Gamer ink mega-post

I'm a fan of tattoos and obviously a fan of videogames. So it goes without saying I'm a fan of videogame inspired ink. We've all seen our fair share of triforce tattoos, but there's a lot of games out there to draw from. And some of the results look downright kick-ass. Most of these I've never seen on other videogame sites, so hopefully you're seeing these for the first time!

Of this group my favorite has to be Princess Peach as the Virgin Mary, it looks cool but it's just an awesome idea. The Hyrulian sword from Zelda is a little on the large side, don'cha think?

holy jeez that zelda sword is huge. Seems a little over the top. I doubt I'll ever get a tattoo but some of that art just looks amazing

Funny--I've seen almost all of these on other sites (among others, BME's Modblog and a couple Livejournal communities). It might be nice to credit the original sources.

Most of these I've gotten via email from readers.

Here are two different Livejournal tattoo communities. Here's BME's Modblog. Here are a few blogs that did the game-tattoo roundup before this one, and here's a post where some of the LJ gamingtattoo folks discuss this very issue.

I found this website doing a search and came across my own tattoo here!

Mine is the large Triforce above the "Stick To Your Guns" And below the phoenix-triforce.

The tattoo was done by Jess Rocha at Red House tattoo in Buffalo, New York. She's a fantastic artist.

I have been reading here for a while now and thought it would only be fair to register and contribute instead of being a silent reader. So – I am looking forward to be a full part of the community!

Take care!

The chick with the green Space Invaders tattoos is f*cking hideous. She has an ugly forehead, she lacks eyebrows, and she has an ugly nose. The hot red-haired chick with the 1-Up mushroom tattoo needs to kick her ass.
