EQ Tattoo!

Rott23Rott23 Member UncommonPosts: 56

So, I was thinking about adding some nerdyness to my skin.  I already have the Konami Code tattoo on my leg, and thought it would rad to have an EQ tattoo. I practically spent 4 years of my life in that game.

I'm looking for ideas!

I want something that only an EQ player would recognize, not like the EQ logo or name or anything like that.  Something that was more fond of the original EQ days would be even better.

My original ideas was to get the"Loading, please wait...." tattoo'd somewhere, but it's still up in the air, and I'm not sure if people would tie that into EQ, or just as something loading lol

I know this is super geeky, but I dig it ;D     Ideas anyone?

    hmm i throw a couple ideas at ya.

    "You're in our world now!" somewhere.

    Or maybe the class logo of your fav class? that would be pretty rad.

    "Train to zone..."

    A tat of the "Everquest chick" or whoever she is. kind of subtle but kind of like a logo.

    thats all i can really think of right now. maybe other people will think of some. You better post a pic if you go through with this!

    Brainstorming...

    - Maybe your class logo on the left (1 logo per class)?  A druid have a tree and some stuff, it is small, just above the meditation thingy...a Paladin has a helmet if I recall well...and so on.  Anyway, if you log in your main character, you would see what logo I speak off.  (VERY SMALL)

    - Maybe the symbol on a flag, either Crushbone, Freeport, a temple...  (VERY SMALL)

    - Maybe a sarnak, a drolvarg, a gnoll...or a crystal spider maybe...or a LAND shark attack (kinda big for the land shark)

    - Maybe a comic at GUcomic...

    - Firiona Vie, either the legs fixed or not, both version (tm) are available (on some pictures, she has 1 leg much longer than the other)

    - A weirdly equip adventurer (bronze arms, steel bp, no pants, etc...)

    - The meditating book or any of it wonderfull spell-icon-picture (very small)

    - "If I understand you well, you are telling me until next time. " - Ren

    Get something simple like the everquest zippo designs or work from there, I really like them, they have them in the station store or just google them

    Edit: I only like two of them, of course you could just size down your character and get him tattooed on your arm

    I always thought the neon symbols on the walls of Neriak were cool (I've wanted to find some pics of them and paint them on my bedroom wall in the original neon or glow in the dark colors), I'd use one of them.

    For it to classify as an "Everquest" unique tattoo, it has to be something EVERYONE will identify on first glance as "No f****'n way man!!, is that an EQ tattoo?!!".



    Like have the face of Firiona Vie tattoo'ed to an area that won't be vulnerable to fatty tissues (so when you get older it won't cause issues )

    either:

    "You ruined your lands, you'll not ruin ours" or however that went

     a pic of someone with a polar bear head as a hat

    or

     

    if you're looking for classic old school eq, a SSOY, still a distinctive looking weapon in game nowadays :P

    Lol no offense taken.

    Some great ideas. The class symbols would be pretty cool  - I didn't even think about that.

    Also, the neon designs would be cool too, I wish I could find out the lore behind them tho.

    I think my favorite so far is "TRAIN TO ZONE!!!11"  lol that would be hella funny. That is DEFINITELY  something only  EQ people would know. Thinking about trying to explain what it means to someone who doesn't play games is kinda scary tho; I don't think there is any way to justify that being cool to anyone without a geeky side ;P

    I think I'll stay away from an actual piciture of a character or god, I could just see that being completely botched.

    Thanks for the suggestions; keep em coming!

    Oh man, the snake one is pretty damn good. So is the sand giant one too, everyone remembers that lol

    I think i'm going to do one of those, that's too awesome to pass up

    Does anybody happen to have a screenshot of a snake or sand giant attacking with a hit and then kill, followed by a load screen prompt?  I'll have to have it copied with the same font and layout if I want it to look original in the tattoo. 

    I'd really appreciate it!!   All my screen shots are on an old CD buried under junk in storage :(

  • Daffid011Daffid011 Member UncommonPosts: 7,945

    There was a very long time debate and research forum about a certain symbol that kept appearing all around the original game world.  Mostly on the wizard spires and such, but I recall one also being in efreeti lord djarns roon.  The theories on what they meant and such were awesome. They are everywhere in the old game, but something you just overlook until you see it in a screenshot or something.  Then it brings back floods of memmories.  I think there is also one in neriak.  One of the neon floaty symbols?

     

    I will see if I can find a link with a picture.

  • Rott23Rott23 Member UncommonPosts: 56

    Cool thanks :)

  • BakhallaBakhalla Member Posts: 40

    class logo would be cool, because those who saw it from normal perspective would just think it was a dream catcher, or a skull, or a sword, but others would recognise.

     

    i'm pretty silly myself, so i'd get a sand giant or a desert orc somthing like that.

     

    oooh, or i nice battle scene of mky dwarf rogue ncharacter slaughtering elvish children in greater fey... whooo it was the good ol' days!
