Sure, you might love it until the day you die, but you are making them look at it all the time too. Most women (and men if that is your thing) won't be thrilled at the prospect of a huge D&D tattoo on their loved one.2) I personally would avoid any tattoo of a persons face. I have just seen way too many horrible tattoos where one wrong line makes somebody have an odd expression or look deformed. This goes doubly for any picture of a particular persons face.3) Life takes strange turns, you might picture yourself running a gaming store, but you may end up anywhere, even in the corporate world. I wouldn't want to have to have a conversation about my hobby every time somebody sees my tattoo. This is not even taking into account the prejudice against roleplayers and D&D in particular, which is alive and well in many places.4) You might think that your future partner must be somebody that loves RPGs too, but that is most likely not the case. A lot of non-gamers would be turned off when seeing a huge billboard to a hobby on your skin and first impressions count. Would you be a bit put off by a woman (or man) with a huge back tattoo of their favorite Country and Western album  There is nothing wrong with it, but if it is not something you are into, it makes an incompatible first impression.5) Your hobby can't see or care about any act of dedication to it. I sometimes feel that I owe a great deal to my hobbies, but in fact I don't owe them anything as they are not an entity.6) Excuse me if I am out of line here, but the tone of the OP sounded like you might have battled with depression. If that is the case, please be very sure that when you make the decision about the tattoo it is when you are feeling OK. Neither low nor high. Speaking from some experience here.Sorry to sound like a downer, I'm not saying you shouldn't do what you want, just some food for thought.</blockquote>
