    I think that judgement is impossible to make without seeing the actual tattoo, and why it is important to her.

    All we know was that it drew inspiration form the series, That leaves room for a LOT of possibilities

      True, but the original statement sounded just like she liked the show even if it was silly. Not that she drew any sort of inspiration from it. Some sort of symbol might be inspiration for example. A portrait of Xena herself, not so much. ( Also, portrait tattoos are a terrible idea regardless. >.> )

        Heh, sounds like Deadmau5. He apparently got Shigeru Miyamoto to sign his arm next to one of his Zelda tattoos last night and was going to get the signature tattooed on. But when you're busy being one of the hottest new electronica artists working, you can cover yourself up with tats.

        • First, I apologize for waiting this long to post. I kept checking the thread yesterday, and I swear there were no new posts after mine. Had I known what all had been said since my last post, I would've clarified things a *lot* sooner.

          Second, I was trying to avoid directly posting Emma's words on what happened. However, to prevent any further conclusion-jumping, I'm going to put it up here anyways, Here, straight from my friend, is what happened:

          I was on a date with this guy and he made fun of Xena tattoo. Apparently, Xena and Hercules were 'stupid shows' and he hadn't heard of YH.

          First, he saw the tattoo on my hand and asked if I had more so I showed him just my left upper arm, which I have a sort of sleeve forming. Then he saw my Xena chakram/sword one and asked about it, so I got excited and told him about it. Then he said, loosely quoting 'Well, that's a bit stupid. what the **** would make you go do that to yourself?' I explained how Xena made an impact on me, and he said, again loosely quoting, 'You can't be that smart if you think a stupid show like that makes you feel good.' Of course, I cut the date short. I know each to their own and stuff, but seeing as Xena has played a big part in my life being bullied school, and actually finding confidence through watching a strong woman butt-kicker (Buffy helped too), when someone disses something like that it makes me not want to date a guy like that.

            See, that's better. Symbolic tat for something that meant something to her. Not just Lucy Lawless's face stamped on her cus its cool. Makes her date look like even more of a dick than before though ;p

            • That....actually sounds pretty dang cool. Kudos to her!

              I dont think I could ever get a tat. I'm entirely to paranoids I'll be looking at my arm a year later going, "WHat in the HELL was I smoking?"

              Still, been tempted to get the One Rings script tatted befor.e

              • I always liked tattoos and body piercing, unfortunately I have more pressing monetary concerns before doing one.

                  When did I say that that's what it was? :P All I said was 'Xena-inspired'.

                  • Now a tattoo of Autolycus' face; that would be boss!

                    • For anyone who cares, here's a link to the post for the guy on Ars and his gaming sleeve tattoo: Here we go again! Gaming Sleeve Tattoo No. 2! It's DONE! Tons 'O Pics Inside There's a link to the first thread about the other sleeve as well.

                      And here's a link to a pic of Deadmau5 with his Miyamoto tattoo.

                      I've always wanted a tattoo of some sort, but it's one of those things I'll likely never get around to getting.

                        In Australia, it was aired Monday-Friday on Cheez TV/Toasted TV.

                          Never attempt a joke anyone might possibly not recognize as one.

                              • Okay, so the joke apparently needs explaining. "Once a week, on Sundays" refers to the typical church going pattern of the average Christian. So, when you say that you watch something religiously, to say, "Once a week, on Sundays" is basically saying, "Oh, you watch the show as often as you go to church."
