Why Red Dead Online should have tattoos

RDO should have tattoos because tattoos have been a thing long before the events of the game take place. You y’all think tattoos would fit in RDO or nah too GTA Onlineish?

It's possible. However, personally it'd remind me too much of that GTA trainwreck. I just want the bugs fixed in this game before outlandish content.

I agree. But seeing what Rockstar did with GTO, I don’t see them fixing anything but adding new stuff. Rockstar would be the type of people to buy a bunch of new stuff in a broken house then rather get the house fixed up first

Only if the best ones are tied to ingame acheivements.  If the best are tied to gold bars then they will be way down the list.  Sort of like GTAO.  I will grind my butt off for a tat....but if it a gold bars only deal....I think I rather buy Crips a bear hat

Oh hell no! The last thing I want to see is a bunch of male characters running around shirtless because they spent 2 gold bars on some tattoo.

no that stuff belongs in gta. and i never even got tattoos. and also i have seen so many westerns. and i havent seen one western character with a tattoo. so if they added them it would feel completely out of place.

Back when, 1898? At least support your idea with references and pics.

I'd rather see war paint (I play as a Native character) before I see tattoos

War paint is a good idea as well. It just needs to be done right and not have to be bought with gold bars... same with tattoos or any cosmetics.

Absolutely! Body art has been around far longer than the gunslinger too, lol. And as a man with plenty IRL, it's one of those lityle additions that I would love very much.

 

I'd want them to be ropey looking and rough too.

And then I read this post. Oh dear.

 

I fully agree, I really hope they don't take the piss like they have with emote's. Dang!

I did a google image search, and saw pictures of convicts with tattoos in the late eighteen hundreds. Considering our characters all start out in prison. Why not have tattoos as an option? And here are people with tattoos in the late nineteenth century. Though I wouldn't put that much ink on my RDO character.

Tattoos have been around for thousands of years; ancient Greece, the Romans, Egyptians and Samoa and China. Even further back. They were mostly for criminals/slaves/outcasts. Also... Sailors had tattoos as mentioned above and circus performers. Pretty much the lower class. Tattoos weren't 'mainstream' popular or accepted until the 1950's or 60's.

 

So yeah... I can see outlaws having tattoos. Native American tattoos have spiritual meaning as well.

Couldn't get a very good look at it during the stranger mission, but I'm pretty sure Joe has a tattoo on his chest

As somebody mentioned above and as I’ve seen, Pearson has one on his hand. It’s an anchor

Here's a pic of Joe. I can make out the halfmoon and the roses(?), but I can't tell what the phrase is supposed to be.

Not my cup of tea but more customizations are nice to have, provided r* doesn't decide to charge us a ridiculous amount of gold.

As a big fan of tattoos in real life I'd like them to be added to the game, although, after GTAO, part of me wouldn't look forward to seeing the inevitable horde of shirtless characters covered in ink.

 

But, overall, I'm a more choice is always better kind of guy, so I'd be in favour of adding tattoos.

Sure, but remember they're literally charging gold bars to lose all of your teeth at the barber right now. I can see having ink put on your body costing around 5 gold bars for something as simple as a phrase like "There's a snake in my boot" across your back.

It is a French colonial-era military prison tatoo as refered in this topic 

 

 

Original picture 1544270104-26f0ebfc399c98772b203bb07401d

 

 

It translates to "Everything makes me laugh" which is an Anarchist sentence used in north african military prisons where young delinquents/criminals where sent

 

It was used by prisonner as a way of fighting auhority

Only reason I wouldn't mind tattoos is so that I could stand out and be original.. by not having a tattoo.. just like irl lol

Honestly no, I really want my character to look as conservative as possible. I don’t want the smallest hints of anything modern.

I appreciate your stance but there's been many posts already about how tattoos have been around for millennia, not sure why you're referring to them as only a modern thing.

 

Personally I'm not for or against them, if they were in the game I doubt I would get any. My GTAO character has a few but I honestly forget he has them as I'm usually always wearing a coat or something.

The guns and clothing in game are more modern than a tat, plus if they are added, you don't need to buy one either. :)
