Halo Legendary tattoo gets shady

We're guessing he's getting ready to *groan* finish the fight. Originally reported on by X3F near the holidays last year, this Halo tattoo features the "legendary level" symbol taking up much of one man's back. The tattoo is slowly coming along as "GothicSlayer" gathers the cash to finish it. The latest installment fills in and gives shading to the Elite skull. Maybe Santa will bring him the cash to finish it before the end of the year.

We think if there is anybody who deserves a Halo 3 Xbox 360 from Microsoft it's this guy. The man is a walking advertisement/conversation piece on any beach. Although you probably can't best him, if you've got Xbox related tattoos to show off, X3F is taking submissions. You won't win anything but the glory of internet fame, and isn't that all anyone needs?

WorfoSAUR: Aug 10th 2007; 9:08PM

Wow...That's disgusting.

aristokrat: Aug 10th 2007; 9:27PM

Him, or the ink?

ExMcloud: Aug 10th 2007; 9:14PM

Honestly that one hell of a Tat and when that thing gets done it'll be a sight to behold

Chris: Aug 10th 2007; 9:30PM

looks like predator w/o its mask, unless....

Stooch: Aug 10th 2007; 9:31PM

Can you imagen being his wife or girlfriend, waking up next to him in the morning, rolling over and seeing THAT when you open your eyes?
I can. And I feel sick just thinking about it.

Stupidiot: Aug 10th 2007; 9:34PM

I can imagine being his girlfriend no more than he can imagine having a girlfriend.

electronicat: Aug 10th 2007; 9:32PM

I've never seen a hemorrhoid with fangs before...

hvnlysoldr: Aug 10th 2007; 9:38PM

You just haven't been looking hard enough then. This is the eighth and don't ask where I looked. It's horrible.

Cal: Aug 10th 2007; 9:38PM

It looks more like a deformed alien baby than the legendary thing.

Yagami-Iori: Aug 10th 2007; 9:47PM

It's gonna be funny in 40 years when he's all old and video games like Halo are long forgotten and he has to explain to the grandkids WTF is on his back.

Or in 5 years, when he's about to lose his virginity and
this prevents it from happening.

Scott: Aug 10th 2007; 9:52PM

In 20 years that tattoo will look as cool as if you have a space invader or pac man on your back right now....geez...

Ryuukuro: Aug 10th 2007; 10:02PM

Actually, Space Invaders and Pac-Man tattoos ARE cool. They're retro chic and fun. Most will last, especially if they're small (But a big Pac-Man tattoo? Hell no.)

This thing, on the other hand, isn't even remotely cool now. It's fugly.

Poisoned Al: Aug 11th 2007; 6:52PM

Actually, a small space invader or pac-man tattoo on the arm would be pretty bitchin! If you're feeling really retro, get a Jet Set Willy tat!

SoulBlade: Aug 10th 2007; 9:55PM

gahhh joystiq please post a new article so this isnt the first thing i see when the page loads!

Mick: Aug 10th 2007; 9:56PM

He really should firm up a bit if he wants any attention that might pay. Right now, he looks flabby and ultra geeky. Sorry man, but get to work!

Neebs: Aug 10th 2007; 9:57PM

Jesus, get some SUN.

And in your own backyard, no one else needs to see that.

Neebs: Aug 10th 2007; 10:50PM

I have deep pride in my Russo-British roots, and I even try to stay past pale...

FrankTheCrank: Aug 11th 2007; 9:39AM

And I thought Neebs was a fanboy.

This guy is a farking moron.

But to some, he's the coolest guy on earth.

Wow.

Neebs: Aug 11th 2007; 3:19PM

Whoa, some guy's post disappeared that had replied to me...odd. What led you to believe I was a fanboy, anyways?

colin: Aug 10th 2007; 9:58PM

note to self, stay away from derrickgott007's ex-girlfriends ... ouch.

Mabui: Aug 10th 2007; 9:58PM

I always wanted a tattoo, but I could never think of something that I would continue to want years down the road. Although it seems pretty sad, in a few years it'll just be a crazy looking alien..long as it doesn't say Halo anywhere.

Zeus the God: Aug 10th 2007; 10:17PM

Vagina... WITH TEETH! zOMGz0rz!

John Doe: Aug 10th 2007; 10:45PM

15 years from now when people go "Oh yah I think I remember Halo" this guys is going to look like an idiot.

ssuk: Aug 11th 2007; 10:40AM

So all those people who got Pac-Man tattoes must be regretting it by now... Oh wait...

Word of the street.: Aug 10th 2007; 10:50PM

So Futurama was right,art is now tattoed in fat men I wonder if that is a loan from the Louve.

horngreen: Aug 10th 2007; 10:51PM

This would be like me getting a Pitfall tattoo when I was 18. Not so sure it would be all that "cool" today. Now a Jumpman Jr. tat? No problem there!

Ryuukuro: Aug 10th 2007; 11:47PM

A guy at my local Gamestop has a Halo Clan tattoo. In concept it's dorky but just as a tattoo it looks cool. As long as he isn't burned by the clan he'll probably be proud of it for years to come. And it isn't as big or as prominent or as mindbustingly ugly as that thing above.

ronald.raygun: Aug 11th 2007; 4:05AM

sounds pretty gangsta

DS1O9: Aug 11th 2007; 1:10AM

hahahaha, BURN!!

kagai: Aug 11th 2007; 1:26AM

...and somewhere a mother weeps...

Planet-Wally: Aug 11th 2007; 3:10AM

Well, I think him having a girlfriend out...but if he happens to meet a halo fan at gaygamers...

eldee: Aug 11th 2007; 4:55AM

man, he could get some holsters tattooed on those flabby ass lovehandles.

meist3r: Aug 11th 2007; 5:37AM

The worst thing about this is definitely the money. Disregarding the shame, pale skin and short time value of that thing a tat of these dimensions easily costs $3K+. I wanted to get something totally different done on my shoulder half the size and that was 80€/h totalling 1200 once done.

Not only does he now look ridiculous without a shirt on but he also can't afford more food to compensate. Way to go.

TheArabian: Aug 11th 2007; 5:49AM

Is that REAL!!! WHERE are the red marks from the stabbing PIN!! GET THAT COLOR PENCIL DRAWING OUT OF HERE!!!

SDF-1: Aug 11th 2007; 6:23AM

First thing I saw in the picture is the delicious Kraft(tm) Ranch dressing.

Andy: Aug 11th 2007; 8:44AM

HAHAHA Nice. Halo dude, shut the fridge door!

Sir_Mal: Aug 11th 2007; 10:38AM

Nah, it's probably feeding time for Backy.

Akiosarin: Aug 11th 2007; 11:03AM

I dont know what kind of vaginas YOU find.......but I'd rather never find out xD lol

OTAM: Aug 11th 2007; 3:38PM

I would say this is bad,but I can't say it's worse than the guy who has the Nintendo characters from shoulder to elbow on each arm. That takes the cake in my book with game tattoos/stupidity.

Rare Hare: Aug 11th 2007; 4:17PM

To those comparing this to pac man tattoos:

Compare this instead to a man with a gigantic tattoo of one of the ghosts from pac man, taking up almost his entire back. Yeah. Not that cool.

And this is even more lame.

robert: Aug 11th 2007; 4:34PM

"We're guessing he's getting ready to *groan* finish the fight"

more like finish the pizza.

Rare Hare: Aug 11th 2007; 10:26PM

Wow. I just realized that he's standing next to an open refrigerator in the picture.
