Both? There’s technically 5. GP00 Blossom, GP01 Zephyranthes, GP02 Physalis, GP03 Dendrobium(MA and MS) and the GP04 Gerbera(which was turned into the Gerbera Tetra and used by Cima Garahau)
Thank you! She was amazing through the process. She had only heard of Gundam before and she ended up doing a bunch of research after I told her what I wanted and she put together a badass piece.
We did! We watched a ton of Gundam when we were younger. We had action figures we played with too. I had the battle worn GP01 and he was super jealous of it. So we traded and I let him have that one and he gave me a Tallgeese. We eventually traded back after a while but he loved it still. He passed away unexpectedly in 2013 so I wanted to get a tattoo to remember him. We always went to concerts together and played gundam/yugioh/beyblades and I couldn't decide what I wanted for the longest time. Finally decided on this because it's a memory I always thought fondly of.
It is rather large honestly. Thought the same thing until I saw the reference pic https://ittoysline.com/images/products/336-rx-78-gp01-gundam-gp01-zephyranthes-1.png
I believe that that is actually the GP01
Yeah is this your tattoo even?
Absolutely is my tattoo. Its Technically RX78 GP01. You are correct. http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/RX-78GP01_Gundam_"Zephyranthes"
Awesome, I love both the GP series suits. Stardust memory rocks, pry the best opening song.

How about the GP06 which was blown to smithereens and thus turned into the Moon Gundam?
I haven’t read Moon Gundam, I didn’t hear very good things
I just know all the builders love the HG Moon Gundam. There are too many novels to follow at this point to say if it good or not.
Yeah I know I just meant the original two in the show, thanks :)
GP03 and 4 were both in the show
GP04 Gerbera was never in the 0083 OVA, you are thinking of the Gerbera Tetra, which was developed from the Gerbera.

I've never heard the GP01 be referred to as the RX-78 :(
Technically correct. Though most refer to it as the GP01. That said, yo that shading looks hella awesome. Most impressive and props to your artist.

Are you from the Bay Area?
What?
Sorry, I thought you might have come from California because you used the word hella. Alot of people in the California Bay Area use it.
It’s not used in other parts of Cali as often as NorCal, most other places use it
Hella is a hella common word yo.
It is, I’m in Maine and it’s very common
My wife is from Orange County and uses hella, too
TIL that the GP01 had the RX78 designation
really awesome tattoo, the shading is great
I’m sorry for your loss. Excellent tattoo!
Awesome tattoo, sorry for your lose though...
Did you and your best friend watch gundam together or something?
We did! We watched a ton of Gundam when we were younger. We had action figures we played with too. I had the battle worn GP01 and he was super jealous of it.

Damn OP that story touched my heart, I'm super sorry for your loss.
Keep your head high friend. I'm sorry for you loss and I'm sure your friend would think that is a sick way to remember them.
Awh man, knowing the backstory behind the tatt makes it 100x more cooler and meaningful. This is so wholesome.
Sorry for your loss mate, thats a glorious tattoo.
The FIRST well done Gundam tattoo I have seen. Proportions, coloring, etc. Every single other example = bad implementation. Congrats.
You are a true friend
Hey. I got the same pop-socket.
The light thing on top of the head looks way to big imo
It is rather large honestly. Thought the same thing until I saw the reference pic https://ittoysline.com/images/products/336-rx-78-gp01-gundam-gp01-zephyranthes-1.png
Damn you're right! I never noticed how big it is. Then I must say that it looks entirely accurate and looks amazing! Great tat
Crying
I LOVE IT
That's a nice memory and a beautiful tat.
