anomaly1964 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Can I ask what about that 1 image is the most impressive to you? So I can get a better perspective.EDIT: Personally, I lean towards the Frank Miller/ Alex Ross batman art. I am an enormous batman geek as per my name lol. I look forward to seeing what you do pick and end up with. Batman is the only hero I think I would get a tattoo of... not sure maybe Hellboy or punisher? The two pics in this thread are Dustin Nguyen.... I like Frank Miller too, maybe Batman in the armor he fights superman in, you dont see that alot...

anomaly1964 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 I guess I am really all over the place. I just found this image, it's from the opening of Matrix Revolutions, from the code, it's supposed to represent the mega city... Same image, black and white... Now this I am really into, maybe black with a green MATRIX glow around it...? Or This...

CultExciter Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Dude. All these ideas...you're killing us. Just go get tattooed.

sighthound Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Yea, any image can represent anything you want it to - just go with something that you think is badass.

anomaly1964 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 I am about 99% sure I am going to to with the symbol from The Matrix. The "Choice is an illusion..." quote by the Merovingian has always stood out to me. While some may see destiny, fate, WILL as a straight line, I see it as a flow chart. It may indeed be my DESTINY to get from point A to point B, but the path I CHOOSE to get there is my own (or is it?). The thinner lines that shoot off the main image represent...to me...the PATHS one can take to get to his/her destiny...

Pugilist Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Dude, the Matrix is like the #1 movie for 30-something white dudes who think they're deep. There's no danger of people not "getting" it. People are trying to give you advice because you're sacrificing something that will look good for something that you perceive as meaningful and unique. Get whatever you want and what makes you feel good, but this shit ain't special.

Pugilist Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I just said that Matrix tattoos aren't particularly special? You're not finding anything because tattoos like that rarely look good, which is why it's not a great idea.
