The best (and worst) video game tattoo... ever

Once you see the full view of the picture above, your reaction is certain to fall into one of two camps. You'll either be amazed that someone would buy such an amazing tattoo -- in such an interesting location -- or you'll spit your coffee all over your keyboard due to shock and disgust. (Not safe for some work environments, though not all that risque, really.)

"WHOA, how about a NSFW warning?! DAMN joystiq!"
Yeah, seriously. I hate clicking on a link on this site and seeing an admin block saying "This page is blocked: PORNOGRAPHY" or "This page is blocked: TASTELESS HUMOR"
Oh well.

He's going to leave a pile of power pellets when he visits the restroom next.

Say what you like, but that guy should take that tattoo back and ask for a refund, Not speaking of the subject matter, it's a horribly executed piece of work. They went for the enlarged pixel look, and still outlined the characters. Thats the sign of a bad tattoo artist. It would have looked a 100x better if they hadnt outlined the ghosts and pac-man.
AMB @ Feb 3rd 2006 11:47AM
the sad thing is, i know this guy... well through someone else, so not personally. But yeah, maybe he should have done Ms.PacMan, cuz that ass is as flat as a table-top arcade machine. OH SNAP Donkey!

One of my sisters friend's has a whole pac-man game on her arm, she hopes to later add another life, and give pac-man a sex change, and add a bow. (why Ms.pac-man and not pac-woman i will never understand)
anyway, i dont know why, or if this ever happened to anyone else, but one time she went to hawaii for a week, and went to the beach pretty much every day. and the tatoo became brail, it was cool because it was a pacman game, but happens to those full, body tatoo guy?
whats reallyt cool, some japanese lady came up to her, and started telling her how much she loves pac-attack, for like 10 minutes straight. anyway, she wasnt just siome random lsdy on the street, it was a waitres, sorry if i missled you...

If I ever got a tatoo it would be of the Symbol of Torment. Here is a link to a picture of it. http://crap.planescape-torment.org/images/symbol/sym0.jpg Of course, it's from the best game ever, Planescape: Torment.
