Halflife Tattoo

[radioruss]

:cheers:Hi Guys!

I've been reading this forum for a while, but just became a member.

I need your help my fellow nerds... I want to pay homage to valve and the halflife series by immortalizing the logo on my skin, but here's the problem. I was inspired by this picture I saw online several years ago to get this tattoo. Only recently did I get the bawls to actually go through with it. but NOW, I can't find the picture!

The picture was of the lambda symbol (obviously) and it had a gear around it. Anyone know what i'm talking about? I don't remember the size or color or anything, its been a while. But the one I want will be of a gear around the lambda.

Let me know if you guys have any ideas! THANKS!!!!!!!!!

D: Dude! You want to mark your skin with that? What will your grandkids think???



blah, it's your life hehe

 

[mchammer75040]

Don't do it dude, or you may never see a vagina again.

 

[Kula Meenur]

Listen to this man, he speaks the truth

 

[Azner]

Don't do it dude, or you may never see a vagina again.

Either that or see too many.
Take the risk, and i don't think i've seen that picture before, sorry.

Haen't seen the picture, but do eet!

lol don't tattoo a lambda on yourself or you will suffer many evil jokes henceforth

a crowbar would work nicely

or gordon freeman's face in life size on your chest

What does a lambda symbolise?

 

[Eejit]

"A symbol of gay pride in widespread use in the gay community, particularly in the 1970s and 1980s." - says teh wiki.

Among about 50 other uses but OMG TEH 80s GAYZ!

 

[Ren.182]

What does a lambda symbolise?

Isn't it homosexuality or something like that? Really cant remember lol.

But yeah, get something else done. A crowbar!

Edit: Damn you, Eejit!

 

[Azner]

Do Eeeeeet.
Forget not seeing anymore vaginas, at least you get to see more penises!

 

[VirusType2]

Gordon is gay. Poor Alex. Falling for the wrong guy.

 

[radioruss]

wow that definitely blows... i've been thinking on that tattoo for a long time too man. but your all right, can't do it if its the gay symbol, but i don't see why its sad man. I've been playing the halflife series for a long time ya know? Watched it evolve, put in my two cents. I dunno. If you played it from day 1 then its been a part of your life for 10 years, like a great novel. Who hasn't gotten on CS or HL Deathmatch and complained about a crappy day you had on your regular pug? And who can honestly say they've never felt the satisfying sense of teamwork from wailing on monsters in sven coop? Maybe i'll get the tattoo anyway and then just have the guy write NOT GAY under it in huge letters.

The gays will just think you're being a tease, or playing hard to get. It'll only encourage them.

Do it, then go out to enjoy some serious cock, yuma yuma yuma yuma

 

[Sulkdodds]

Grab it like a fucking cock and own it.

 

[CyberPitz]

I'd say get a crowbar. Less gay, more badass.

 

[Rizzo]

The lambda shows a materials heath leading abilitys. I could tell you better in swedish.

 

[MJ12]

I'm getting a Half-Life tattoo, I'm not saying of what though. I want it fo mahselves. Not something typical like a lambda symbol either.

 

[Rizzo]

a headcrab. Lame. Or nude Alyx. On ya biceps.

 

[Cpt Tenacious]

Get a badass tattoo of a Big Daddy!! Right on your upper arm, now that would be ****ing cool.

 

[MJ12]

I can't imagine Bioshock being a game worth getting a tattoo from.

Houndeye.

Do eet!

 

[Cpt Tenacious]

I could.

 

[VirusType2]

OP, just get the tat anyway, even if it does mean gay.

gay guys get all the girls.

 

[hool10]

You might think twice before doing it:

*I shouldn't have said anything and let him take pics of the tattoo and everything then post that. I can't do that though lol. Yes crowbar ftw.

 

[MJ12]

That would definately be a more creative Portal Tattoo than the ones out there Toast.

 

[Eejit]

Thanks! :> I doubt I'll ever have the balls to get it, but I'd like to find some temporary tattoo paper that actually works so I can pretend I'm hardcore. 8D

You could GET some balls. Testicles are safe from auto-immune attack so you can transplant some on without rejection.
Do eet!

Well if you ever think of getting a tattoo, hang the picture up in a place you look everyday/ a lot to see if you ever get sick of looking at it.

Edit: Also, where do you get this tattoo paper?

 

[LackingSaint]

I reccomend a Headcrab Zombie.

 

[The Monkey]

For God's sake, don't do it. Do you really wanna burn your nerdiness into your skin, so that everyone will know who you are without having to ask what the propeller cap is for?

 

[<RJMC>]

what about a tattoo of bullsquid tentacle-mouth on your niples....or down back ther.............

 

[highlander]

D: I wouldn't get it, but it's your skin man.

 

[Acepilotf14]

'Granddaddy, what's that tattoo?'
'Well, back in the olden days we used to have 'half-life 2... back in my day, it used to be as popular as Halo 7!'
-Children laugh-
'SHUT UP, YOU ****ING KIDS, NOW GET OFF MY LAWN!'

That is, barring you never get married. Which is likely.

 

[MJ12]

Hot geeky chicks like geeky tattoos. Don't doubt a man's likelyhood of getting married because of geeky tattoos. As long as they are good and well placed.

 

[Acepilotf14]

Barring you don't find a hot geeky chick.

 

[MJ12]

Barring you don't find a hot geeky chick.

I've been in two relationships where it was a hot geeky chick, and I know many others. Hot geeky chicks exist, trust me.

 

[Acepilotf14]

I know this girl who likes Guitar Hero, but that's really it. The rest just play the Wii or something. The one girl I do know who plays video games is a weeaboo. So she's subhuman anyway.
