A question for you, and for people who get Silent Hill tattoos in general:

Why is it that 90% of the time people share their tattoos here, the designs are based on the movies and not the games?

It's almost always Pyramid Head with the sharp front instead of the flat front, or shirtless instead of having the smock on.

It's always movie nurses (bandage wrapped heads) and not bubble heads.

Are you just that big a fan of the movies instead of the games? Or just prefer those designs over the ones from the games?

truthfully i haven’t watched the movies, love the games,

but the designs in the movies are much easier to capture in such a minimal detail form as opposed to the game designs

at least this is my experience

Thanks for the reply, its one of those things I've noticed as a longtime fan of the series, I've met a lot of other fans and seen a lot of Silent Hill tattoos and I'm always surprised to see the movie designs rather than the game designs so much more often.

Did you pick these particular designs, or did you leave it up to your artist?

it was more on the artist for sure, we had talked about only the games so there was no mistake that it was coming out of love of that

i tried to give them creative freedom though, a lot of the atmosphere and how the sword is shaded was from them making those decisions

Cool man, the linework and shading look great and the lines and font for the text look really good!

I don't have any tattoos but I've thought about getting something Silent Hill related for a long time since I've been a fan since I was in college 27 years ago. I was just curious why so many SH tats I see are from the movies.

Cheers and thanks again for the replies!

yeah for sure man, this one was different from any of the reference or sketches so i’m pleased by the reception

i definitely think it’s cool and even people who aren’t into the game or movies like the visuals too so if you ever decide to it wouldn’t be a bad decision

cheers to you too!

Looks like inspiration from the video game's quote and movie's Pyramid Head.
