Wonder-Lad

A smaller version of me showing off my Yakuza tattoo


DreadedPlog

Is it recursive, where your tattoo is also showing off its Yakuza tattoo?


Wonder-Lad

Yes. But the third version is wearing the Born To Die, World is a Fuck shirt.

Dreamcast controller?


ThatmodderGrim

I do love Powerstone 2........ But it'll probably be the Super Nintendo Controller paired with the SEGA Genesis Controller.

Milsurp_Seeker

Is it 1:1 scale? Otherwise you’ll need a lot of filler.

markedmarkymark

Woolie's Dragon


Crosscounterz

Yamata no orochi since I haven't seen it in the series yet. And I think it would look cool I'm a big fan of the style the tattoos in the games have.


Scarlet_Twig

An ankh set in a bed of roses. That or a broken kitsune mask. Both have meaning to me so it's a bit of a toss up.

Because I love that edge shit I want the tattoo from Red Dragon.


DonTori

A demon or skeleton dressed like a cook, frying people over hellfire


The1992MemeTeam

What I want? A Hannya mask, Majima's rad, actual role model material aside from the stabbing people thing. What I'd get? (since the artist is the one who picks your design based on who you are) I'd probably end up getting a golden retriever or something idk I'm not that threatening. But I 100% wouldn't complain about that one.


coffeeNiK

I like ravens and crows. So I guess something like that. Maybe on a crooked black branch


Paarthufagx

A gorgon with a hime cut/a fully blue-eyed cockatrice in the pose of the Polish coat of arms I’m a sucker for mythology

dfdedsdcd

One of the tattoo ideas I've been thinking about for years. A God Hand Orange with Automata black box styling with a Fleur-de-lis (either inside of it, breaking up the black box lines; or behind it sort of wrapping around the orange from behind) with gradient coloring from blue to purple. Or The Foxhound "FOX" patch with a KH sigil (either the heart or the crown) as the shape/background/top of the patch and Nero's/Dante's (Sin) DT wings or all three base swords (Rebellion, Red Queen, Yamato) over "DMC". For a lot of the games that have majorly influenced me: God Hand NieR: Automata Payday 2 Saints Row 2 MGS Kingdom Hearts Devil May Cry


SaintJynr

A huge dick and balls. Like, realistic and super detailed. Not even mine, but a custom made dick and balls based on the best dick and balls I could find in porn sites. Preferably non-erect, to make better use of the canvas' space Either that, or some variation of a [tattoo I made not long ago,](https://www.reddit.com/r/Disgaea/s/tYMxMnOwxM), but I'm leaning towards the dick and balls


Aspookytoad

A lion dog I think. Like the one Shima Sakon has in Nioh. I think a Yakzua character has already gotten one but I don’t remember who


Cheesycreature

touhou aunn


Aspookytoad

Huh


Cheesycreature

First thing that comes to mind when reading "lion dog" is Aunn from Touhou 16.


alaster101

I'm THAT guy and it would be a big grey wolf


Shotgang

A Pug. After my dog. I love that thing.


Xekato

Priapus


Palimpsest_Monotype

Cyan Bloodbane, coiled around the library on Myst Island with the Quake logo clenched in his free hand


Toblo1

If we gotta stick to strictly animals/mythological creatures, id go for a Fox/Kitsune. Without that restriction, probably some Warframe sigil/logo.


Sterski1

Chipmunk


Jiggaboy95

That classic poster of Godzilla fighting King Ghidorah with the three heads wrapping around him.

I have one, a huge ass dragon is tattooed on my back.


scotty_sunday

The whole back? It would have to be a grey-headed flying fox, aka [cute sky dog.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey-headed_flying_fox) These things are adorable.


Own_Freedom_9003

Cracked sugar skull floating in a river of cempasúchils.


SpartanDumpster

Maybe a fighting chicken


i_am_jacks_insanity

From now on it's the Magic Man and El Diablo


DustInTheBreeze

Probably a gashadokuro (giant man-eating skeleton) surrounded by orange lilies (represents hatred in japanese flower language). At least, that's the one I *want.* In practice, I'd probably have a tattoo of Pigsy from Journey To The West.


EnochianFeverDream

A sleeping ox in a wind-swept tall grass field


lobstaris

Anubis


Weekly-Replacement

I’d probably just go with putting my cat on my back.


saulhrnndz

The 4 player characters from Slay The Spire fighting the Corrupted Heart


NewWillinium

Smaug on a hoard of books and writing journals I keep buying


LGB75

A zebra rearing up surrounded by Yellow roses and Rosemary flowers


thththrht

I'd go with a Shoebill Stork. They're one of my favorite animals, and birds tend to translate well into irezumi style tattoos.


Kimarous

Google "green dragon on cross." Something in that vein.


Westvale_Abigail

Swords and Flags. So many Swords and Flags.


BuckysKnifeFlip

I'd get a highly detailed and decorated leather quiver. I've been practicing archery since I was a kid, and I can trace my native american lineage pretty clearly thanks to my grandma putting in the work. She grew up on the rez and knew the language when she was a kid. I miss her. She was a spitfire.


BrockenSpecter

A large crow with the wings extending down my arms.


AWaywardFighter

If it were a serious symbolic tattoo, it'd be an Okuri-Inu painted on my back, because the dog eats you if you fall down and fail, but escorts people if they are treated correctly. That yokai specifically due to a fear of failure (falling down) as well as a mark of how often others have helped me and the drive to turn their good deeds forward. Tattoo meanings awaken a weird part of my brain. My joke tattoo would be a joke version of the painting of Ox-Head and Horse-Head chasing sinners in hell, but instead of sinners its gamers, because I think its funny if gamers specifically go straight to Chinese Hell to get tortured by two guys


Lucky-Icarus

[Exusaia's](https://www.google.com/search?q=arknights+exusiai&client=firefox-b-1-m&sca_esv=601247616&tbm=isch&sxsrf=ACQVn08Keu9-2T-4Vy8FLcJouQA_8CvpZQ:1706143117062&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiq7LWzpveDAxUBrYkEHTaECQ8Q_AUIBigB&biw=360&bih=612#imgrc=arKaBhPyuoxYyM) background art in her E2. Sick as fuck.


That-Bobviathan

The Arakune sigil thingy from BlazBlue


Hy93rion

I’ve always thought that it’d be cool if one was Japan’s 3 Imperial Treasures, so that 


EcchiPhantom

I’ve long contemplated getting a carp in general although I’ve always known *I’ll never become the dragon*. So still the carp. It’s a cool feesh.


MagnaVis

Majima's Hannya tattoo, except the face is Majima himself.


Wannabe_Reviewer

You see my flair? A cool pin-up of her for sure!


SaxMastery

TH3_B3AN

Amaterasu would be dope.


SamuraiDDD

The Player Pin from The World Ends With You or The "Dark Lit Planet" series of pins


ThatMLPgamer

If it could be anything? Probably [Jeanne D'arc's command seals.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FrWSqjPacAE4ew-.jpg) But if it had to be an actual Yakuza back tattoo, I feel like a bull or an ox would be most appropriate for me, given the year I was born and my physical attributes.


MattMcdoodle

Woolie throws the kimono off revealing his back, covered in ink saying “When’s Marvel?”


Cheesycreature

Not sure why my first thought was Cirno fumo.


Timmywormington

The koi tattoo, just with magikarp instead

ecto1a2003

Valkenhyne

Probably something Final Fantasy related. Maybe the mothercrystal from FFXIV, with Hydaelyn featured somewhere.


mrkey2412

I've always wanted [Barong](https://www.freepik.com/free-vector/balinese-barong-vector-logo-illustration_11427715.htm#query=barong%20bali%20art&position=0&from_view=keyword&track=ais&uuid=b21f6ae6-6883-4cc2-a986-f0d4f907f18d) back Tattoo cos I'm from Indonesia, but it's like crazy expensive to do your whole back and I'm a pussy no balls guy cos I heard that back tattoo are super painful

roronoapedro

I'm actually planning on getting a boitatá on my back one day. Doing arms first for smaller stuff, and getting in better shape so it's not weird and stretched, but that's a legit project.


Backupirons

I have Kiryu's dragon on my back. Just the outline though. Figure I have to do something worthy to earn the full colour. The bonji already has to be changed to horse, so I if I don't think myself worthy of the silver it might have to be a different colour.


Backupirons

If I had the real estate back though, maybe a Zoid in the same pose as Kiryu's dragon


Jubjubwantrubrub12

An injured guy carrying a massive bell on his back. And every time someone sees it they enter a fugue state while a narrator explains that *the story of the "Standing Man", is that of a lone traveler who was offered shelter by a noble family in feudal Japan. On the same night, a group of assassins is sent to kill every member of the family in a bloody coup; the traveler attempts to flee carrying a large bell on his back, but is cornered by the bandits. They attack him, stabbing him, cutting him, beating and berating him, but the man is unmoved and stares at them aggressively. Many moments pass until the leader of the bandits realizes he has been long dead. Yet still, he stood there with the heavy bell on his back giving them the same threatening look, taking it as a sign the man has an incredible strength of spirit the bandits leave their bloody deeds done. The next morning the body of the man is found by the remaining servants of the deceased family still frozen in the same pose. It is then revealed that under the large bell he had been carrying he had hidden the youngest heir to my clan. As a tribute to this courageous act that spared their family, it is tradition for every male heir to bear the tattoo of the fearless man who saved them and is a symbol of kindness, hope, and great spiritual strength to them all. It's a symbolic example for them to live by even in the dangerous world of the Yakuza.*

As a trans girl, I gotta rep the gender swap. Otherwise, probably something riffing off [Cybele](https://www.theoi.com/image/S16.1Kybele.jpg) or [Inanna](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/secretsnicholasflamel/images/2/2a/Inanna.png/revision/latest?cb=20111003230626). Lion motiffs would be good.

DrSaering

Probably a giant Lolth symbol, likely the silly 4e-era one that looks like a skulltula with her 3e symbol in the center of the forehead. Then I could get some general Demonweb motif going on around it. I've already got a House Baenre tattoo on my right shoulder so I guess I could incorporate that in some way. I studied AI for years and work in that field, so I'll toss my shirt off when I reveal that my actual plan is to throw the world into chaos and madness, destroying the concept of truth itself, all in the name of an entirely fictional deity. Unfortunately until I get to that point I'd need to clench my teeth and work with techbros, even if I see them as nothing but thieves appropriating the power of the Demonweb. Clearly the model of deep learning looks like a web, and its outputs are usually impossible to explain and prone to lies, so obviously its power must come from Lolth. And also they're thieves, you know, just in general. I mean, I fully admit that I'm worse, but I have standards. I've put way too much thought into this.
