Don't get a tattoo. They're so trendy. Why do you need to prove to everyone you like music or history with something "badass?"

what!
even if you play eb, you see some painted or tattooed unit´s. it´s not because it´s trendy. even ötzi was tattooed.
sure it´s much more commercialized today, but i think there no real "posers" in this forum.

Lobf, if you don't like tatoos dont get them, don't cuss out others who do just because it's not for you, each to their own, no need to be so narrow minded.

Anyway back OT

I'll post here because I didn't want to make a thread about it, but I am also planning on getting a classical themed tat and would like some nice imagery to work from if anyone could help.
My plan is to get a (preferably Athenian but its not a deal breaker) 3rd century hoplite in battle panapoly, on my left upper chest.
If anyone could either post up an image or link me to a good reference (Osprey images would be good if someone can vouch for accuracy?) for hoplites I would be very appreciative

BTW @ Laevex
That tat idea sounds nice as mate, where are you planning on getting it done? And if the naked version means more to you than censored, get the naked version, as others have said, your body, your tat, your design, if you're worried about what others think you're getting a tat for the wrong reason. Besides, I don't think an unclothed version of a Greek God is anywhere near as "gay" as some tats I've seen, for example my (gay) friend's tat on his back....it says "Men working at rear" with a large arrow pointing to his nether-regions

Cheers

Sorry, you're right. To each his own. I just really don't like the things. that's not to say I don't know people with cool tattoos or that I dislike people with them. I just have reasons for personally not liking them. And there I go being a jerk again...

Lobf do you ever had a taste of the opposite sex?

lulz. Regular. In fact, I have your country to thank for my first time. So, yeah. Thanks for getting me laid, Havok. I hold you personally responsible.

Thanks for all the advice. I feel a lot more confident getting this done now. I feel that as long as it means something important to me, the design is completely my own.

How big and where abouts are you getting it?

I guess about the size of my hand on my side, just above the hip. I'm pretty sure I want it black and grey too.

You're friend's tattoo sounds fun. But seeing as I also want this tattoo embody my love for historical warfare rather than simply history, I think I would prefer him to be wearing some sort of military regalia. Maybe a sort of representation of Alexander as Apollo, which is reasonable as my name is Alex.

Also, this is a type of comment which has no point at these forums. If you want to tell people that they could be attracted to people of the same sex, go play WoW or something.

Post of the month, imo.
