l'Cie Tattoo Finally Real: First Gamer Known to Get the Arm Ink

Yes, the day is here.  The L'cie tattoo has left the world of fantasy and entered the realm of crude matter.  Major kudos to Crawlerbasher for making this totally airwolf ink happen.  Follow this link for the full pic.

Gamer Tattoo Tuesday: Modern Warfare 2

I have yet to see any photos of MW2 ink anywhere, and that's a good thing.  This game, while certainly well-made, should raise the eyebrow of any participant.  Do you really want this much realism in a war game?  This is fun for you?  Killing Nazi zombies -- good times.  Killing people whose concepts of a virtuous life differ from yours -- worth a pause. 

Seems the most eligible image for a tattoo would be the insignia of Task Force 141.

Seriously, though.  Think about it.  Do you really want some vet stopping you and commenting on this? 

"Never seen that insignia before.  What division you in?" 
"Me?  Oh I just pretend to be a soldier on my PS3."  
".... You mock everything that makes America great."

(Note -- I had no idea joystiq had posted this Nazi zombie MW2 article mere hours before I posted.  Yes, it's an archetype.)

Gamer Tattoo Tuesday: Metal Gear

Ah, MGS; the game which taught us that a cardboard box and a pack of smokes is all it takes to be a super-ninja-spy-dude.  If one wants to sport a some ink from the game, though, what are your options?
The FOXHOUND logo?

Um, no.

Maybe a bit of the cover art?
 
If your local tattoo guy is Yoji Shinkawa, maybe.

Now, this guy’s got it right.  The Kojima Productions logo.

Simple, bold, and 100% rad.

Gamer Tattoo Tuesday: l'Cie Tattoo

UPDATED 3/29/10 -- Somebody got the tattoo.  Check it here.


Any mention of the plot of Final Fantasy XIII sends me into a fit of ear-holding and "lalalalala"-shouting.  Really trying to hold out for the full experience.  But screenshots?  Oh, they're just fine, of course.  Hence my knowledge of the l'Cie brand.

Like... ow brah. Totally

Found a different version over on the gamefaqs forums.

 

I think it can see you, Ray.

Fantastic.  I can only assume people all over Japan have this symbol tattooed on their forearms already.
