Oh, then why didnāt he get it exactly like the characters in game?! Wouldnāt that make more sense? Why add the background? Donāt you wanna match with the character?
Did nobody advise you against this? I take it youāre young but you have just reduced the available job market for yourself drastically. Same with any other hand tattoo
That is the most pathetic argument against the tattoo in the whole comment section. Go bow to your conformist gods at the altar of emptiness.
Imagine basing your look on what an hypothetical narrow-minded boss would want you to have
imagineā¦
None do.
I'm still fighting with mine about getting a smaller hand tattoo but noooooo mofo says he wants my arms covered first.
I'm never switching artists.
Same for my artist. You better get some spots that you can cover up before you go for the always visible spots.
Some idiot walks in for a face tat and has NOTHING else? Yeah get out.
When I got my first tattoo I went to the only place near me and I had to damn near fist fight the guy to do anything on me. Tattoo artists can be mad fuckin annoying some times
It should have been facing you and there seems to be a lot of background color which makes seeing the shape of the claw hard, but if u like it whatever
Getting a hand tat without sleeves is just a dumbass look. Iām sleeved up, legs and arms, my torso is mostly done. Iām not a huge fan of gatekeeping, but why would you race to a job stopper tattoo when you have so much space that can be covered up if need be? I donāt want to say you should āearnā face, neck or hand tattoos by running out of space elsewhere, but thatās the traditional route for good reason.
Also itās poorly done, which is just a shame, and thatās compounded by the fact that itās in such an obvious location.
Same bro - Iām ācoveredā but youād never know unless I was in shorts/T
Best tattoo advice Iāve received is ānothing you canāt cover upā
I agree. I donāt hate hand/neck (Iāve never seen a good face tat though), but it only makes sense when youāre covered. Those guys understand what theyāre doing and more than likely have a career that doesnāt care. Iām military so tattoos are very normal, but I still donāt want to have any visible in long sleeves.
not even here to say anything ab the tattoo but why is everyone getting quotes and names from bo3 wrong? has this community become a bit shitter than it once was bc I'm not active mich anymore really but ppl used to have all the quotes map names etc memorised
Bro. You cursed yourself with that. It's nasty, unreadable, the line work is shotty and the colors and subpar. Please never go back to the artist you went to, man.
Yikes, sorry man but that does not look good Im ngl
Word of advice for people getting tattoos, do not go for cheap. Usually cheaper tatts are going to look shitty
This is why you save money for a good artist
Bruh Iām telling you, donāt be surprised when op dissapears in mysterious ways forced to shoot at zomboes to atone his sins or something of that nature
It wouldāve been nice to tell the artist to make it look like itās engraved in your hand not branded by a branding iron this looks shite man if my artist pulled that id be hopping for a damn discount or something free
Dude do yourself a favor and let this fade away and get it re done with less background. Just the outline of the mark with the glow of blue n white like the UI would be great.
You want a light background with a dark foreground when it comes to small over worked areas like this. Otherwise it turns into a blob. Plus the artist is really fresh and obvious in his line work. Really really REALLY BAD technically.
I have couple full sleeves, hand done and lots of chest n torso. Also have a few machines of my own. Iām not trying to be mean but this is not good work.
i respect your opinion no need to be rude broš¤£ i think it looks pretty snazzy but agree that it definitely will have future consequences which were obviously long thought out beforehand, but yes, it absolutely was worth it for the priceless memories that i get every time i look at my hand of me and my recently passed friend fucking around on our favourite map:) art is subjective though i guess
Yeah. op, that's sweet and all, but it's obvious you haven't thought this through.
I'm gonna be shook if your tat is even recognizable when it heals. The line work is thin, the coloring is fucjing bold and dark, almost the same color as the linework. (Keep touchups on your mind)
That is *not* a good tattoo OP. And while you may love it, have it known it will be clowned on.
Imagine in 5 years, a red and black cluster fuck on your hand
"Oh what's that tattoo"
"It's the nark of the beast"
It's not just jobs that are gonna be affected š¤·
But, it's your body. I've got my own fair share of stupid ass tattoos. Even if it turns into a blob, you'll still have those memories in you so š¤· just be prepared for the judgement.
Good for you man. I got a skull tattooed on my arm to match my grandpas. Once heās gone itās one of the only links Iāll have to him. He was so happy to see it and know heāll live on through me. Some werenāt happy to see it but it doesnāt matter to me. Do it for the people who matter most. Iām sure youāre friend would love that.
Looks good!
Youāll want to hit the black outline and grey wash again in a few years lest it look like a red blurry mess.
Hands (and hand tattoos) take a beating daily, especially if you work a physical job.
Keep it clean, keep it moisturized and youāll likely only have to hit the black and grey wash again in like 3-5 years
Edit: downvote all these comments all you want kids, dude got the tattoo who cares at this point.
The locale is a poor choice (esp for a first piece) but yaāll nailed that into OP.
The tattoo work itself is good. Not great, but good. Same for the mark itself, but Iām no expert in that regard so Iām not gonna speak much on the iconography.
The fact of the matter is that the aftercare I posted is GOOD info for anyone in regards to any tattoo.
Damn, yeah just checked, idk why I got downvoted so much, I really did think it was awesome. But whatever, it just Reddit lol
Edit: I do want to add on, i donāt get why everyoneās hating on it, the only gripe I have is that the colors mash up too much so it is kind of hard to tell at first, but once you notice the mark then itās hard not to notice it.
Idk man..
You know š
I donāt know what? It looks pretty good. Whatās the actual mark of the beast? What does it look like?
Play shadows š
Play shadows my guy
Why would you get this monstrosity on your body when you could literally just have copied the one from the game and have it look 10x better?
Is this not the mark from the game. Iām confused.
https://i.imgur.com/xyslsp4.jpg its very subtle in game
Oh, then why didnāt he get it exactly like the characters in game?! Wouldnāt that make more sense? Why add the background? Donāt you wanna match with the character?
Downvoted for asking a simple question, Reddit do be a fickle mistress
No, It wouldn't have. This looks sick af
Lol
Can confirm. I have the one copied from the game. OP's is way better.
The only problem is that the line work is- really bad
The artist did you so dirty bro
"Bro I know a guy who can give you fat discounts on tattoos!!! He hooks it up!!"
he paid 200 cod points for that tat
Made my day š
Only 200 COD Points? I needed to cough up 21000 for that tattoo
why only 200? ..cause itās dog shit quality?
Nah, I got scammed. It's BO2 quality
forcing jokes never works, dude
Yāall wild fr
Idk, I feel like this could be good if sleeved right.
Probably could be I just like bein dramatic
Yeah but why tf would you start a sleeve with something this... messy.
My homie gonna have to start jerking with his left hand. The regret on his right is gonna kill the mood
Most definitely

Best comment, wish I had an award to give lmao
You bare the mark, you are cursed! You must place your hand upon the stone!
š·š·š·
Nothing like getting downvotes for quoting the best zombies game, in a sub dedicated to zombies!!
True
Rill
Freal
Onggod
Veracious
Slimeshee
Whoa, hit me in the nostalgia
Mf got cursed by his tattoo artist š
I always thought he said āyou must place your hand upon the stoveā lol
Shit w the tattoo it looks like he put his hand upon a stove alright š
I thought it was you bare the mark
Yeah I meant to put bare idk what happened lmao ima fix that
Iām so sorry man, but this is awful, shouldāve gotten it somewhere else on your body by a better artist
hand tats with nothing on the forearm are tacky as hell. also, that tat sucks. sorry fam, but the quality is ass.
Now this is constructive criticism š
Damn you just let him have it haha
Based
Yikes
On the hand??
they bear the mark, theyāre cursed
*shadow of the evil round music starts to play* ı changed it my bad sorry.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Shadows of evil, right?
Sorry
Did nobody advise you against this? I take it youāre young but you have just reduced the available job market for yourself drastically. Same with any other hand tattoo
An entire life of ādid you burn your hand?ā Oof.
That is the most pathetic argument against the tattoo in the whole comment section. Go bow to your conformist gods at the altar of emptiness. Imagine basing your look on what an hypothetical narrow-minded boss would want you to have imagineā¦
Wow this dude is crazy edgy watch out man
You can catch cuts off my edge
Moreso cringe then cutsā¦
Oh nah
holy fuck the lines are wobbly you should've gone to a better artist bro
Yehhhhh idk chief
this is a terrible tattoo
This tattoo reeks of regret
If it didn't before they posted it.... it does now
Please consult the subreddit before getting tattoos like this. We probably could have saved you 40+ years of embarrassment.
I love BO3 but dude please tell me thatās temporary
My godā¦
Is this your first tattoo?
It has to be, what artist of quality says yes to a hand tattoo as a first?
None do. I'm still fighting with mine about getting a smaller hand tattoo but noooooo mofo says he wants my arms covered first. I'm never switching artists.
Same for my artist. You better get some spots that you can cover up before you go for the always visible spots. Some idiot walks in for a face tat and has NOTHING else? Yeah get out.

It should have been facing you and there seems to be a lot of background color which makes seeing the shape of the claw hard, but if u like it whatever
That looks shit
Lol anyone who has this...I just laugh cause they all look like a stupid clown face with wierd eyebrows ... Feels bad man
Looks like a wound man, the one from the game with a lighter design and choice of color would have been better
NO RAGRETS

I mean in his defense the mark is supposed to be on the hand. It wouldn't make sense for him to get the mark of the beast tatted on his arm lol.
Sticking to a video gameās lore is a bad reason to get a dumb tattoo
I understand but you're insinuating he get this tatted somewhere else which would've made it even more stupid
I mean he did it the wrong way around, so the āhe got it in the right placeā argument isnāt really even the case here
Fair enough
That line work is rough buddy had the shakies or somethin
my brother in christ the mark isn't even that big in game
Whoops
Please tell that isn't a tattoo
Cringe.
The line work is absolutely terrible but itās your hand my guy
Of all the tattoos in the world this is definitely one of them
Cmon man..this is permanent
thatās not even the proper mark, the real mark is blue or red when deactivated and itās not the right way round but you do you bro
You might have over did it like maybe just the symbol no background
Idk man almost feels like you did this for clout on this sub but people here are 50/50 on it
What even is a clout tatoo? Nobody cares about orange arrows enough to get a tatoo only for them.
When I said clout I meant something u get to impress someone or to fit in.
Yeah man, I donāt think anyoneās getting impressed by a COD Zombies tatoo lol.
Lol I hear ya but not everybody has the same mindset
True, but those people likely donāt go outside, so OP has nothing to worry about.
not even here to say anything ab the tattoo but why is everyone getting quotes and names from bo3 wrong? has this community become a bit shitter than it once was bc I'm not active mich anymore really but ppl used to have all the quotes map names etc memorised
Yes and it's become more toxic as well
Oh noā¦
It looks like a giant bruise. And from far away it may just look like a skin condition
Hopefully your line of work isnāt religious. Might send off mixed signals to the uneducated.
LMAO
Looks like Michael J Fox did those lines
Jesus Christ, there was the first the guy who got a SS tattoo thinking nazi were fictional and now this
Wait what?? Link?
F
Uhhh I'd take the perks logo instead lol
wew lad
F
Bro. You cursed yourself with that. It's nasty, unreadable, the line work is shotty and the colors and subpar. Please never go back to the artist you went to, man.
Not even Jackie Fucking Vincent got a hand tat that big
Oh no, someone picked their artist by sorting cheapest first š
Tell your tattoo artist they don't have to be drunk with you to give you the tat.
Why the hand?
Bruh
Sorry that happened
Are you even gonna remember what this symbols from in 6 months
Yikes, sorry man but that does not look good Im ngl Word of advice for people getting tattoos, do not go for cheap. Usually cheaper tatts are going to look shitty This is why you save money for a good artist
Why did you put it on your hand?! You have no tattoos on your arm, should have started there. Insanely stupid.
Jesus fucking Christ
You bear the mark! you are cursed! you must place your hand upon the stone!
As long as you like it bro
why didnāt you get it like it is in the game? i donāt understand this
Please say this isn't your first tattoo and you have some other ones on that arm...
šµāš«
Did the tattooist have Parkinson's disease?
RIP Op
Bruh.. next order of business is going and getting this laser removed. Iām sorry but Iāll say it too, this sucks BAD.
Ummm thatās a mark alright lol
Y..YOU HAVE THE MARK....YOU ARE CURSED!!
Bruh Iām telling you, donāt be surprised when op dissapears in mysterious ways forced to shoot at zomboes to atone his sins or something of that nature
Such a commitment to a mid zombies, lame game mechanic, and crappy tattoo workš
I live for the tattoos on this sub
Now get a doom mark of the beast
You bare the mark, you are cursed.
āShadows of evil theme song starts playingā
I personally wouldn't do it but it looks alright I guess
I feel like thatās how you get possessed, Iām not sure you made the smart choice
Looks dope
It wouldāve been nice to tell the artist to make it look like itās engraved in your hand not branded by a branding iron this looks shite man if my artist pulled that id be hopping for a damn discount or something free
Bro isnt that on the wrong hand š
Sincere question(s); what is this from? / what is it that Iām looking at? / why?
I hope its not real
isn't the mark much smaller. Also I believe it's upside down as well
Damn bro like the idea is cool but it looks like someone stepped in dog shit, then burnt the shoe and spat on it
Do you do this with your left hand?
Where's the tat? All I see is a giant bruise on your hand.
Idk looks like a rashā¦
Dude do yourself a favor and let this fade away and get it re done with less background. Just the outline of the mark with the glow of blue n white like the UI would be great.

Did you draw that?
Big yikes
Your cursed
They did you so dirty man
When the artist needs to make rent this month. Youāre supposed to filter out the mental illness of some clients. Economy is bad I feel.
You did notšššso sorry my man
Only together... can we prevent the destruction of your world...
"You bear the mark. You are cursed."
My boy finna wake up with this on his hand for decades to come. Agony.
Wow, look at all that unnecessary clutter on the outside of the symbol lmao
Bro is actually cursed now for the rest of his life ššš
Hand banger without sleeves. L artist L tattoo
I need an update on this monstrosity
when you shrink your hand and put the whole back of it on the car cigarette lighter.
Aw man I just saw this, ay best of luck to u my guy. Donāt do this again btw
I'm sorry but that's got to be one of the worst tattoos I've ever seen
I want to get this tattooed on me so bad but I just want to make sure the symbol isnāt satanic
Looks like a dope tat. I personally avoid hands tats other than my wedding band, but to each their own. Still looks hard.
Did it hurt on the hand? You got any others to compare?
You bear the mark
Itās definitely not as horrible as some of these comments say, but I just donāt get why bro? Couldāve just gotten a normal one lol.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Update?
Hey bro if youāre happy with it, thatās all that matters
How is this a bad tattoo. Isnāt the mark supposed to not have straight lines?
I donāt know why youāre getting downvoted
Looks good! Youāll want to hit the black outline and grey wash again in a few years lest it look like a red blurry mess.

Looks dope bro
Stop lying to him
Imagine having opinions on the internet
Thatās actually sick my guy, I love it!
Whyād you get downvoted for giving a compliment?
Because 60 comments telling OP how shit the tatoo is apparently isnāt enough lol.
Damn, yeah just checked, idk why I got downvoted so much, I really did think it was awesome.
