You should get him a ps5 and the new Rift in Time. It was my first R&C game but it is absolutely amazing.

I know I'm not that young but how old is your dad? I grew up on those games and I'm only in my 30s

Haha those original R&C games are some of the only ones that exist where I too will immediately hop into a second playthrough. Challenge Mode in those games is my favourite version of "NG+" ive ever played, by far. It's the real game to me, the first run is just prologue! Rift Apart really took me back to those days.

Super cool piece btw, I suppose I should comment on that. Really strong lines and solid packed blacks, with a good balance of exposed skin. That's gonna look great for a LONG time.

It’s tough seeing your parents grow old. My dad turned 70 a few months ago and it really bums me out. I have this feeling that any day I’m gonna get the call.

I feel you homie, my dad is 75 now and recently got well from prostate cancer amongst covid and many other things, but I'm wondering when this cat's 9 lives will run out. So it felt good to show this to him before something eventually happens.

OP,

I've been in the ink business for a long time. I've reviewed and critiqued thousands of tattoos.

While small, this tat may be the best line work I have ever seen. If this is in homage to your father, it is a worthy tattoo.

Very impressive. Post the artist and give them some cred. And I hope you tipped the hell out of them.

R&C have always been some of my favorite games too, especially A Crack in Time and Going Commando and I have completed GC at least a half dozen times. Your dad definitely has me beat!

And like someone else said, that tattoo is going to look gorgeous for a LONG time.

Thanks fren <3 I know my dad really enjoyed Quest For Booty as well, and also A Crack In Time :)

SpiderPidge t1_jadibuf wrote

Ahhhh Quest for Booty was fun! Crack in Time is probably the best game in the series but I can't help but forever love Going Commando because it was my first. :)

kevboard t1_jael1as wrote

oh god... stop! please tell me your dad was 50 when he played them...

hearing someone talk about their dad playing Ratchet and Clank on PS2 and then in the next sentence say "he's getting older" and then having a tattoo in his name due to that makes me feel like I'm turning unto dust any minute 😭😭😭

SwiftIy2 OP t1_jaelwa3 wrote

Yeah don't worry buddy he was 60+ at the time lol xD

This_Dutch_guy t1_jadfits wrote

What is his favorite weapon over all the games?

2

SwiftIy2 OP t1_jadgmki wrote

I can't remember the names of them but I know he used to replay them all and the more u replayed the games the better ur weapons became right? I slightly remember there was some weapon in R&C2 that shot blue, like a minigun or something, my mind could be playing tricks on me though.

I’ll never forget my ratchet and clank days…….

BrainWrex t1_jae3foa wrote

I absolutely loved the first 3 ratchet and clanks! The replay value is so much higher than many other games. The wacky weapons and silly humor was always great!

Indeed, Captain Quark is a legend lol

occultluxury t1_jae62hh wrote

My first ever video game! I remember watching my uncle play the first one as a kid and I was immediately so into it. I think I only ever managed to beat one of them (the one you could do co-op, my sister and I beat it together). I've got to give them another go now and get to the ends!

Incredibly cool tattoo, I really like the pose you went with too.

My dad loved that game, I’ve played it a couple of times in his honor too.

LastDorito69 t1_jae6632 wrote

Looks fantastic! Out of curiosity, did he not like Ratchet Deadlocked/Gladiator?

SwiftIy2 OP t1_jaefrh5 wrote

Thanks! He never played them, his ps broke and he moved away and didn't fix one again since Quest for Booty I believe

surkitxx t1_jae8zn0 wrote

Reminds me of a childhood neighbor, his dad would play r&c, twisted metal, all the ps1/2 classics and would replay them. Wish my dad was cool

superman_squirts t1_jaeaslp wrote

I loved that series.

Really wish they’d put it in Steam, even though I know it’ll never happen. I’d buy all of them if they did.

I just turned 18 so I plan on doing something similar for my dad soon but car related. Awesome tattoo!

cld1984 t1_jaej317 wrote

This is one of the greatest things I’ve seen in a while. You must really love your dad. As a father, that makes my heart happy. It looks awesome, friend!

On a side note, I knew I would encounter a post like this eventually. But now, knocking on 40 years old and faced with a post from someone old enough to get a tattoo talking about their dad playing games I played, I’m not sure how to feel 😂

SwiftIy2 OP t1_jaem8xn wrote

Lol thanks buddy and don't worry he was 65 at the time when he played them. You are still young!!

Wow that looks really good. I beat R&C 3 and Deadlocked so many times as a kid, brings back memories for sure.

What do you mean by (my father) is getting older now so to speak?

So to speak is "used to highlight the fact that one is describing something in an unusual or metaphorical way."

Is your father not actually getting older? Is ageing supposed to be unusual?

SwiftIy2 OP t1_jaefztc wrote

First off: Show some respect.

Second: I think you 100% know what I meant, which makes you look like a dick writing your comment.

Third: Don't be a dick.

You got a clank tattoo to symbolise your dad? Why not get something that actually is your dad, like a name or something
