We dub thee: Team Adorablesocks! photo

Gaming tattoos are the new thick-rimmed glasses. They're an outwardly visible expression of inner-geekery that immediately identifies one as the sort who could sit for hours discussing the varied merits of the Tanuki Suit versus, say, oral herpes. Such tattoos also set a person apart as a distinct breed of geek; the kind who mixes Ramones albums in with their Final Fantasy OSTs, and who might actually laugh when you make a joke about Malfurion's antlers. In short, these people are my favorite kind of people.

With that in mind, in bring you the above picture. It's of a bit of recent inkwork attached to the leg of Livejournal user 'yevon'. The Cactuar is the older piece, while the Pikachu is the newer addition, and the both of them together make a formidable duo that I have dubbed: Team Adorablesocks!

Perhaps, I'm sure it's not all that bulbous, really.

Cactaur I get, but a pokemon? Did we make this decision at age 8 and then contractually bind ourselves to the tat back then?

At least it's a good rendition. One of the reasons I'd never get a tattoo, is because I wouldn't trust anyone enough to do something like that on me. I'd luck out and get the retard who flunked art college and he's using the tattoo parlor as his way to get accreditation.

"What is that? It looks like Miss Piggy."
"It's actually Master Chief battling Mario."
"No, it looks like Miss Piggy... fucking Insane Clown Posse in a dumpster."
"Yeah, I know..."

I have an Incredible Hulk tattoo. He was in a couple video games. One of them was even good. Does that count?

I was thinking of getting something that says a to woman:

"Hey, I'm not violent, I don't live with my mother, I have a job, and I'll be around when the kid's born..."

Would a 2 foot high tattoo of Hard Gay on my back fit that description?

I have the master sword in the pedestal of time on my right arm? It's got a end of the world red and black background feel to it, so I like it. Next up, nintendogs. Yup. Over my heart, because I heart nintendogs.

Reason to not get a tattoo: http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7006225153; though it did give me a newfound respect for Argentineans.

Any reputable tattoo artist will use this special kind of paper, where they draw upon it with some kind of pen/marker, then press it to your skin, leaving a perfect outline of the drawing. At this point, they ask you to look at it and see if its ok.

Also, look at all the flash art on the walls, and their catalog of tattoos they've done, so you can get a feel for their style and ability.

Lastly, make sure they aren't shit faced. My brother learned that one the hard way.
