A few months ago, we posted about
a Legendary(?) Halo tattoo. Well, here's another one: same theme, different stretch of skin (and this one appears to be half finished), sent in by Ryan C., who says the lucky tattooee is a 'friend's older brother.' We've actually mentioned this one
before while it was still in the linework phase, filed under 'Just say NO to Halo tattoos.' I've flirted with the
idea of adding a game related tattoo to my collection, but never been quite comfortable with having something that fleeting permanently inked on my body. Still, this one seems to be shaping up quite nicely if you're into that sort of thing.

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.

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.

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.

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.
