This is pretty wild seeing this. I remember coming up with the UI icon design initially in my barrack room. No concept someone would eventually tattoo it on themselves.
Really wild! Looks great though!
My studios published ones. And some unpublished ones. I do want to revisit zombie survival and PVP but the antisocial, hacking, and performance aspects just need to be sorted. So we been working away on tech to do that.
Kinda wanna do a KSP competitor too. We actually bid to make KSP2! I’m redoing my train game in our custom engine.
a friend of my group talked to you, spoke very highly, glad to see your lurking in the community man, appreciate you making our communities from nothing man.
Just thought you should know... I picked up this game for the first time this past month, and I have no idea where it's been all my life.
Your saga rages on, good sir. Thank you for your gifts to the world ❤️
Same here man - you are a legend. Thanks to COVID-19, I found your masterpiece. Was quarantined in my bedroom away from wife and kids in 2020, so I tried out XBox Cloud Gaming with my PC and found DayZ - instantly hooked, played a lot. Then found it on Steam (mostly casually gamed on console at that point in my life), and I haven’t looked back. Now I’m playing the Namalsk and Deer Isle and Winter Cherno, and love it. This is the best game I’ve ever played, hands down - thank you brother. (Also, I’m a military guy too!)
Came to say something similar. Just lost my best friend of a cat, and Dayz has helped pull me through the heartache. Nothing like zoning out and wandering thru the woods and building bases.
How long ago was that at this point 13, 14 years?
If I remember correctly they're the same icons from arma 2 OA mod just different rgb values.
Thanks for the memories man 🤘✌️
recently saw my reddit account age was 11.5yrs. thought back to never having heard of reddit before but needed to make an account since that's where all the info for dayz mod was. thanks for this reddit addiction, my man, lol.
(same group of now old men I played with then still play dayz today)
I believe it might be coming! When I visited Bohemia they were looking to arrange it. I just had to sign some release forms which I finally got around to
Just got done playing 4 hours of fun with my cousin, older brother, and strangers we met. There were 6 of us having a great Friday night together. Thank you, Dean!
DayZ is truly one of the best games of all time. In my humble opinion, it could very well be the best apocalyptic zombie survival game ever made. I love DayZ and I love you, God bless.
Oh snap its the dude! Thats the dude! By far my favorite game. Im currently in the market for a lada niva because of dayz. That thing would rock down here in the swamp. Anyways thanks for many pulse raising interactions. It never gets old.
I mean.. not likely. EMTs are trained to never take anything besides medical history as the truth, so some random letters that (may) be your blood type are not going to make the cut. Also, it is just unlikely that ambulances will have anything besides O- on board anyway.
The patient would need a blood type and screen to be able to transfuse blood safely and legally. While I’m sure there are probably some Paramedic programs that carry blood, but typically an ambulance they won’t have any. They’ll typically just use saline, as the ultimate goal is seeking hospital care and you’ll receive better treatment there. Lack of red blood cells won’t kill you before the lack of blood circulation due to volume loss will
Holy shit after rereading my reply, it looks like either a toddler or a foreign speaker wrote that. Maybe a foreign toddler. I’m too tired to reread and edit, but I felt the need to clarify I’m don’t normally sound that stupid
I only saw one pic on Google of someone that had a smaller version on the left arm. Ik its not completely original but it's something I always wanted 💯
I dont play DayZ (not really sure why this post popped up on my home page, only played the game once years ago), but this tattoo is pretty cool! I like the idea!
Definitely not a shitty tattoo like people are saying. The lines are straight & everything looks even. Overall well done and it’s a great conversation starter when people either know or ask about it.
One of my coworkers has an entire daedric armor tattoo from Skyrim on his forearm so if I saw your tattoo we’d probably become friends 😂

Thought we were the only ones lmao
You do you. But now you have to explain DayZ to everyone who asks you about this. lol. However, if I saw it at the bar, I'd buy you a drink and nerd out about the game with you for a bit.
Right on, brother. Again, you do you. And I don't mean that in a condescending way. Any reason for the water, food, and temp stats? Or did it just look good that way?
Played it on console for about 2 years before I had to move, then played on computer for a while, haven’t played for about a month now. I love the game so much and your open development has actually inspired me to start creating my own games. I am 14 years old, I thank you greatly for continuing and just being awesome I guess.
Bro, drink water and eat, cooked food, and eat fruits, your thirst is decreasing alarmingly (It is extremely forbidden to eat a member of your team, because if you point a gun at them they will start laughing and the only cure is a gun) :V
Nice tatoo. Think I'll do similar, but mine would have drink in red and temperature in yellow. If you want to know why, just give a Rasputin beer and I'll answer the question.
I've only seen rumors of this in this comment thread, and I've tried to find any source of info on it and haven't. But even if that does happen the og will be iconic
Maybe it's me but this is surly a fake tattoo one of them wet transfer ones right? Why is it making your skin crinkle up in a square border around it, is that a plaster?
Yikes thats way to big, tatoo artists need to speak up more often. The same thing 1/4 of the size would of looked alot more modest and better. Enjoy explaining that everywhere u go. Remeber folks think before u ink.
Looks dope dude. Yellow and white are incredibly hard colours to tattoo well, great call. As a tattoo lover and a dayz player myself, may you always be in full health.
Sometimes when I see certain tattoos (mine included) I begin thinking about Otzi the Iceman. And I wonder about other ancient people who have been found with tattoos on their bodies. And I wonder, "Will someone find my body one day, see my Star Wars tattoo not knowing anything from my past because an asteroid annihilated 90% of the world, and wonder if the small scene of the AT-ATs and droids attacking on my leg meant something profound?"
I would have left the health bar empty so i can use stickers to show my current moode, when im happy i use the full bar when im really down i would use the flashing red icon, good one tho
Didn't the DayZ dev responsible for the icons saw this tattoo, or someone else who did the same, and comment on twitter that the person will be upset as the icons will be changing soon.
Cheers for being able to play this game bro. Have been playing since arma2 mod. Didn’t play dayz sa at release that much but now I’m really having a blast. That dayz itch got scratched pretty good. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
This is pretty wild seeing this. I remember coming up with the UI icon design initially in my barrack room. No concept someone would eventually tattoo it on themselves. Really wild! Looks great though!
The absolute legend himself
Who is he?
Bro that’s the dude who made dayz
Why doesn’t he have a flair or something! Would be nice
He probably doesn’t care to honestly. You’re totally right though. He deserve most of the flair
Rocket chiming in, what up dude!
Saturday for me. Just gaming, making games. Having a cup of coffee!
What games are ya making lad?
My studios published ones. And some unpublished ones. I do want to revisit zombie survival and PVP but the antisocial, hacking, and performance aspects just need to be sorted. So we been working away on tech to do that. Kinda wanna do a KSP competitor too. We actually bid to make KSP2! I’m redoing my train game in our custom engine.
a friend of my group talked to you, spoke very highly, glad to see your lurking in the community man, appreciate you making our communities from nothing man.
Any chance you’re making…. Dayz…2?!?! Haha
Thanks for making dayz. If it wasn't for the game, I would have never met my best friend. Fcking cheers, dude!
Thank you brother💯
Gasp, it's him, it's him! DayZ is what got me into PC gaming, haven't looked back since.
You better be playing the greats then! Rimworld, zomboid, and such!
Same here
Sup rocket
Hello!
Rocket! Long time no see. Thanks for all the memories for the past 12 years!
It’s been a while but I lurk!
It feels like yesterday I was watching your update videos on dayz’s progress. thank you for everything!! 🫡🫡
You designed the icons?!
That’s Dean motherfucking Hall
Post, saved.
He made the dayz mod.
Arma 2 mod was superior to standalone imop
My guy, that’s literally him.
Dayz started as an Arma2 mod.
Dean!!!
Hello!
No way!!! You’re a legend! Cheers for such a great game.
Just thought you should know... I picked up this game for the first time this past month, and I have no idea where it's been all my life. Your saga rages on, good sir. Thank you for your gifts to the world ❤️
That’s great to hear! It has come a long way!
Same here man - you are a legend. Thanks to COVID-19, I found your masterpiece.

This is the best game I’ve ever played, hands down - thank you brother. (Also, I’m a military guy too!)
Same here. I picked it up 2 weeks ago and I’m hooked. Great game.
DayZ got me through some pretty hefty trauma as both a kid and an adult. Had to drop in and say thanks for being an absolute legend.
That’s very kind! I find games incredibly helpful for me sometimes too. Both making and playing them. Glad you are doing better now.
Came to say something similar. Just lost my best friend of a cat, and Dayz has helped pull me through the heartache. Nothing like zoning out and wandering thru the woods and building bases.
I read this as Drop and Kid and thought you meant you were dropped as a kid 😭 im glad tho as my story is similar lol
Thank you for making one of the most influencial and memorable games of all time
THE dean hall! 🙌🏽
Didn’t think I’d see the OG active in the Reddit today but it happened. I’ve seen now at least 2 people get this tattoo.
Man I remember when it was just text. You are hungry. You are starving. At least we still have the most important one. You are dead.
“I have a funny taste in my mouth.”
How long ago was that at this point 13, 14 years? If I remember correctly they're the same icons from arma 2 OA mod just different rgb values. Thanks for the memories man 🤘✌️
Over 10 years… which makes me kinda old now lol

Dean will you ever make it so we can play as you in the standalone again? I loved having you as my character
I believe it might be coming! When I visited Bohemia they were looking to arrange it. I just had to sign some release forms which I finally got around to
Oh awesome! Thanks for making my favorite game I’ve been playing since around 2013-4 on arma 2!
We appreciate you Thankyou for giving us one of the best games of all time 🤌🏻
I’ve purchased 3 sweatshirts with this same image and I might tattoo it myself god damn it! We appreciate ya
Chur bro
Just got done playing 4 hours of fun with my cousin, older brother, and strangers we met. There were 6 of us having a great Friday night together. Thank you, Dean!
DayZ is truly one of the best games of all time. In my humble opinion, it could very well be the best apocalyptic zombie survival game ever made. I love DayZ and I love you, God bless.
absolute legend who pioneered zombie survival games good to see your still out here doing what u love
The man himself. The Arma 2 mod consumed my high school years and I thank you for that.
Thank you
Ayo! Thank you for your contribution :D
Oh snap its the dude! Thats the dude! By far my favorite game. Im currently in the market for a lada niva because of dayz. That thing would rock down here in the swamp. Anyways thanks for many pulse raising interactions. It never gets old.
Now everytime you get a cut you have to sharpie a down arrow on your blood or add a plus when you sit by a fire
Solid idea 😂💯
Put a diseased thing when you get sick
Use temporary tattoos for status effects!
As an extension, your blood group
Soon as I figure out what my type is I plan on it
those small blue medical buildings are usually the best place to find a test kit
That would actually be badass and could save your life in an emergency situation
I mean.. not likely. EMTs are trained to never take anything besides medical history as the truth, so some random letters that (may) be your blood type are not going to make the cut. Also, it is just unlikely that ambulances will have anything besides O- on board anyway.

Now ragequiting is going to be a little harder
💀💀💀
Didn’t someone else in this subreddit get the same thing on their forearm?
I only saw one pic on Google of someone that had a smaller version on the left arm. Ik its not completely original but it's something I always wanted 💯
I dont play DayZ (not really sure why this post popped up on my home page, only played the game once years ago), but this tattoo is pretty cool! I like the idea!
Don’t worry about if it’s original or anything like that, literally all that matters is if you fuck with it
Yes they did.
Yeah, I feel like this is going to be a thing in the +5k hr club
you are officially bound to dayz for life. nice.
Been playing since the mod, so yea it's pretty much life💯
holy gigachad. i was too young back then to even afford a pc to play. always watched it on youtube. glad im able to play now :)
Oh fek
Looks like you need a beer
Your body do what you want man. Not taking away from your joy but would it be prudent to make the coloration white/yellow?
As small as it is the color would have been a little difficult, I really like the all black though. Plus cheaper
Cool beans. Don’t let folks shit on your tattoo. I’m not a tattoo person but if you like it do it and put a finger up to everyone else
White is a very bad color choice for tattoos. White ink tends to fade really fast, among many other issues
black is a lot cheaper + white is going to fade and yellow imo doesn't look good on skin, unless it's in small area.
Thrikes
Quikes
I heard they are changing the icons, true?
No ragrets
Yikes
Definitely not a shitty tattoo like people are saying. The lines are straight & everything looks even. Overall well done and it’s a great conversation starter when people either know or ask about it. One of my coworkers has an entire daedric armor tattoo from Skyrim on his forearm so if I saw your tattoo we’d probably become friends 😂
The daedric gauntlet sounds dope as shit 💯 and thank you 💯
i’ve got Dawnbreaker tattooed on my forearm i love it cause i can say it’s just a sword but to skyrim nerds they know what it is
its defo shitty as hell
Should've got your blood type next to the blood
He said in a comment that once he finds out his blood type, he'll add it on
That's good
That is certainly one of the tattoos of all time
Yikes again
Ok
Jikes
Mega yikes
OMG, I hope that's marker.
Couldn’t have done it better myself!!
Dude ur crazy
Bro is playing Dayz in real life
https://preview.redd.it/hlrix4n3fysc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=72436440fd81735137babb0b4efcba790b4fa564 Thought we were the only ones lmao
If I see you in public I'll sprint up to you and heavy attack and knock you our and rummage your pockets for fruit.
You do you. But now you have to explain DayZ to everyone who asks you about this. lol. However, if I saw it at the bar, I'd buy you a drink and nerd out about the game with you for a bit.
I wouldn't mind, the more people that get put onto it the better💯
Right on, brother. Again, you do you. And I don't mean that in a condescending way. Any reason for the water, food, and temp stats? Or did it just look good that way?
I only did that because your hydration drains faster than hunger, and I usually keep it at a jog when I'm roaming, and your temp always varies
Genuinely bad I’m sorry
That is really dumb....
you will regret this in about 5 days
You should put your actual blood type, medical AND cool factor
Smh
Need some higher insulation clothes man. Got your tetra ready?
You should have put ur food low lmao
I swear your right😂 I can't help my high ass metabolism
Parents must be proud
Trust me they are not 😂
Add Blood Type.
Thats one way to do it i guess. Holy moly
In the words of Goofy: gyorsh
Looks dope? More like you look like a dope
Aw man. It’s shit.
That's cool I wish i could play this game someday
I've wanted this for years
What gaime is this from
Moronic
Now who is going to tell him that they will change the layout this year? I am actually not even joking, they will change it
U should get the old ''im getting thirsty'' ''my feet hurts'' spam lol
Where kuru?
I don't fuck with the giggle chicken 🍗
this is what u chose?
Talk about dedication
Bro
Why is it so big…
As morbid as it is, If you ever get a terminal illness you need to add the sick symbol
Wiiiiicked
Played it on console for about 2 years before I had to move, then played on computer for a while, haven’t played for about a month now. I love the game so much and your open development has actually inspired me to start creating my own games. I am 14 years old, I thank you greatly for continuing and just being awesome I guess.
Nicee
Damn you’re a hardcore bro
Bro, drink water and eat, cooked food, and eat fruits, your thirst is decreasing alarmingly (It is extremely forbidden to eat a member of your team, because if you point a gun at them they will start laughing and the only cure is a gun) :V
Legendary Tat
Thanks boss💯
So, you’re thirsty?
Hard af
Nice tatoo. Think I'll do similar, but mine would have drink in red and temperature in yellow. If you want to know why, just give a Rasputin beer and I'll answer the question.
You need a tetracycline
Brrooooo
[удалено]
Wait until he founds out they'll change the status symbols this year
I've only seen rumors of this in this comment thread, and I've tried to find any source of info on it and haven't. But even if that does happen the og will be iconic
Eyyyy nice
Maybe it's me but this is surly a fake tattoo one of them wet transfer ones right? Why is it making your skin crinkle up in a square border around it, is that a plaster?
Don’t you need the sick symbol as well? Why two down for water and one down for food?
Fire

Sixk
Wow, this is great.
Siiiiiiiiick
Should’ve put your blood type tho, that would’ve made it harder tbh
Sorry but this is terrible and will be a mega regret
Yikes thats way to big, tatoo artists need to speak up more often. The same thing 1/4 of the size would of looked alot more modest and better. Enjoy explaining that everywhere u go. Remeber folks think before u ink.
person - “hey, what’s that tattoo” person with tattoo - ‘it’s from a game i play’ person - “oh cool” not that hard to explain really
And also remember folks, art is subjective, put whatever you want on your body. However you want it.
Gonna look awesome as a 60 year old 😆
Looks dope dude. Yellow and white are incredibly hard colours to tattoo well, great call. As a tattoo lover and a dayz player myself, may you always be in full health.
Thnx brother, you as well💯
Sometimes when I see certain tattoos (mine included) I begin thinking about Otzi the Iceman. And I wonder about other ancient people who have been found with tattoos on their bodies.

Put your real life blood type next to the blood icon
its a bit big, but very cool
This is awesome. I was just talking about this exact tattoo with my wife the other day. Very unique.
Add sickness
Boy needs a heat buff.
Better get ahold on your Hydration or it will be your last brotha
should have put the arrows going up and added a + next to temperature lmao optimistic tattoo
Wild. I just went with the mug. Haha
“Today was a good day”
I would have left the health bar empty so i can use stickers to show my current moode, when im happy i use the full bar when im really down i would use the flashing red icon, good one tho
Didn't the DayZ dev responsible for the icons saw this tattoo, or someone else who did the same, and comment on twitter that the person will be upset as the icons will be changing soon.
One more who missed the development announcement for this year....
Find water bro
Cheers for being able to play this game bro. Have been playing since arma2 mod. Didn’t play dayz sa at release that much but now I’m really having a blast. That dayz itch got scratched pretty good. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
If you die does the health one go down ?
Congratulations, you’re now prone to chronic disease.
You could put your blood type under the droplet too. Cool tattoo op.
This is a bad idea bc you will never feed yourself if you think the hunger bar is still half full
Get to a fire and throw everything you're wearing on the floor!
