How do you explain tribals? Or japanese style dragons?
I would never get a TES tattoo personally but if someone else wants to do that, why not?
I'd rather have that symbol on me than a lot of popular motives people get. Also why would girls (who you generalize so well) think it's stupid? That's pretty prejudiced of you.
How to explain a dragon tattoo? You point at it and say "it's a [censored] dragon". I only know this from expertise as I have a dragon tattoo (I'm also well credentialed in this field, have been through a post-graduate education on the matter).
BTW, I hate your face.
Anyways, I'd personally never get an TES tattoo. Maybe I could get something TES inspired. OK, now that I've actually looked at your tattoo, my feelings against have disappred since it just appears to be a pretty cool looking dragon. I'd could see getting something a little more iconic like some sort of mario related tattoo, but that's about as far as I'd go with video game tattoo's at this point in time.
Hmm, speaking of tattoo's, I need more. They get addictive. I think I'm getting to get a robot Thor wielding a demon hammer fighting a pack of zombie babies, in space.
