If you get that one, you're automatically awesome.  If you don't, you automatically suck.





Metroid!



It takes some serious balls to tattoo a mustached dude in a raccoon suit on your neck.



Probably the most popular gaming tattoo there is: the rood inverse ala Vagrant Story.



Gee, I wonder which console this guy bought first?



That's dedication right there.




Holy crap.

I think "fuck no" is a sentiment we can all agree on here.  Poor thing.  Must have been really drunk when that seemed like a good idea.



You're fucking kidding, right?

I've seen a lot of Zelda tats, but that's some pretty ornate stuff going on there.



This guy totally wins and totally loses all at once.

Noticing a trend?



Some of these just make you want to burn your eyes out.



Nice.

Nice shading.

Hahahahaha..... I mean, this is just... ahaha....



I'm sorry, but what a fucking loser.


And the moral of the story?  There are way, way more Nintendo-related gaming tattoos out there than anything else.  And a lot of game tats really, really suck.  But the good ones make up for it.  But seriously, if you get a Final Fantasy tattoo, you're probably a total douchebag, and if you get a Kingdom Hearts tattoo, you should go seek help.

EDIT - The pics that didn't show up got URLs.  Sorry I didn't notice earlier.

Thought I was reading a mysterd post for a second.

See? Chicks dig pacman.

The only gaming tattoos Ive ever thought I'd have would be either the Blood Eagle logo from Tribes, or the Quake 1 logo.

I should get a STEAM and Securom tattoo...
 

[K-man]

I'd love a foxhound tat.

My two half-formed plans have revolved around Metroid and Okami for some time, but it's the sort of thing that requires a ridiculous amount of thought and planning before putting into action.  Any tattoo should, but something as geeky as this needs extra attention.

[MysterD]

I heard Que was thinking of getting a tattoo of Geralt The Witcher and Triss Marigold...

[Quemaqua]

Was that an attempt at a joke?

[TheOtherBelmont]

I think it's more of a cry for help.

[ScaryTooth]

Hahah, at the Portals one.

The Okami tat is pretty sweet too.

Shit, I'm noticing now that a ton of these aren't showing up.  I guess the sites don't allow hotlinking.  Fuckers.

There are now URLs for the pics that didn't show.
