Totem tattoo commemorates influential games

Retro Totem Tattoo

Joystiq tipster, Tetujin, wanted us to showoff his coworker's innovative tattoo. No problem!

An explanation from the creator/bearer:
"i'd always wanted a tattoo, but could never decide what to get. a couple years ago, however, inspiration struck and i began working on an idea. maybe it was because i was living in vancouver at the time, i'm not sure. anyway, my recent (june 2005) 30th birthday fueled a furious design phase which has resulted in the following, now prominently displayed on my lower left leg (most of the leg, too)!

as the native people in the pacific northwest (and other places) used totem poles to tell stories and keep family chronologies, my design was intended to tell a history of some of the important games that influenced me and my family as i grew up."



[Thanks, Tetujin]
