Dear moron who tattooed a PS3 logo on his arm ... photo

Dear moron,

Thank you for providing a snapshot of stupidity for the gaming public, something we can use as a visual representation of purest idiocy. Before, we could only use metaphors to describe the imbecilic way in which people align themselves with a particular games machine, but now we have you. 

Also, you do realize that as happy as you may be about having "PS3" tattooed on your arm right now, you are going to feel like a complete and utter penis when the PlayStation 4 is released, right? I mean, seriously, people are going to laugh at you even more than they do now.  I know how you will answer this, because you've already preempted me in your video chronicling this rampant act of foolishness:

"How is this really any different from any other tattoo people get done? It's my life, my choice. and I find people hating me for doing something that effects them in no way at all. i think that says a lot about the society we currently live in."

Let me answer, because it's Saturday morning, and there's nothing else to do. Firstly, it's different from other tattooes in that it will upset you in about ten years' time when the PS3 is but an afterthought. Also I don't hate you, I applaud you. What you have done says a lot about the society we currently live in. Also also aaaalso, that "it's my life," crap is something hippies say to make themselves feel better about being hippies. Thank you for encapsulating it perfectly.

Oh, and the tattoo looks rubbish as well.

He should have made it like the actual PlayStation 3 logo on the machine so it could go up his entire arm

Why couldn't he have used the Spider-Man/PS3 font? This is just weird.

Thanks to my eyes often playing tricks on me I thought it said PEZ on his arm, as in dispenser. I like the idea of that.

At the end of the day i dont think its what your tattoo is of, just that it looks good which this most certainly doesn't.

He should have least put the logo on a giant snake wrapped around a naked chick on fire, on a motorcycle. I would be more forgiving if that were the case.

I just realized if you look at it upside down, it says 'ESA'... I didn't know the Employment Standards Administration had such diehard fans.

I think its a bit harsh to hate on the guy, but then again he did send it in WITH a video talking about how people hate on him so he must have known it was going to happen here...
I myself do think its a fucking stupid idea of a tattoo, if you're going to get a tattoo get the red rings of death on your forehead or something... thats where it at.

"because it's Saturday morning," is always the most valid of excuses.

When do you get your Koei tat done?

Because your a fucking idiot. It's also why you get a 'feeling' everytime you see you roll over in bed and stare at your naked sister.

What the hell man? Don't bash the guy because he got a tattoo that was a symbol of his love of gaming, particularly the PS3.

Tattoos are a bad idea in general because their coolness tends to expire in a matter of years. Still, it IS his body and you shouldn't bash him for your personal beliefs on tattoos.

We don't make fun of you because you're fat, Jim. It's your body and you can do what you want with it.

"Still, it IS his body and you shouldn't bash him for your personal beliefs on tattoos."

I don't mind tattoos. I've seen some good ones. They can be attractive if done right. This was not done right.

"We don't make fun of you because you're fat, Jim."

Haha, you're joking, right? 99.9% of the people who don't like my writing do that. Which is their right, if it's the best they've got.

As soon as I saw this pop up in my RSS reader, I knew it'd be a post from Jim. Honestly though, I thought the same thing when I saw it; that tattoo was a foolish decision.

It doesn't even look like the logo. That man will be both pitied and loathed for the rest of his life.

It's not even the correct font, so he loses most of any "retro appeal" the PS3 might have in the future. Personally, I could see someone getting a PS2 tattoo, since it was one of the best consoles made, right below the SNES, but this is like getting a Sega Saturn tattoo: just why?

Also: someone say hippie?

Yeah, if I had an SNES tattoo, I'd be pretty proud of it... I wouldn't feel like a dipshit just because there's a newer console out. But PS3? I don't think that console has proven itself to be tattoo-worthy quite yet.

If you're going to tattoo a brand logo on your body for the world to see, wouldn't you want, I don't know... the brand logo?

I'd laugh everytime someone looks at it upside down and asks him what the hell the ESA is. Or assumes he's an employee of the Electrical Standards Authority.

at least he'll be able to 'adapt' it when the PS8 comes out :-)
