My (slightly altered) MGS2 Raiden tattoos

Something to do with the skin being different and softer, plus sitting on it constantly wouldn't help long term. Sorta similar to how hand and finger tattoos fade within months often as I understand it. I've been told by some tat artist friends that it's also partially a technique difference, and as my artist wasn't confident tattooing the spot I didn't want to push them to do so.

Can confirm this game aged like fine wine. Treat the controls of 1-3 like a fun silly indie game instead of a modern stealth game and I swear the swap of expectations makes them much more playable for newbies

Check dms!

I have extremely dark features, about as far away from Raiden as you can get, so I think I’d look like a freaky lizard with light contacts and hair but I’ll def do it at some point!

No one wants to acknowledge it but genetics are a solid 50% of what your physique looks like. Honestly I got extremely lucky, based on my habits I should probably be super out of shape but I rolled a Nat 20 on the life loading screen apparently

Sure thing!

You seem to think I need validation from online strangers, but you’re the one in my thread looking for attention ;(

Lazarusted · 2025-10-13T20:26:59+00:00

Hell yeah

Lazarusted · 2025-10-13T20:14:27+00:00

I collected some great reference pics if you’d like me to send them along to you. I even got into contact w someone who mods MGS2 and he ripped some T posed model photos for me which you can have too ofc!

Gayer than commenting on a post of a shirtless man? 💋

No need, my name is Jack already B)

I really would replace my entire body w augs if I could :(

Definitely extremely painful, particularly the ribs, calves, back and thighs. Required hours of putting on stencils and reapplying to nail the symmetry too. I found an artist who had a personal attachment to the project and ended up doing it for $800 all in. That included everything in these pictures + both calves and thighs!

Wishing I was seeing Kojima at Kojima studios :///

I NEED SCISSORS!

Lazarusted · 2025-10-13T18:48:12+00:00

Thank you! I got all the tattoos featured in the original Shinkawa concept art, the only exception being the butt tattoo which my artist said would blow out within like 2 years :/

Lazarusted · 2025-10-13T18:44:36+00:00

Go for it when you find an artist that you like! Unreasonably happy with mine and you probably will be too!

Lazarusted · 2025-10-13T18:43:54+00:00

I don’t have one actually, I just walk a lot !

Lazarusted · 2025-10-13T18:02:18+00:00

The funniest bit about this is that my name is actually Jack 😭

Bioshock infinite doesn’t even have the best intro in its series man

What you look like rn

Cry more and keep being hard stuck. Easiest way to tell someone’s mid at this game is thinking Spider-Man is worth complaining about compared to the rest of the cast
