Gaming Tats Have Jumped The Shark
Okay, I'm calling it. Gaming tattoos have officially jumped the shark.
I'm no stranger to body art and have admired many gaming and non-gaming tattoos alike, but this is starting to get silly. Duck Hunt? Even in my wildest dreams I can't imagine justifying Duck Hunt ink. I hope, for this young lady's sake, that there is some sort of deep, symbolic meaning behind marking herself with such an odd choice. I give her credit for originality, though. I guess nostalgia can dictate a larger part of our behavior than I'd like to think. It makes me wonder if in twenty more years, people will be getting marked with Electroplankton, Katamari's Prince, or Patapon silhouettes.
This just makes me long for the tramp stamps and slag tags from the days of yesteryear.

Now that you mention it, an Electroplankton tattoo would be kind of cool since you could almost make it look like some sort of tribal tattoo at the same time
that tattoo would've been hilarious if it was in the front
Walking around like that is a good way to get shot in the goddamn spine. Fuckin' dog.
No way! An electroplankton tattoo would be so awesome. Not only does it have that original indie feeling, but whether or not you know the game, it's beautiful art. Geometry wars?
20 years?
