I was thinking about starting Dark Souls again since my last save got deleted. I’d probably play on PC this time around for convenience. Maybe I’ll get to it this weekend. :)

I’ve got two tattoos and both are kinda related to soulslikes. The first one are two koi fish circling a sunflower against a backdrop of waves. While not originally intended as such, I do love Sekiro a lot, so the koi also represent the big carp in Sekiro who’s just really cool.

My second tattoo is quite clearly inspired by soulslikes. It’s a blue butterfly with two white lilies under and over it. The butterfly is in reference to the butterflies found in Lies of P as well as a direct nod to Sophia while the white lilies can be found in Gehrman’s boss arena in Bloodborne. Love both games, so I was looking for a way to incorporate them both into one tattoo.

Do you have any Soulslike-inspired tattoos? Would you like to share if you do?

    Just today I finished my SL1 + no lighting bonfires run of DS1. It was interesting, but the run from firelink to Nito was annoying… So probably taking a break from souls games for s bit.

    I’m not a tattoo kind of person, but it is cool to see ones I recognize on other people.

      That’s impressive! Did you use pyromancies? With just the reinforced club I don’t know how long that would take. Were the runbacks harder on the whole than the actual boss fights?

        I did Max out pyromancy but didn’t end up using it much. I’ve played the game a… lot… lol. At a certain point the extra damage from pyro being busted doesn’t matter anymore, you just have to worry about not being hit and everything else is fluff, and the weapons do good enough if you rush to upgrade them. This was actually the first time I used the reinforced club too, I usually go with the battle Axe, but i gotta say that the ref. club felt really nice. And yes the bosses were the easiest part by far. I think I had around 15 attempts running to Nito but killed him first try when I finally got there. It was a fun experience though because I got to make use of all the more niche or ‘useless’ shortcuts that I normally would just run past due to a nearby bonfire. Really makes you appreciate the level design in a new light.
