Behold a pimply legendary Halo back tat

     Fanboys

Oh, the humanity. After enough crystal meth I'm sure this sounded like a cool idea, but you've gotta imagine him looking like a crossbow target walking down the beach. Nevertheless a truly dedicated Halo fan "GothicSlayer" on the  has revealed to the Bungie.org forums the first stages of a massive Halo tattoo he's about to painfully undertake. Attached are high res photos of the handywork and the intended end result. That's gotta hurt the wallet and the legendary zits.

So what kind of response did he get from his kinsmen? Fellow Halo fanboys are thus far very approving, but one guy actually suggested it was wasted real estate on a n00b FPS.  He was later shunned by the lot of them for being a CounterStrike peddler. No matter how dorky this is or how geniunely concerned we are that he's marked himself a virgin for the rest of his life, we salute Mr. Slayer for being extremely hardcore ... to a fault.

That is gonna look horrible in a few decades when he has liver spots and fatty wrinkles, then it will look like George Burns.

I think a shorter version would have looked cooler, it's got sort of a Zergling thing going

I have a totally awesome idea for a gaming tattoo that I've wanted to do for years. I'm not going to tell it to any of you until I finally get it. It's a secret to everybody.

I really hope that tattoo is more centered than it appears to be in this picture...

I've been pondering if I should get this one tattoo for years. It's the cover logo for the Fina Fantasy X OST. I think it's also the menu picture for the game, too. It's one of those stylistic Final Fantasy logos they use for all the games, where you see Yuna doing the Sending. It looks badass, and would only cost me $175 with color. I'm just too much of a pussy to go through the pain.

The only videogame tattoo I would ever consider getting is the triforce design. Nice, simple, and more to the point - subtle.
