    One of my friends.
    He has the Nintendo logo on his back (I know :D) Megaman on his arm and a Mario star on his elbow.

    He's a bit extravagant :D

    What are you looking to get? If you have some characters or games in mind then go talk to an artist and they should be able to come up with something. Might be an idea to bring in some pictures of the images you want to get done.

    His brother is thinking of getting like a totem of Nintendo characters, think it would look good if he chooses wisely.

    So basically stuff like Donkey Kong holding up other characters :D

    Best bet would be to go into a studio and explain your ideas to the artist. They'll know what will work and what won't! :D

    I have an idea in my head, for a Final Fantasy VII backpiece for some time now.. Kinda revolves around the meteorite at the top/end of my neck.. Cloud on one side of my back with Sephiroth on the other. In between would contain all my fav characters from the game...:)

    In my head, the idea rocks. Just not sure I'd ever have the balls to go through with it :o
