    This is my first post, but I wanted to say something. If you insist on getting a tattoo, get it where you can hide it if necessary (like the bicep or shoulder). Potential employers may frown upon tattoos, especially if they're readily noticeable. It's also good to have them be hidden for occasions like weddings, funerals, and other things. Just my personal opinion, though.

    I got N7 on my right arm.
    Where it's easy to hide but also easy enough to show if I feel like it.

    @smcn: 
    Get it where ever you want it, asking us is really not the right way to do it. Just because the poll might say something doesn't mean that you have the same feeling about it. So take the time to decide your self. I have several tattoos my self, and i know asking people about what they thing is bullshit cause you kind of already have an idea in your head, you just need someone to validate it.
     
    So just get it where you think its best. Personally my tattoos aren't hidden, and i have had no issues with that. And i have worked in preschools and right now i work in the elder care field. And no one gives a shit about your tattoos as long as your a decent human being. well maybe if your going into some corporate word, it might be good to make it so it can be hidden with clothes, some peoples mindsets are still in the year 1800.
     
    Also you need to be sure that your man enough to wear it, meaning in 10-20 years when Cerberus doesn't mean the same to you as it does now, you will still wear it and feel good about the memories it holds.

    @smcn: I don't have hostile intentions.  If you don't want to be open to every opinion then don't start a thread asking about your tattoo and expect everyone to stay within the confines of the poll.  I couldn't give two fucks about what tattoo you get or where you get it.  I have plenty of tattooes and I do have a couple I regret.  Was simply trying to show the other side of the coin.  
     
    Enjoy it, just make sure the tattoo parlor has clean needles, good coffee and a receptionist with a low cut top on to stare down whilst you get it and you will be fine.

    Certainly not. My mom has this on her arm: http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z61/kevindoom/cold_spider.jpg 
    Bonus: In the middle of it is (supposedly) the kanji for "cold", but it's in red and she hasn't had it touched up in years so you can barely see it.

    I intended to from the beginning. I thought this thread might spark some discussion about tattoos people have or want to get -- I didn't realize the GB community were a bunch of squares. (JOKES)

    Just a black N7. The red would have looked silly without a background, and I dislike the thought of having a sticker on my arm (meaning it looks like a rectangle, not just the letters).

    People get things like playing cards, footballs, baseball, or even movies etc tattooed on themselves.  What's wrong with getting something connected to gaming?  Especially for a series like Mass Effect which is significant to many people. 
     
    Personally, if I was going to get one, I would go for something a little more classic, like Zelda..  but it's pretty likely ME will be rembered just as fondly anyway.

    I think his point is something that has meaning to you not just now, but will continue to hold meaning for you in 20 years when the ink is still on your body.  I'm not an anti-tattoo person.  I have one and want at least one more, but I agree with @Mrskidders:

    Also, this.  Then again, it depends on what you plan to do in life and if you are the type that cares about looking professional when the time calls for it.

    Tattoos are fucking awesome.
     Fuck everyone else.
     
    Shoulderblade would be cool but then you wouldn't be able to get anything on your back without it being silly.
    So maybe upper arm. Or maybe the inside of your upper arm. 
    Or rib cage.
    All easy to hide too.

    I don't find anything wrong with video game tattoos, but make sure you put it on a spot that can be hidden, mainly for work purposes.

    I assume OP has already considered the ramifications of getting a tattoo and may already have several, so no one here really needs to lecture him one way or another. 
     
    Why does every tattoo need a story? People can do whatever they want to their bodies, and the Mass Effect symbols are all graphically appealing because they had amazing designers make them.  I noticed yesterday in another thread that a lot of people on GB are anti tattoo and it's kind of a bummer. Tattoos are awesome and oh em gee, they're optional. There's no reason to try and belittle someone else for doing something they like. Not wanting one is fine, being a dick about it is not. 
     
    Personally, I like inner forearm tattoos over bicep tattoos. Are you doing all black?

    Unless the Cerberus logo has some personal significance to you, like maybe if you worked at Bioware or something, don't get this tattoo.

    As someone with a video-game tattoo, I say get it. It's kind of a cool design and you're obviously intent on getting it.  I wouldn't know where though, because it isn't one I would get.

    Picture yourself 20 years from now, do you still really want the Cerberus logo on your skin?

    If it was me and I had to get it, it would probably be on my bicep.

    @smcn: I'll kind of echo that maybe you want an N7 tattoo instead. Cerberus has a cooler symbol for sure but...they're also kind of an extremist group in the ME universe. I speak as someone who has three tats of my own, if this is your first, GET IT ON THE SHOULDER. It's a nice, meaty place, far from the bone, when needle meets skin it can be KIND of shocking. Plus if you want to get a respectable job, you can cover it with a short-sleeved shirt.

    If you intend to get it, I think the Cerberus design looks more interesting visually then the N7 logo.
