    Mario and Luigi are cool! Shame they're on the bottom of the feet though as they won't last pissing time :( I can't wait to get started on my cartoon/videogame leg sleeve featuring Mario, Pac-Man, Sonic, Amaterasu, Ryo and Nozomi from Shenmue, Boo, ash and pikachu sprites from Pkmn yelllow, reptar and a heap of others!

    My girlfriend is trying to convince me to get some videogame related sprite tattoo with her in New York in two weeks.

    My first reaction was '**** off!'

    Then I thought - 'Wait a minute, that's really awesome!' :pac:

    I think I will go for a Lamda somewhere on the arms.
    Would love "Don't Panic" somewhere as well, in large, friendly letters, that book means an awful lot to me.

    And regarding the tatt link...
    Some of those really, really suck! More than are cool tbh.
    You would really need to find a great tattoo artist who is also a games fan, heck a games art fan.
    A Samus montage would be cool, perhaps her and Meta-Ridley mid battle, with a Metroid thrown in for good measure, but you would have to have an artist who understands the original art and can reproduce it.

    The Mortal Kombat one could easily leave you with a lifetime of regret... I did like the space invaders tatt though.

    Seen this on a google search a while ago, thought I'd post it as I thought it looked great (though far too over-the-top, in my opinion, considering it's scale and location).
