Taking passion for video games to another level

I’m talking about video game fanatics who choose to immortalize their favorite video game characters through tattoos. Check out these amazing images:

Personally, I wouldn’t go that far. Posters, floor tiles, accessories are more my thing than having my skin pierced by needles just to make a statement that I love Mario.

    Ewww!!! Not the nicest, just think you have to live with them for the rest of your life? Not good.

    I have three tattoos. My fourth one is definitely going to be game related; probably Mega Man.

    Hehe wouldn’t be nice to have a little winking pickachu on the back of your shoulders? Hahaha. I was thinking about that way back in my pokemon gaming years.

    When I was younger, I had been toying with the idea of getting a tattoo. Now that I’m a little bit older—and wiser—I am actively choosing not to get one. I just don’t like the thought of having a hell of a time finding ways to remove it in the future. :p

    If I were to get one, though, it would be Lara Croft, Orchid (of Killer Instinct) or Cammy (of Street Fighter).

    I have been wanting a gaming related tattoo for quite some time now, but I can never think of anything I like that’s small and tasteful. I think the key to getting a tattoo you like is to pick one out and wait a year or so. If you still like it in a year then get it.

  1. [...] screams Retro Gaming Fanatic more than apparel, t-shirts to be exact. Well, except for tattoos, which I consider as extreme fanaticism. Anyway, going back to the topic, I’ve found great [...]
