More Nintendo Gamer Ink

I thought the NES controller tattoo I showed here the other day was cool, but this ink work is amazing. Anyone who gets their entire back covered in game related ink deserves some cred. I typically consider most things Nintendo related to be casual, but this is hardcore. I don’t even like the word “fanboy”, but any fanboy who does this is o.k. in my book.
If I come across any other cool Nintendo or game related tattoos, I’ll be sure to share them with you guys,.

Their intentions were good, but the style of tattoo just seems really really gay. Like…anime gay. And this is coming from someone WITH a video game tattoo.
hmm..yeah i can see how it’s a bit gay looking at it again. Maybe they could have made Mario look a little tougher or something. I have tattoos myself, but from the military and then one is just in memory of a friend..no game tattoos yet, but i respect anyone turning something “nerdy” like a video game into some ink on the body which is “cool”.
I dont have any tattoos, but i think this is an awesome tattoo. I would get the rest of the charactors colored in and complete the tattoo. With Mario and the princess only colored it dont blend good. But look at the detail in this. If i was getting a Tattoo id let who ever drew this do one.
As for the comments about Mario and the gay look. How else is mario supposed to look? Each charactors look is how they are in the video game world. Mario is a peaceful guy. Wario is mean looking so is Bowser. Who ever did this captured the true Nintendo appeal. This is an Awesome job. I cant imagine the time it took to do this work. Great work. Its alot better than some peoples crappy Zelda tattoos other lame ones.
Maybe the most interesting thing is that this guy has some minor characters, not just the main ones. I see a boos, flying goombas, and a flying shy guy complete with the little helicopter belt and spiked ball, among others.
I think it looks great. After all, Mario isn’t supposed to look tough. He’s a plumber who just happens to be able to jump on Boswer’s head
Very nice.
I would love to see the finished work too I guess. Once it’s all colored in, it could look drastically different.
