As pointed out on Reddit, guards in the game often say, “I used to be an adventurer like you, until I took an arrow to the knee.”
Tattoo artist Nikkisny originally uploaded the tattoo to website FunnyJunk, noting:
I have a lot of silly tattoos along with tattoos that mean a lot to me. I am a professional tattoo artist and plan on being heavily covered. So I do NOT need to hear people bitching about how I’ll ‘regret it later’. I WON’T. I DO NOT REGRET ANY OF MY TATTOOS! I only live once so I’m doing what makes me happy.. whether you approve or not!
Nikki, I used to be a professional tattoo artist like you, until…
I used to be an adventurer like you . . [FunnyJunk Thanks tipster!]

I know she says she’s going to be covered in tattoos but…It’s pretty stupid ^^;;
What next? Someone gets a cutie mark tattoo?

I have many tatts’ all hold very little meaning, and I like it that way.

I was basically saying exactly what Aussie Sniper is saying. I can kind of see how you took it the wrong way, but I wasn’t saying tattoos are stupid. To each their own.

Could be worse. At least it isn’t a southern cross or tribal tattoo or a tramp stamp…

Sunday, December 11, 2011 at 5:23 PMThis reminds me of “the cake is a lie” meme… funny when you heard it in the game and perhaps when you uttered it to a friend soon after, but four years later you hear people saying it who haven’t even played Portal and wouldn’t get the context of the joke. Here we go again. Fuck I hate pop culture.

Sunday, December 11, 2011 at 8:43 PMimo, as long as a tattoo has meaning for the person then by all means. I just think in this day in age, many people are getting them just for the sake of getting them. I’d like to think of getting a tattoo like getting married, you’d have to be pretty damn sure about it if you want it around for the rest of your life, or it will leave a big hole in your pocket later in life and many regrets.
Personally i think it looks great, and as long as shes happy and sure of it i see no problem
