This 30-year-old nerd was looking for the right tattoo until it dawned on him that he wanted to pay tribute to some of gaming's most notible icons. Slashdot links to the blog of a guy who wanted to...well, blog his experience creating the ultimate game tattoo. It looks painful, although he did have his wife by his side for support (that poodle-walkin' butter-cup). Was the end result worth all the effort? I think so.i'd always wanted a tattoo, but could never decide what to get. a couple years ago, however, inspiration struck and i began working on an idea. maybe it was because i was living in vancouver at the time, i'm not sure. anyway, my recent (june 2005) 30th birthday fueled a furious design phase which has resulted in the following, now prominently displayed on my lower left leg (most of the leg, too)!
as the native people in the pacific northwest (and other places) used totem poles to tell stories and keep family chronologies, my design was intended to tell a history of some of the important games that influenced me and my family as i grew up.
sorry about the blurriness of some of the pics... it was a borrowed digital camera and we didn't understand the settings.
holy crap, this hurt a lot
