An otaku devotee of Fate Testarossa shares the year-long journey he took in pursuit of having her likeness carved indelibly onto the entirety of his back.
The Fate fan in question actually started posting photographs of his early progress on 2ch in late January, eventually culminating in the recent thread he made on completion of the tattoo:
I got an ita-tattoo, any questions?
I want to see it. I really want to see it.
Well, it’s finally done, after starting a year ago. I’ll upload all the pictures.
This is the rough outline.
This is the first time I’ve really seen someone throw away their life…
What costume is this Fate-chan wearing?
An original costume in the Shinigami vein.
Amazing, god damn amazing. You must really love her. How old are you anyway?
Of course I love her! My age is a secret.
Once Fate-chan is done I’ll see about getting the person inside her [her seiyuu] put on me too. I’m a genius.
Her seiyuu, you say?
Her seiyuu!?
Her seiyuu…?
I’ll get this Phantom Minds cover done:
Fate-chan is finished!

I never really understood the stigma that came with Tatoos, regardless of design. 'Defile your body', 'Throw away your life' are some commonly heard phrases that come to mind.
But seriously, tattoos are nothing more than drawings on skin, permanent drawings, but drawings none the less. Perhaps it stems from the ties that tattoos have with gangsters? I don't know... Sure it will ruin with age, but that doesn't mean that we can't appreciate it for what it is now.
Whatever it is, I won't begrudge anyone from having a tattoo if they really want it and won't regret it.
More on topic, the Feito-chan tattoo is simply gorgeous, a work of art if I do say so myself.
I think it's got the stigma more because some people choose really stupid designs, and have to get it removed when they're 20 years older. Also, Asian people just laugh when they see someone with a Japanese character on their body. Only the super-conservative folks have a problem with something small and classy.
He looks like a Yakuza.
...a MOE Yakuza.
And so he became a real life walking dakimakura
If you love her, why put her where you can't see her?
He doesn't have to see her to continue loving her... this is true love indeed.
She watches his back.
well this guy will never be laid again....
but nice art.
And if he did, I wonder what his children will think of that when they see it.
Threw away his life for the betterment of others.
A martyr if ever be one.
Can't help think Fate-chan will become Fat-chan if he doesn't watch it....
"well this guy will never be laid again....
but nice art."
Again? rofl
i commend his bravery to get this tattoo and the tattoo itself, however i do pray that he doesn't make fate get all flabby and *vomits*
Well that only works provided Fate Testarossa is a person, and not a tattoo overshadowed by a cross.
He says his coworkers already spotted it, and that he had to leave the onsen on a company trip when a customer came along.
You mean any girl who sees that.
wait till he's 60
He's just become like a living desktop wallpaper.
tattoos in japan carry a stigma that they are yakuza, apparently that is changeing overthere, slowly, but surely.
they have to learn what every other culture has already learned about tattoos.
1) they are permanent, barring a scarring surgical procedure, in which case the tatoo is almost always better.
2) make DAMN sure that your tat is timeless. in 10-20 years, will this be the biggest mistake you ever made? see mr cool ice for example of major fuck up
3) how will other people react if they see the tat? thats cool, thats meh, you fucking moron, or GET HIM. this tattoo will make you the one to watch if ANYONE ever sees it, as in there the japan equivalent of an amber alert, you better be well armed because people will borderline murder you.
Can't wait for his skin to turn old & soggy..
I can fap to this
fapfapfapfap
In any event any woman for that matter who see's that tattoo would say "It's got pedo written all over you"
i think hes gay
LOL!!!
*wipe tears*
there's cheeks in every picture...
naw naw anon, how can a guy who loves Feitochan with all his might, can be a gay? preposterous.
The art is nice but did it have to go down to his buttcrack, Fate is tainted.
It actually came out fairly well, although those other tatoos on his back ruin it a little.
Of course it's a pretty stupid thing to do, but no worse than any other large tatoos really.
@diamonddust
her feet are evaporating into his butt...
I think he should have opted for an art of Fate spliting the ground and cracking his butt crack ^^
It feel like shes gonna get sucked into god know where.
LOL.
Only that anime/manga is usually seen as something negative/childish compared to a large dragon, skull, angel or cross on the back.
I agree that was a bit too much butt crack than I was alright to see.
He should've gone the whole way and first erase his old tattoos and then place Fate-chan on a better place.
Yeah, the placement of the tattoo is wrong. Wayyy too low. However, I don't understand why Fate's foot wasn't completed. I mean if he was willing to go THAT far, why not?
Getting Fate-chan laid has a new meaning... when he lie on his back..
Even if he got laid, I doubt he'd enjoy it as much as fapping to his 'love'.
He could still get laid, not like its on his chest.
I have to agree. It's not like people were walking half naked on streets, at work etc. And I'm sure that if he finds a girlfriend, maybe she'll be shocked at first but I don't think it's a matter for break up. And those one night acquaitances (damn, what a difficult word) couldn't care less.
I agree! His ability to pick up girls at the beach has been reduced to 0, but most girls don't see your back until you're already sleeping with them anyway.
If I were going to get an Ita-tattoo though, I wouldn't choose such a childish art style.
How about they notice it when he's getting dressed again, then they go "OMG, NOOOOOO! I SLEPT WITH AN OTAKU!"
I'd have picked a better pic, but I suppose it doesn't matter. He can't show that to anyone but otaku anyway.
Imagine him in an Onsen!!
An album cover in the front and an anime girl in the back, till his crack!!!
then some small kid in the bath house tell his dad, i wan a Nico Robin or Nami tattoo in my back!!!
or i wana Mio or Miku tattoo when i grow up zzzz
I actually preferred the first rougher image, had more of a decent looking effect in my opinion.
As long he doesn't turn his back to her...
I'm deeply disturbed by this article.
I have a 20cm long tattoo of Squal and Rinoa embracing each other from FFVIII logo.
Somehow I do not believe you.
pics or it didn't happen
He's very dedicated~
DAT ASS!
Manly display of otakuness
He cried all along as he got tatoo'd, that's not manly...
