Re:Retro

Taking passion for video games to another level

by Joel on August 5th, 2008

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.

    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.
