Though the end product is pretty impressive, we can't help but be a little disappointed to see that it doesn't cover his entire body, glow in the dark and emit soothing jazz music at opportune moments as Molyneux originally promised.

Headline fix: "Tattooed dude is more virgin than you."

Peter Molyneux issued a press release last week saying that he had inspired the greatest most amazing tattoo ever seen. It would be both spiritual and cool at the same time. Both people that like intricate modern designs and classic old school tattoos would appreciate it. It would also unlock the minds of any who looked upon it to the point that they could reach a higher plane of existence.
Now we see what it was.
(there will still be people that defend his original press release)

Really? The razor logo kinda looks like sperm colliding.

I can image when a women asks him "what do those tattoos represent?" him saying a commercial logo for a video game development studio and her walking away right after that.
Seriously this is just as bad when people get Sports team logos tattooed on themselves it's silly.

Simple, he wanted his pecks imbued with the spirit of the Lion. So he lived among the the prides of the African savanna for a decade learning their ways and painstakingly tattooing himself by night. Some say the very ink he used contained the blood of the lion who adopted him as his own cub before giving his life in a ruthless battle against an evil pride. He vowed that day to never forget his sacrifice, and to this day he is still seeking the pride of evil Lions that killed his family. One day he'll find them, but he's got to find himself along the way.
How could you not sleep with him after a story like that!

Just because he got it tattooed doesn't mean he is trying to prove any loyalty once so ever. Maybe he just really likes the type of games Lionhead has released, maybe they influenced his life. I seriously doubt he would spend the money on a permanent medium to gain the attention and adoration of a dev. studio.

Unless you take into consideration that could be Peter Molyneux in that picture.

I hate Peter Molyneux so anyone's enthusiasm for him or his studio is over mine by at least 300%.

I think it's a cool design, and unless you're active in the gaming world you couldn't tell it was a logo.

"I love people who start hating on tattoos..." Then why don't you marry them?

I should have known most of the comments would end up being "this is stupid." It is a personal choice, an opinion, thus it cannot be labeled right or wrong, smart or stupid. You don't like tattoos, lion head, both, whatever, you don't have to. But he isn't stupid for doing it.
And odds are if a chick cares enough to ask she is either interested in you anyways or is a total stranger. I have come to the conclusion at least half of the core gaming populace is completely ignorant when it comes to tattoos. Not everything can be a totally rad japanese script tattoo for "strengh" or "for the horde."

Spending all your savings at the casino is a personal choice, but it's still stupid and possibly wrong.

He should have placed the lions' open mouths around his nipples. That would have probably gotten him more attention.

I think its pretty sweet. Being a fellow gamer with game tattoo's on him as well find nothing wrong with this. To each their own I say I have a love for tattoo's and being that I'm a gamer I don't mind putting game tattoos on me as well.

"Or, maybe, he likes to date girls that are into video games and not snobby stuck up bitches."
So true. It's quite pathetic the things people will do (or not do) to ensure they get a girlfriend. Why exactly would you want a girl who would "walk away" because you had a tatoo of a videogame company? Like it makes any difference whatsoever. Now if you're absolutely obsessed and have no time for her, that's a different story.
But bothered about a tattoo or a love of videogames? Take a hike.

In the end, who gives a shit (about anything really). It looks cool; but it's stupid to put a developer studios logo on your chest twice. But does it really matter in the end?

can he get sued for that is my question... Or did he miss out on being a walking billboard and possibly a nice amount of money... any thoughts?

if there freshly done there is no redness around the area which leads me to think that may not be real. especially if the black is that dark, which would fade once set in after scabbing over and healing.

After 30 hours in the chair (with more to come), this is seems real to me, though I mostly have color work. Look at the blown-up picture in the photo pool linked. Clearly it's on his skin and fresh, maybe a day after the job, hair has hardly grown back yet, and skin looks stretched (thus thinly scabbed). The blood will make the black darker.
I could never do this though, I think it's silly, but I won't blame the guy, it's his body. I really think the ink you get should be meaningful to the core since you're stuck with it. And, you don't want to look back and say, "Eh, maybe I can change it into something else". I think this guy will do that.
