Once the province of sailors and other burly he-man types, skin art’s gone mainstream. Even BioWare’s Greg Zeschuk got an Old Republic tat and that’s guy’s not edgy at all. Tattoos now get seen as just another component of personal style, albeit one that’ll be with you once you get wrinkled and cranky.

So it makes sense that Microsoft’s rolling out tattoos for Xbox avatars. These virtual ink etchings are actually treated like other wearable items and are paired up with tank tops. The selection on the Xbox Avatar Marketplace includes classics like the “Mom” heart tattoo along with tribal patterns, kanji letters and colorful full-sleeves. They range from 160-240 Microsoft points, or $2 to $3, making them the cheapest tattoo you’ll probably ever get.
