So I am not being silly having the nod symbol tattooed, I am pretty amped.
I guess the only thing left to consider is that a tattoo is there for life, but it will always mean something to you.

I've heard absolutely amazing things about Wildfire Tattoos, provided you live in the western cape. I believe Azimuth also got hers from there.
Their artists are apparently really good and as far as I know touch-ups are free for the rest of your life. They're expensive with a base price of R500 and then having it go up according to the tattoo, but when it comes to something I'm going to be sporting for the rest of my life, I'd rather pay more to ensure I get quality. I'm going to get my tattoo from them when I ever get around to deciding what exactly it is I want.

Of course not dude, gaming tattoos are awesome!
I'm getting the Borderlands logo on my other wrist next and then I eventually want to have a gaming themed sleeve.

Depends on where you get it. On my wrist hurt, a LOT (and I do mean, a LOT). Forearm not so much, but the back of my arm (along the bone) hurt like crap as well.
No matter how much it hurts, however, the pain is addictive in a weird kind of way and after you get inked the first time you just want to go back for more.

Word of warning.
Cheap tattoo is never good, and a good tattoo is never cheap.
Make 100% sure it's what you want, because it's there for life and also make sure it's easily covered, despite people thinking it's cool a lot of people are still "stuck in their ways" and think tattoo's are disgusting and disfiguring.
Other than that you're good to go! Have fun buddy it's super addictive I got 4 so far (Chest piece and 2 quater sleeves) and planning to get a lot more.

I totally agree with you. You get what you pay for. Not going to skimp on the costs. Been thinking about what tattoo I want for years now. Now I am ready to get one

+1 to this. a friend of mine got what was supposed to be good looking tattoo but was going to be huge done by someone who promised her it would be cheap. Well that Tattoo was cheap, problem is it looks bad as in terri-bad. It looks like a picture from a colouring book that has just been coloured in...4 times in the space of 6 months

Big ups for the chest piece! that was probably a nice session to sit through. I've taken a break from completing my sleeve for now (mostly cause i don't have the time or money - lol
) but i really want to finish it off before the end of this year

Also in the process of a sleeve, still working out what I want. Bit of a comic geek so got the mandatory Superman logo and tribal Batman logo. Also my son's name on my neck. The other one shall not be spoken of. Just finished with school, woke up with a hangover, bleached hair and a tattoo...
Anyways, regarding pain levels, depends where you get yours done. Some parts hurt, other parts its more irritating than painfull. Also differs from artist to artist doing the work. The guy that does mine is quite gentle, but you still get those bits where it feels like he is carving you up with a knife.
