This is the best or worst Mortal Kombat tattoo ever photo

I can't decide if this is the best or worst Mortal Kombat tattoo ever made. What do you say? At the very least, it's better than this Street Fighter tattoo.

Just ... wow.

Sometimes the best tattoo in the world is still the worst idea in the world.

That's the coolest/weirdest thing I've ever seen... Never a dull moment whenever I come to Destructoid.

I remember seeing an article on Dtoid about how the MK series is a big piece of fail...

So yeah what Andy said.

No.

This coupled with the fact that this guy missed a great oppurtunity to tatoo an actual Fatality is disheartening.

Fail.

@Pixelated Lilac: Oh thank god, I thought I was the only one who was thinking that! :D

Good idea, bad tattoo.

can't finish someone if they're not in a dizzy state.

would've been a cool tatt if:

- instead of Finish him, it said FINISH HER with either a random MK female or something else female related to "finishing her"

- Replace FINSIH HIM with FIGHT. but then at that point, this tatt wouldn't be interesting.

- if the tatt never even took place.

2 options this guy screwed up on.

1) There is no dazed guy for a fatality, nor is there a fatality occurring.

2) He could of had scorpion do his fatality and have 'toasty' written instead.

What's with that guy's proportions? Or is it Just the camera angle?

The "FINISH HIM" refers to the actual guy, not the terrible tat.
Kind of like the old 'Kick Me" sign on the back...
Go ahead, finish him.

Whoever did the actual tattoo is very talented, but I bet that guy is going to eventually regret having it permanently inked on his back for the rest of his life.

There's somebody over the age of 15 that likes Mortal Kombat this much? Seriously? Surely he plays better games than Mortal Kombat that he could base a tattoo off of. I refuse to believe Mortal Kombat is ANYONE'S favorite video game.

I was just about to say either that's a dude with curves or a very dudely lady.

the fatalities are probably just as hard to tattoo as they are to pull off in the game.

The fact that the tattoo has been done with the modern ish character designs in mind tells me something.

This asshole familiarized himself with Mortal Kombat way the hell after it's heyday.

So this is obviously "worst".

I love how people will be pointing out to him for the rest of his life that the participants aren't even in a fatality situation. Also, what's "FINISHHIM"?

Man, that's going to cost a fortune to get removed when that guy realizes he can't turn 50 with a Mortal Kombat tattoo all over his back.

Just thought I'd post to say that that Street Fighter tattoo isn't real. Jared Rea did it as a joke.

I won't knock him for being that into Mortal Kombat since that falls into personal taste. He likes it, then I think it was a pretty cool idea, if that works for him.
But I've got a few tats and I feel bad for the dude, because whoever did the actual inking did an only average at best job.
He should have looked around, there are tatters out there could have made it better. Nothing more tragic to me than someone wanting to permanently mark their body with something special to them, and it's a half ass job on the inkers part.
Finish him, indeed.

If I ever get a MK tattoo, it's gonna be this one right here.



I'd get hit on by guys who misunderstood its meaning, but fuck. It would be worth it.

That tattoo is pretty awful, yes. Regarding the SF tattoo though, I think the website reporting that one failed, because that is indeed the command for a shoryuken, and what they describe is the command for a hadouken. Shame on them.

Actually, I take that back. I'm stupid.
