This is the best pair of fantastic things since gaming shoes.

ouch!
tatoo looks pretty nice..
some detail would make it alot better.

...why.

why the ass? i can think of 100 places better. not something you want to show your buddies

Sorry, but HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Ok. But in all seriousness, its decent looking. Just not a great place to put it.

Better than Bob-Omb balls, I guess.

Sweet! I can just imagine him walking up to his buddies and saying, "Hey guys, check this out..."

He must like Konami as well, I swear I could see Raiden in the middle.

wowzers

you forgot the letter M in Mario and L for Luigi. people will think you got to mario's. i can't believe it on ass, watch for those power bombs its a dozy.

@Maaxxx:
thats what i ment with details,
they forgot the spots on toad to...
guess its just a half-ass job ;)

now that's what i call plumber's ass!

Doesn't matter what or where it is. Wen it's about tattoos there's always some twat that knows it better. Useually don't have any tattoo's themselves either.

Well, I would think getting a tat on your ass would be a bad idea, because you have to endure all the peeling that happens the first couple of weeks... *shrug*

And Birdo's on the front.

@Cchrist: I am ofcourse reffering to anyone that says "Why did he put it on his ass? That's stupid!"

We'll as the answer useually is with tattoo's: Because he wanted to. Since when did you need to have a reason to get inked?

It's his own fucking body so who the fuck are you to judge? Hell he could have a picture of the queen on there for all i care. His body not yours.

@vln:
Geez, you always this crank-..... wait a minute, I see what you did there. Kudos!

CAN'T UNSEE IT!
I wonder if he farts lakitus....

That is the most I have ever looked at a man's ass. Thank you Kotaku ,thank you.

Nice tattoo , I cant say that location is ideal.Maybe his job required him putting it somewhere hidden?

@KirbySS: Great balls of fire!
The thought alone made me lol.

@Cchrist: Bloody hell, calm down there, buddy.

@KirbySS: Although his response might be a little...ornery... I do completely understand where he's coming from with that.

I always get questions as to 'why did I get that', 'why did I get that there' or shit like that and people will actually mean it in a bad way. Apparently, people think they have a say so in what I do with my body and it seriously pisses me off when they do that.

So, Cchrist, I'm with you on this one, bub.

well whenever i am strapped for cash and need more motivation to get out there to earn more i will think that some people make enough money to spend it on ass tats... :/

@KirbySS: Oh i'm calm :) just used a bit too many fucks. Just don't like it when people don't show respect.

@Meuacan: Thats what i meant. :D And this is coming from someone with a huge Alkaline Trio logo on his leg. The looks on people's faces are sometimes unbelieveable.

It's just one of those moments where the internet lets you down because it doesn't understand the tone of your voice :) i just swear alot in general and sometimes it comes out here.

Does no one notice that this is some of the best tattoo art seen on the site yet? The artist must have been a gamer. Except for the odd smoke on the right cheek, the details are dead on (Toad's spots, Mario and Luigi's letters are usually drawn just as color).

As for the tattoo debate, no one is stopping you from getting these tattoos, you have the freedom if you want. What people are trying to do is show you an idea you might not of thought of yet.

You might say "I don't care what everyone else says", which is understandable to some degree, but if you flip off your friends for their ideas, you're kind of an antisocial asshole who probably doesn't want to hear people talk anyway?

Who wants a Moustache riiddeee??

@TheTheTheTheWhat:Thats not what i meant. I was talking about after a tattoo is done.

See, regardless of placement; this ink is full of win on two grounds.

Bowser on his pimpmobie fighting Mario over a crack.

I don't even know how to sort this visual stimulation...ow.

Pounding more colour into his ass???

I'm sure that's been ripped from some other kind of website...

Stupid.

I read ''ass'' and I clicked on the news headline.... then I read ''his'' and rolled in my own misery T_T

Nice tattoo....... (Yes... once inside, I had too look at it... I'M A MONSTER!)

I hope he gets raped with a Magic Mushroom.

@Horseflesh: What? That's not very nice dude!

I know we're all very manly and such here on Kotaku, but lets be honest for a second. That is a fantastic man ass.
Agreed?

@Cchrist: You're right. I should have gone for not very nice AT ALL. The man gave himself Marioass for the love of god.

The only way he can possibly redeem himself is by saying "I have to go take a Poodooboo" every time he needs a BM.

Buddy: hey stop cheating!

Tat dude: too bad you suck at playin brawl..stop picking kirby, u got no shot!

Buddy: Ok you give me no choice!

Tat dude:what?!

Buddy: I'm gonna get Mario on your ass!

Tat dude: (pulls pants down) too late buddy.

"Since when did you need to have a reason to get inked?"

Apparently, you don't need any reason anymore, seeing how much proliferation there's been of these.

If this guy is anything like my brother, he'll have no problem "showing off" his tattoos to anyone who wants to see them, and even some people who don't.

At least his butt isn't hairy like my brother's, though.

Time for another Good Idea Bad idea

Good Idea:
Wearing a T-Shirt with Mario on it.

Bad Idea:
Getting Mario tattooed on your butt.

The End

Why must I see another guys ass in the morning? :( I hope this doesn't set the tone for the rest of my day.

the random shading is throwing me off, and why is there only 1 patch of color? i mean if he wanted to return to get it colored, he shouldnt have gotten it shaded...

@pandafresh: Maybe he's doing an arty Sin City style tattoo.

Can't...take....my eyes....off...mario

@Dyll: 'Fantastic Man-Ass'? Wow that has to be the quote of the day.....wait it is only 6am....geez

Im really confused why a guy would get a tattoo on his ass. I mean with a girl at least if she goes to the beach/swimming she can wear a thong and people can see.

Even if a guy wears a speedo (which they shouldn't) it's going to be have obscured.

With a girl a tattoo on her ass there will be certain times when her boyfriend will be looking at it of course. I can't think of any positions where a girl would really see a guys naked ass though. Apart from just walking around naked.

So yea I don't get who this tattoo is for O.o; I mean it's not like he will have an easy time seeing it himself either. I can't even begin to imagine how bad the reactions from girls you were with would be either. I don't think laughter/what the hell is that? are the responses you want from pulling your pants down.

Not to mention as you grow older that area is going to sag a lot more than other areas lol

It's a shame because it's actually a pretty nice looking tattoo. Would love to know the guys reason for the placement.

This is awesome work. Makes me wonder what's up with all the ink articles lately. IGN Gear has one on some guy's awesome Spidey ink:

[gear.ign.com]

He should have had the characters on each cheek facing each other, because it's divided into good guys vs bad guys already. Make them look like they're ready to rumble!

I think it's funny that he got these done in Canada while wearing boxers that say 'America'.

Also, Kotaku, when are you gonna post MY gamer tat!?

I sent the pics to Fahey almost a week ago.

don't go down that pipe, Mario!

What a shitty tattoo!

OH GOD THE ZINGERS

Woo! That works better than coffee! Good morning.

@Cruithne: *chokegiggle* Orly.

I think this post is great. MORE MEN'S BUTTOCKS, LESS JUBBLIES.

:) Equal opportunties, guys!

PS. The tattoo looks strangely awesome for such a strange place.
