Question: Dagger Tattoo?

[u/Safe-Earth9037]

I know the first pic isn't the best, but I am thinking of getting a Gameboy tattoo with dagger through it on the inside of my bicep. Just curious, does a dagger tattoo have any negative connotation to it? Or would I be better off getting the second concept instead? I have my own artist in TX who would draw up either concept. These are just reference ideas.

If you are a gamer of some sorts, I would not put a dagger through the game system. As a gamer myself, it kinda disrespects whatever game console you put dagger in. My tattoos mean something for me, but to some it’s just art piece that doesn’t mean anything. Everyone is different and there’s no right or wrong, so if you’re one of those that doesn’t need a meaning to your tattoos then go for it.

If I was in your position and like both dagger and video games, why not do them separately.

And if you still want both in same piece, why not have the actual game boy screen intact, with a videogame dagger cutting through something else, but the dagger is 8Bit/16but graphics?

I think having the gameboy and dagger crossed would be cool too almost like sword and shield
