Question for those of you with gaming related tattoos.

I'm getting the Demon of Razgriz from Ace Combat 5 tattooed on my right arm in August. I've been a gigantic nerd for fighter jets since I got to see Top Gun at way too young an age, and a gamer since we visited cousins who had the original NES back in 1987. So a tattoo based on a convergence of 2 of my greatest lifelong loves is a no brainer.

I spent a ton of time researching artists in my area, and I'm incredibly excited to get started. I'm having absolutely no second thoughts about what I'm getting, or where I'm getting it but it brings up an interesting question.

Obviously, this is going to be a pretty obscure reference that I'm willing to bet 99% of people I ever meet will not recognize. I'm completely OK with that, because I think it's something that people will think looks great even if they don't know what it is exactly. And if I do ever come across someone that recognizes it, that's a pretty good instant connection.

But for those of you who have gaming tattoos of obscure subjects, what do you tell people who ask about it? Do you tell them exactly what it is, or do you just kind of generalize it? Does anyone ever "tune out" so to speak when you tell them what it's from?

I know I'm going to be proud of the art I get, but I'm wondering just how much I tell people that ask about it. My eventual plan is to get another piece of artwork from the same game on my other arm to complete the AC5 motif.
