I think my favorite part is the Mario on the forearm….but….i tend to prefer ones that mimic 8 bit graphic pixelation. Not that the sleeve doesn’t look abulous.
Wow. That looks fantastic, I love it.
Loving the vivid colour.
correction:
best.
tattoo.
ever.
quite simply, this tattoo is the balls.
Being a game geek myself… first thought that came to mind was “I should play some Super Smash Bros.”
That is lovely.
yay for Mario! 😀
Super Smash Bros all the way Sam. I love this piece, it is wonderful and beautifully done.
that is just awesome! I love howe it’s even got the different color Yoshi’s.
Awesome – Is that some ATARI 2600 Fire Fighter action just above the wrist?
This is fucking fantastic. Vivid. It’s going to make me drag out an emulator and play for a while today, I think.
God I love it! The differant games are blended so well!
Yoshi!
Darn, I’m going to have to get out the Super Nintendo tonight!
Mario!
Hey ;[
*Mario! XD
This is such a kick ass tattoo!
Fuckin’ sweet. I especially dig the big Samus. Metroid rules!
I love Mario.
I wish I had enough time to play Mario…but it’s too addictive to risk “just an hour”.
This is really good! I love it!
You just wait…I’m going to have a really good one too..when I get around to it.
Man, I love video games.
Quite possitively awesome. Nice well-rounded characters and fantastically drawn. Great artist and inker.
Marshall: Thats from Game & Watch, Nintendo’s first portable system (before the GameBoy which was 1989 while G&W was early 80s) Its a Nintendo fanboy sleeve, not everything else except an Atari game sleeve 😛 Just razzing ya.
This makes me want to bust out with the nintendo ds and play mario.
Much better than the controller piece from a couple of days ago. I can’t see what could possibly be left to “finish” at this point, the thing’s brilliant.
YOSHI!!!!!!!!!!!!
Omg. Best gaming tattoo ever.
haha. thats a little obsessive. but i have harry potter tattoos, so i shouldnt speak against obsessions.
LOVE IT!!!!!!
i’m really drooling all over myself right now.
shannon, can you do an all-nerd week on modblog?
ditto the super smash brothers comment. And, with all gamegeek sense aside, this is a beautifully done tattoo. The colours and figures and everything, it’s just brilliant. Samus and the Yoshis are don’t brilliantly, and the game-and-watch characters down the bottom are great too! I love it.
that’s so cool! If I were him, I would also add Kirby to the sleeve 🙂
i fuckin want that!!!!!!
very bright and vivid, everything seems to blend in quite well
Glad to see modblog on digg.com
