Gamer tattoos are not that much of a new thing, but we like highlighting some of the more unique and amusing kinds of gaming-related skin art. This piece in particular portrays the rhythmically-obsessed Patapons marching off to war. Fan Masatomo Ueda had this tat etched upon his arm and chest, and judging by the expression on his face he seems really freaked out by the little dudes and their spear carrying ways. Oh uh, Masa, just make sure you steer clear from drum beats or else those Patapons will do you in.

That reeks awesomeness. And the dude's facial expression is priceless.

Now that is cool. I don't know much about tattoos but I think the artist did a great job on the little patapons.

yea you're right. im not usually a fan of gamer/logo tats but this one actually looks pretty cool. i do like Patapon but i bet this tat could stand on it's on without anyone knowing what Patapon was.
