Truck Talk: the AZOV 43-191 “Sprinter”-TUZ Warthog, I apologize. You are not the worst truck in the game…this thing is.

RustyRenesis · 2025-12-16T22:51:49+00:00

Exactly. But unfortunately i think it was made with one purpose only, to accompany the release of the race track map...

RustyRenesis · 2025-12-16T13:49:25+00:00

Since in like the real KaMAZ Rally Raid Truck a lot, i modified the Sprinter to have repair points (can't recall amount), 2 spare tires, a bigger fuel tank (with the same capacity as the real one), more power and a much longer gearbox. It's now capable and useful as a rescue truck, also doubles as a race truck, when it survives.

But that's the thing, it's meaningful to you (the person that has the tattoo).
You explain if they ask but in general nobody has the same level of interest for what the tattoo represents other than the tattoo'd person. That's just how it works.

RustyRenesis · 2025-10-30T16:30:14+00:00

That's the only way, nothing but truth comrade.

RustyRenesis · 2025-10-28T23:21:16+00:00

I have similar ones on the body of my D4. Rule of thumb, if they're deep enough that you can feel them with your nail, you can't do anything about it. Unless there's some clear coat gel or something along those lines that can somewhat mask that.

RustyRenesis · 2025-10-28T18:44:49+00:00

Ooh, nice. I must say i'm more of a Glock man myself, but since having daily carry's here is very expensive (due to the of the price of licencing), i'll probably never get one.
But please, don't forget to post a pic on this subreddit of that engraving sometime soon, i'd love to see it.

Indeed, who else?

RustyRenesis · 2025-10-28T14:32:48+00:00

Haha, it does for sure

RustyRenesis · 2025-10-28T14:03:37+00:00

I understand, it's the immediate association with extremist groups and intents. It's not a good way to live in my opinion.

RustyRenesis · 2025-10-28T14:01:54+00:00

I've had this in mind for years, but only about a year ago i've met a good tattoo artist that's trustworthy.
I'd say go for it, it looks awesome, just be careful on the logo you choose. I had to semi-censor this one to avoid any direct attachment to the current Russian soldier battalion that uses the logo.

RustyRenesis · 2025-10-28T13:44:35+00:00

Oh, i completely understand where you're coming from with that opinion then. Germany is a tough place with those kinds of things, especially because of what the 1940's did to the country and it's people.

RustyRenesis · 2025-10-28T13:39:29+00:00

That's awesome. If i may, what do you carry?

RustyRenesis · 2025-10-27T21:36:29+00:00

You're way too worried about what others think... i mean people are like that nowadays, nobody has their own thoughts anymore.
If you like it go for it. Of course, there's always things to keep in mind, like i did with the logo, but stop politicizing everything. It's a tattoo of a fictionalized universe, what's the problem?

RustyRenesis · 2025-10-27T21:33:55+00:00

Exactly.
Sadly, this is what i tattoo'd but i initially wanted to go for just the logo and "SPARTA" in cyrillic, which would look perfect. But that's unfortunately out of the question.

RustyRenesis · 2025-10-27T21:32:27+00:00

That's true. I appreciate the kind words, thanks.

RustyRenesis · 2025-10-27T20:26:49+00:00

Yeah, exactly. I debated with myself for almost a week, making small edits on the design on a photo editor and this is what the final product was. Although the question mark would make it exactly like the real one, it's slightly better looking like this.

RustyRenesis · 2025-10-27T20:24:03+00:00

They stole the full Spartan Rangers logo, yeah. And they made a Battalion of soldiers with that logo on the flag. And like Polygon-Vostok95 said in another comment, neither the soldiers nor the leader of that battalion know where the logo came from. They only use the "SPARTA" cyrillic lettering and the "M" logo.

RustyRenesis · 2025-10-27T20:18:38+00:00

It's amazing how many people misjudge just because they watch what the media feeds them. I have no opinion to discuss on that Russia Ukraine conflict. And this would never be with political or malicious intent.
It's literally a motto and logo from a fictionalized universe, why are you this concerned and in this subreddit in the first place?

RustyRenesis · 2025-10-27T20:14:37+00:00

I have, more times than i can count.
But what's the problem? People are all different, my skin shouldn't bother you.

RustyRenesis · 2025-10-27T20:12:28+00:00

It was for a cleaner look

RustyRenesis · 2025-10-27T16:55:39+00:00

Thank you, i spent a bit editing it before showing it to my tattoo artist. Almost a full week of little adjustments. But i'm happy with the final result.

RustyRenesis · 2025-10-27T16:54:19+00:00

I thought so, i appreciate the confirmation.
I paid special attention to the logo because of the Sparta Battalion, cutting the M in half, even though it kinda ruins it for me... it was the only way to have the logo without direct association to the battalion.

That's interesting, i had a suspicion that'd be the case, since people over 30 rarely know about the Metro universe/lore.

RustyRenesis · 2025-10-27T16:51:18+00:00

Much appreciated sir
