- What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soulby JonathonFirst suspensions are rarely just about the body— they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal.

I agree with Brian too..
The idea is great and so is the concept.. but unfortunately its so poorly done it really DOES look like marker.. which is unfortunate, at the very least.
But like brian said.. we all start with a couple bad ones.. she can always get it touched-up or re-done sometime alone the way..
..I like the question-mark belly button!

I think you’re all being a bit mean about the quality of her tatt.
It’s a kind of youthful, kid-like design and the texta look of it kinda suits the subject.
Well, that’s just my opinion anyway 🙂

Shannon, yes, in the games I’ve played where it works (which is not all the Konami games), it’s done before you start playing, so it’s more of a charge than a re-charge. (I’m not trying to pick nits with you, I was really into video games in the 80s, have never heard it used that way, and am just trying to figure out what I missed.)

I only ever knew it to work on Contra. If done before the start of the game it would give you 30 lives instead of 3, and added with the replays you got (which weren’t endless in those days) it brought the total number of lives up to 120.
Neat idea for a tatoo, but I think the layout would look better in a circle like the numbers on a clock with the gameboy in the center.

I agree with panties. I think the style in which the tattoo was done adds to the child-like subject of the tattoo. Reminds me of fourth grade.

I honestly don’t think it was the “style” that the tattoo was done in… It just looks kinda crappy cause it is. There aren’t many exceptionally nice studios in Des Moines, if any at all, in my experience (I couldn’t find any last time I was there, I used to live next-door basically). The theme of the tattoo is awesome though.
& I noticed the “?” right when I saw it too, I looked at the ink then went to scroll down & comment and scrolled back up cause I thought I saw a question mark in it somewhere, haha.
