This is my first tattoo, I got it about a month ago. It’s a character from a video game called ‘Megaman’. I love this tattoo. I plan on making a video game sleeve to continue up on this arm. I was told at the tattoo shop that having a red background or red elements behind the character would make the blues stand out more. I don’t know yet how I’m going to fill in the sleeve. If you have any comments or suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.
I was actually leaning towards Heatman on the other side of my arm and then willy up near my shoulder. My favorite Megaman game was MM2 for Nes. So I try to stick to those bosses/badies. But I was debating making it a general video game sleeve also. So I wanted to add some Quake marine. Another idea I had for the forearm is to make a street from Paperboy from my wrist to my elbow and just have a few paperboy obstacles and houses along the way.
Something like this for heatman.
Megaman 2 is the single greatest game ever. Period.
The heat man pic is awesome, but someone’s already tried using that Skullman pic around here before. The general consensus was that there’s no way in hell that it’d work as a tattoo thanks to all that white.
I personally would stick with the MegaMan theme, or at least to more cartoony characters like Mario, Sonic, ect. because the Quake Marine won’t match up with the blue bomber—too GRIMDARK to match up with his bright pastel rage.
Love. Peace. Metallica.
If you do sleeve go with the same artist to do it justice.

For sure. I already talked to him and told him I would be bringing him some more ideas for him to work on. I’m super happy with his work and he is a pretty cool dude to boot. Very easy to work with / talk to.
