When I was 16, my best friend tried to convince me to get a tattoo of Tweety Bird holding a shotgun glaring menacingly with bloodshot eyes. He swore this summed up in one indelible image my entire personality. He may have been right, but I demurred. He then suggested that I get a urinating Calvin flipping the bird tattooed on my left buttock, just like on the mud flap of a truck. Maybe it was just something about the way he earnestly suggested I get a micturating six year old tattooed on my ass, but that was the day I became officially creeped way out by his friendship and we stopped being B.F.F.s.

Still, it could scarcely have been as stupid as some of the video game tattoos we've been seeing lately. First, this tattoo on the shoulder of a dumpy Eve Online player, which looks like he got it at a combination tattooing school and clown college. And now, this guy's overly elaborate Castlevania tattoo.

I'm really not sure Dracula's supposed to look that smuggly effeminate, guy, but I'll admit, it could just be you posing half-naked in front of the bathroom mirror that makes me think homoeroticism. Florian Eckhardt
