Everyone has a way of honoring a game, movie, or tv show. For some, it's simply talking about the media and making sure its voice gets heard and avoid making the mistake of some contestants on Ink Master and not recreate some of the worst tattoos out there. Others may create amazing cosplays around the characters while a few go the route of tattoos, as some did with the now-iconic game, Far Cry 3.
Truthfully, getting a tattoo inspired by one of the games that dropped players on a tropical island filled with psychopaths and pirates is one of the best ways to honor the game that reinvigorated the series. What better to describe the craziness of Far Cry than a tattoo?
Jason's Tatoo By Unknown
There's no better place to start with a search for Far Cry 3 tattoos than with one that's become iconic through the years, Jason's tattoo. Jason Brody, the main character of the game, has the tatau on him as a symbol of being a warrior.
One unnamed artist took note of that and replicated Brody's tatau to great effect, taking time to tirelessly detail the gorgeous work that the tatau represents. If one were to be seen wearing that, they'd be no question that they too are a brave warrior, and truthfully, any fan would fall in love with it as fast as falling for The Office tattoos.
Gaming Tatau By Littlelady90210
Now, while many of the tattoos inspire by Far Cry seem to stick close to the original model, there are a few that deviate and get creative with them. Take Littlelady90210 for example, who took Jason's tatau and twisted it into their own idea.
Embodying multiple games and studios that have popped up over the years, the tattoo is stunning and genius to look at, filled with intricate details and easter eggs that make it pop. It's amazing to see what fans can do with the material given to them and how they can create a tribute like the similar tattoos created for the show American Horror Story.
Ultimate Gaming Tattoo By DwarfBlueFanart
Despite the wide-reaching and avid fanbase that Far Cry upholds, the number of fan-made tattoos isn't as numerous as many would think. As such, there's always the off chance that some fans may end up doing the same idea or tattoo but in a different way.
Perhaps inspired by Littlelady90210, Dawrfbluefanart took the same route and created a similar tribute to the fan art. Even though there are fewer games and characters than Littleladies, Dwarf an equally impressive tattoo that takes the word ultimate to a whole other level.
Loosley Based By GoodAfternoonMyNameIsRussel
Even though there are some great fan-made ideas inspired by Jason's tatau that stay true to the design, there are a few that do go beyond just being a tribute to the tattoo that the game managed to craft. Sometimes, artists like GoodAfternoonMyNameIsRussel try to do something different.
Even though it is loosely based on the game, the art on its own standouts. With some details from the original thrown in like the sharks, the art sticks out, looking as bonkers as some Alice In Wonderland tattoos and might not even look out of place in the game.
The Beginning By The_DaW33D
Seeing something beginning to form is sometimes better than witnessing the final product. Sure, maybe, the final result of one's hard work w0uld be cool to see but just seeing the early stages of one's work is almost more satisfying.
With The_DaW33D, one can already tell that although plenty of work lies ahead, the basic structure of the tattoo already looks fantastic. Looking almost like a miniaturized version of the original, the artists seem to have a clear picture of what they want the final product to be.
Compare And Contrast By Cosplay
It's sometimes worthwhile to stack someone's art against another, to compare and contrast the original to the fan one. Artist Cosplay does that very thing here, complete with plans to get it made later on.
While the original is impressive on its own, cosplay's art has an equally amazing look to it. Complete with what appears to be favorite items from the artist's everyday life like a guitar and a game controller, the tattoo almost looks like a tribute to life than the actual game.
A Little Work By JustaRandomGuy9999
As the saying goes "A little work, can go a long way" speaks true with anything, really. From simple short stories to larger and longer-term projects, doing a little can end up being a larger influence in the long run later down the line.
Whether or not JustaRandomGuy9999 continues with their project or just sticks with the simple wrist is fine either way. Even with just a small and limited amount of work, the art feels like it's attached to a character from the game and not a real person.
What Lies Beneath By Miss Meggicat
Recreating a face or image is nice enough for a tattoo but what about replicating a truly amazing visual? For Far Cry fan Miss Meggicat, that means creating a truly captivating image of the island that the player is trapped on.
From the calm, soothing exterior to the dark and unnerving underside, the tattoo manages to capture what makes Far Cry so unnerving in chilling detail. Of course, that doesn't discount the incredible depth and detail used in the art almost as much as some of the art used in Frozen tattoos.
Vaas By MacyTattoo
Getting the face of a favorite character put on someone is like wearing a badge of honor. It shows how much that person likes the character or is inspired by them and lets them stick out. Now, wearing the face of the psychopath Vaas, a villain who could make mincemeat out of even the best of video game movie villains if given a chance, could be up for debate.
Shared by All In and done by MacyTattoo, the striking realistic look Vaas tattoo looks like it might leap off the skin. It's a testament to the artist's skill, being able to bring that kind of craziness to life.
The Definition Of Insanity By Unholy Cam Tattoos
What's better than immortalizing one's face on a tattoo? How about one of video games' best quotes of all time? While Vaas is one of the craziest antagonists out there, what always sent chills down players' spines almost as bad as some Tim Burton inspired tattoos, was Vaas describing the definition of insanity.
Unholy Cam Tattoos lived up to their name by bringing putting said definition into a tattoo. Accompanied by Vaas's ugly looking mug, the tattoo stands out for its diabolical quote that is still terrifying and disturbing to hear and even read today all these years later.
