For the final project, I still feel like I am up in the air on what were I want to go but I am going to make my decision final; I will do Tattoos and Video Games.
As far as where I want to go with it, I am not to sure yet. Having a video game tattoo myself brings me closer to the topic. I would like to interview at least ten to twenty different individuals on their video game tattoos and find the meaning behind it. Why did they feel so compelled to permanently get this aspect of the game inked onto their skin? I know my reason behind why I got my Bubble Bobble tattoo but why do others do this? There are sociological and physiological reasons behind this and I would like to investigate further into the topic.

ReplyDeleteI just wanted to offer my help if you needed it; I spend a large portion of my time with the artists at Chaos Ephex in Lapeer and most of us (including myself) have some game-related ink. If you wanted to do an interview or something, I'd be more than willing to chip in, and I'm sure they would as well.
ReplyDeleteThe initial idea for this project is strong, I think, but I'm curious about what you might see as the end result of these interviews. Are you looking toward the production of a research essay? Or perhaps a documentary-style video of a particular length?
ReplyDelete@Kccleveland that would be awesome. I am waiting for my artist from Electric Chair to get back to me, but he just had a baby so I think it may take a while. Anything will help.
ReplyDelete@betajames I guess I am not too sure on where to go with this at all. I didn't think of the video but could be a really cool idea. I just don't want to take on something that is going to be too much.
