forced by the artist to shave the area. However, in this case, it doesn't seem to be a fresh tattoo as the area appears unshaved.

    If you're gonna get one, I think that's a cool one to get.

    If I'd have a quote, it'd also be about Viktoria, "Walks she an inch above the
    ground, for all the dirt of her footprints have I found."

    But realistically, if I really wanted to get one, I'd get a fake one painted on, and it'd be one or two of the iconic pagan symbols from the first game.

    If I got a quote it'd be "Better check my map" from the first mission of T2
    I swear, every time I've looked at a map over the past 24 years I've said this, sometimes in my head but often out loud and in Garret's voice.
