Timeless chick-magnet Guitar Hero tattoo photo

Seeing tattoos like this makes me wonder if there's some user-friendly shortcut filter in Photoshop I'm not aware of, whereby people can make vector images look like actual tattoos with minimal effort. Because if not, that means someone spent entirely too much time in Adobeland for the purpose of a bad joke.

Or worse, that someone -- out there somewhere -- actually did this dumb sh*t to themselves.

How do you convince yourself that's a good idea?

I think that's fake, judging by the redness of the skin in the center. It doesn't really follow the lines. And the O in "Hero" coloring looks strange. Still, why would you waste the time...?

Guitar Hero can be hella' fun but this is either a huge waste of time and/or money. It was good for a cackle, though.

Wow. Nothing says sexy like promoting one of the most overdone franchises in video gaming.

I'd like to belive it's fake, but I don't have quite that much faith in humanity.

I really hope they didn't get that tattoo in the GH1/2 era, before Harmonix left the franchise.

It's like someone getting a Family Guy tattoo after its short initial run on Fox. Then when it comes back and gets ridiculously popular and formulaic... "Aw shit."

But you just know there are Family Guy tattoos out there, and that's probably not the only Guitar Hero one, either.

That's only the first in a whole planned sleeve. Rock Band, Band Hero, and DJ hero are up next.

No gaming tattoo is any less stupid than any other.

I fucking love gaming tattoos! As long as they're a little more original than the triforce logo, a 1up mushroom, or mr.guitar hero man here.

I've got Solid Snake bumming Sonic on my forearm. It's sort of my Brawl protest piece.

I just stopped by to say that Topher is handsome and charming, and that posting spam links in his comments is very naughty. You wouldn't have wanted the miserable shit I was trying to peddle anyway.

when i see stupid tattoo's i'm so glad i spent months deciding on each of mine.

Literally months of looking at the image daily, putting it on in ink, checking i was totally sure i wanted them.

Not taking the logo from my favourite game and whacking it on there.

Dumb ass.

I wanted a tattoo since I was 10 years old, then waited until I was 23 before actually getting it since I really really wanted to be sure it would not turn out to be something like this :p

If I had to tatoo my arms they would be covered in bullet hell patterns. Right hand would have the classic Galaga spaceship and the left would have a Twinbee.

also , I would cost me about 1500$ for each arm which is out of the question.

Even I, infamous defender of all music games ever, weep.

Not because it's Guitar Hero. Oh no. It's because it looks like shit. It could've had an epic battle of metal all up his arm with Judy Nails, and Pandora, and Axel Steel, and the rest duking it out with the power of rock with flames and skills and shit.

Isn't anyone creative anymore?

I don't understand the concept of "entirely too much time" on any given task, on a gaming website. By the same token, any hobby is a waste of time, which also makes gaming a COMPLETE waste of time because nothing at all is produced, other than probably a high score.

Lame. My Guitar Hero tattoo is way better.
I can't post a picture, but let's just say it's based on my favorite Rule 34 art of the game and involves the female characters re-drawn to have massive penises. And I'll leave it at that.

So instead of just grabbing your ankles for Activision and getting it over quick you gave them your arm instead?

PixelJam.com) as well this evening. Oh, so sweet!
