Set your faces to palm: Major Nelson's friend gets a Castle Crashers tattoo photo

When one has a tattoo, one needs to pick something tasteful and understated, otherwise one looks like a total tit. Videogame-themed tattoos are difficult to pull off with this in mind. The above picture is a tattoo that did not pull it off.

What you're seeing is indeed a Castle Crashers tattoo, which Major Nelson claims a "co-worker" had done this weekend. As you may observe, it is the four main knights from The Behemoth's popular Xbox Live Arcade title. The person who had this done now has to live the rest of their life with it seared into their arm. It's cute, but it's there forever.

Now if I could just get someone to do my BonerQuest tattoo ...

Well now if that person ever becomes dissatisfied with his/her shapeless lumps of pale flesh they call "biceps" and decides to start working out, the Castle Crasher knights will become disfigured. Great job!

That tattoo is definitely going to fade in a few years.

I'm thinking about getting a Wind Waker tattoo. I've wanted one ever since the game came out, and it stands as one of my favourite games of all time. I WANTS

The color worked out well. Hopefully his skin can retain that for longer than a year.

"You see Jimmy, back when I was just 40 years old, there was this game called Castle Crashers! You played a as little midgets who would fend off other midgets. At the end of the level you would get to make out with a midget princess! Now let me tell you about the game where you played as a midget covered in corduroy..."

I've always wanted to make a Ocarina Of Time tatoo. Something simple and small, like, just the ocarina... Tatoos amaze me, but I didn't like that one very much.

The idea is cool and all, but it looks like shit.

Whoever did it should get a needle in the eye.

HAHA That guy is awesome!

What's it matter what his tattoo is to anyone but him? I'd much rather that than a generic tribal tattoo that seems most popular amongst lower-middle class white guys who haven't had 'tribal' ancestory for the last 4000 years.

You're unlikely to pick a tattoo that everyone likes, but that's besides the point. If you're permanently marking your skin to please others, you're going to be disappointed.

Also, bias acknowledged: I have pacman on one wrist and a ghost on the other (in thick black lines). Eventually they'll be two complete video game sleeves. And when people LOL at me for having LOLVIDEOGAMES tattooed on me, as opposed to a flaming dragon eating a flaming skull that's eating a flaming sword wrapped in a flaming rose with RAPEMURDERDEATHKILLBITCH written under it, I'll be all like YO BITCHES and eat my power pill and kick their ass (read: run like a schoolgirl).

Major Nelson's friend needs to grab some weights, or start jerking off a little harder.

Fat pale dudes with tattoos should never get it on their 'biceps', it just looks bad and shows they are outta shape.

Uh, AMARU, I'm not sure if you were trying to sarcastic or funny or what have you but I'm pretty sure that dot is a skin, well... imperfection... part of his skin.

@Amaru:
Uh.. Have you ever gotten a tattoo? The "Orange" you see is the tattoo bleeding because it's fresh. This isn't something I would get on my arm.
@LukienAkeela:
The color on tattoos fade quickly when they are exposed to sunlight on a regular basis (like tanning, for all you ladies) My fiancee just got a very nice Alice tattoo, and the colors have not faded because she keeps it under sunblock and clothing...

I won't tell you about my VG tattoo. =P Especially after the way everyone reacted to someone's CC one.

the tattoo is nice, I would have gotten something else and in a different spot but to each his own I guess

I'm torn between thinking this is awesome and thinking it's the worst thing ever. Also, there's a joke in here somewhere about his tattoo needing a patch, but I'm too tired to come up with it. Imagine it was hilarious.

@DoomAgent I too would regret getting a tattoo of a game that never existed...

@Drach: Oh definitely, but I would hope they would go over that in the aftercare conversation. I saw a lot of people back in the day whose skin just didn't accept color well.

@Pime Taradox: That was close enough. I laughed.

Small minded people always wanna hate when someone does something they can't comprehend. And yes I'm being an elitist prick but you'll just have to deal with that on top of not having control over other peoples lives and opinions.

The tattoo looks great.

It's one thing to have a permanent tattoo of a temporary passion but does it have to be done so poorly?

Look closely at the orange knight's head and tell me it looks great.

I really liked Castle Crashers. The I finished it and never went back to it. Sadly, that's how most Live Arcade games end up for me.

On a brighter note, I'd never be stoopid enough to get a tattoo of one of them etched into my flesh. So, I have that going for me...

I'd get a Castle Crashers tattoo! I mean, if it wasn't the only one I was ever going to get.

Not that one though. Maybe just a helmet, skull-and-cross or coat-of-arms style.

One of these days I'm gonna get an 8-bit Mario tattoo. I've always thought it would be badass to have the first part of level 1-1 tattooed on one's back but I'm not the type of person to go that far with body modification. I'll settle for my T-Shirt of it.
