Check This Awesome Mirror's Edge Tat

My First Gaming Tattoo
Since I started writing for Kotaku I've been exposed to sides of gaming culture I was never really aware of. Game cakes, game crochet, papercraft...all ways for the more creative and skilled of us to express their dedication to our great passion, but what about those of us without mad crafting skills? I could probably pull off a game cake of the Adventure hero sans arrow sword, or fold up some origami throwing stars and toss them at my cats, pretending I am Ryu Hayabusa, but it wouldn't be the same. Luckily for the unskilled (and perhaps slightly unbalanced) of us, there is another way. The gaming tattoo. Armed with the knowledge provided me by Flynn's excellent feature back in January of this year, I decided it was time to make long sleeve shirts a requirement for job interviews for the rest of my life and get inked.

Ink Meets Flesh: A Gaming Tattoo Primer
Years ago, tattoos were considered quite the taboo for normal folk. They were usually reserved for the likes of bikers, thugs, sailors and circus sideshow performers. In the last ten to fifteen years, tattooing has become de rigueur amongst the alternative set, slowly spreading its inky wings to a larger part of the general populous. Even more recently, a certain subset of the gaming community has gotten on board the tattoo train and begun immortalizing their favorite video game icons on their skin, permanently embedding their love of the medium into their skin.

The Power Glove Tattoo
Sometimes video game tattoos just make me laugh (with them and not at them) and this is definitely one of those cases. I certainly wouldn't choose this as a tattoo for myself, but more power to the person who got it on whatever unnameable body part this happens to be (my guess is calf). The inclusion of the "It's so bad" at the bottom takes this from highly questionable to actually pretty funny if not a little odd. Still, it's really well done and the electricity looks great. More »

The Zelda Sleeve Tattoo: The Beginning
Some of you may remember Sam Mullin and his kick ass Nintendo/Mario sleeve tattoo. Back when we first posted it, Sam had mentioned that he would soon be getting a Zelda sleeve on the other arm and well, it looks like he's started the process! Already present are Link, Princess Zelda and Ghoma, with Gannon and others yet to come. The tattoo work is being done by Daniel Innes , the same artist from the Mario piece and if this new one turns out as good as the last one, it's bound to be great. More »

The Mega Man Tattoo
Kotakuite Aronn sent in this picture of his brand spankin' new Mega Man tattoo that his sister got him for his birthday. I have to say I am really impressed with the precision with which this was rendered. It is pixel perfect and looks quite sharp. You don't see a lot of really well done 8-bit tattoos and this one definitely makes the grade. Congratulations Aronn, you've got a keeper! Not that you'd have much choice...

The Nintendo 3/4 Sleeve Tattoo
Ah, the ever present gaming tattoo. Some are good, some are bad and some are just meh. This one however is pretty damned cool and extremely well executed. The guy (A faithful Kotakuite by the name of Sam) is apparently going to have a Zelda themed sleeve on the other arm and eventually Metroid piece on his chest. He also plans on going back and finishing the Mario sleeve to the wrist. That's an awful lot of ink on such a skinny arm. How did they fit that all on there? Impressive! Make the jump for a few more shots. More »

The NES Pad Tattoo
Game tattoos come and go with varying degrees of technical prowess. Being a heavily tattooed gentlemen myself, I feel I'm qualified enough to pass opinion on other works and I must say, this one is quite well done. The only part I question is the Nintendo logo, but with the quality of the picture and bend of the arm, it's kind of hard to tell how well it's done. I am impressed that they added in the cord and the plug since usually you just see the controller itself. According to the bbps where this picture originated, this is just the start of what will eventually be a full game tattoo sleeve. One can only imagine what further video game wonders will adorn this disembodied arm. -

Wow. Not really a whole lot to say about this one. I'm sure some of you will find this extremely sexy while others of you will find it distasteful.

Wait, those are the vanilla ones, never mind. now there is officially nothing in this picture to interest me. More »

The Konami Code Tattoo
Shannon over at ModBlog has posted this pic of a young lady's rather saucily placed tattoo that I'm sure will make some of you a bit overexcited and still others of you go "Um...why?" While I appreciate the sentiment behind the Konami code part, I feel kind of bad for her that she will have to go through life with that rather poorly done Gameboy right where every boyfriend and or girlfriend will have to be faced with it every time they want to get "biz-ay".

Katamari Tattoo Goodness
Moontasticmel loves Katamari Damacy. Loves it so much in fact that she has decided to get a half sleeve Katamari themed tattoo! She has posted a bunch of photos of the piece in progress on her Livejournal page and I gotta say, it looks pretty great. As you can see from the photo, it's not quite finished yet, but judging by the portion that's already done, the completed piece is going to be a beauty. LOVE the donuts. Nice work! More » -
