It's rare to see a tattoo in a gaming subreddit and not think poorly of it, but this actually looks really good to me.

The punch, the owl cry, and the sequential crunch.

trivia: this type of mushroom is called ‘eringi’ and its delicious. the real ones dont punch you either.

As a mycologist this fills my loins

we have heaps of mushrooms in all different flavors at the supermarket here. off the top of my head i can name 12. booyah
edit: im not joking: my wife, a classical pianist, once divided a slice of one of these in half with chopsticks to display her acumen. it was the most amazing accomplishment ive ever witnessed in person. theyre hard, but rubbery and meaty. id probably toss it out the window in frustration before success.
edit2: yes im a guitarist. hahhahahahaha musician humor.

Looks amazing. Congrats. And please, don’t let it punch you. He might still want to give you the WWWHHHHOOOMMMPPPPPPPPP punch. So, watch out.

u/VirtualHex Mar 21 '26
Thank god you went with the eyes, really gives it character and keeps it true to dark souls.
Time to get a Basilisk hiding behind them!

u/BadgerBadgerer Mar 21 '26
So you decided to keep the eyes in the end, what made you change your mind?

u/-Quaalude- Mar 21 '26

It's so cute, I love it.
Don't know if it's the idea you went for it but I giggled at it being "don't talk to me or my son ever again" meme material. It's my headcanon now

I really never wanted to hurt any of them but just why do their drops have to be so good?

u/MoMo-CHWAaN Mar 21 '26
Looks amazing. Kinda looks like the kid is walking away head slightly down crying and she just has a defeated look in her eyes lol.

Good call removing Daddy Shroom's "mushroom print."
As an aside, I never kill these dudes. I just run. Same with the skeleton babies near Pinwheel. Just can't do it.

u/FadedFuji Mar 21 '26
Did the artist mess up the shape of the belly and the left leg of the big mushroom? Or is it just the angle? It looks off to me
•
•
u/-Quaalude- Mar 21 '26
We took some creative liberties but yeah it looks that way because you need dimension to see legs that don’t look like just a stick

Do you find enjoyment harassing people on the internet? Does it please you? YOU ARE A WORTHLESS HUSK OF A PERSON, YOU DONT DESERVE THE GROUND YOU WALK ON!

Most people will just like this because it is a good tattoo, BUT THEY DONT KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE GETTING PUNCHED
