While it looks like Deadmau5 may have trolled everyone waiting for a PlayStation Vita with his whole lost-not-lost prank concerning Sony's upcoming handheld, we think we can believe him that he's gotten a hell of a new gaming tattoo. (There are videos.)
Over the weekend, he appears to have cajoled newly-minted VGA hall-of-famer Shigeru Miyamoto to sign his forearm and then get it permanently etched into his epidermis via professional tattoo. Mr. Maus spun at the VGAs on Saturday night and had occasion to meet Miyamoto-san at the event.
One Sharpie signature + a timely visit to a needle artist = the envy of every hardcore Nintendo fan. Seems like he'll need a Fumito Ueda autograph to balance things out, right?
He's got other gaming tattoos already. There's rendition of a Minecraft creeper face and Space Invaders alien on his body. The DJ is definitely into the gaming scene. He was attached to Activision's DJ Hero 2 and he'll have tunes featured in Sound Shapes, the Vita's platformer/music creation hybrid being made by Jonathan Mak of Everyday Shooter fame. On top of that, he DJs with a mouse head that's got Space Invaders, Minecraft pigs, and Pac-Man on it, among other things.
