Sonic the Hedgehog... Kind of

As a huge Sonic fan, I'm actually a little offended by this. Not only is this defamation, but he looks like he's threatening me for my lunch money. And what's happening with his feet?!

Pac-Man on Your Face... Seems Legit

While the actual artistry isn't too bad on this one, the placement and concept are just hilarious. I'd love to have been present during this conversation between the artist and the client: "Hey there, Pac-Man has been such an influence in my life, I think I'd like you to shave my head and draw it on my face."

L33T H4X0R Means I'm the Best, Right?

Another Head Tattoo, Why Not?

One thing I've always wondered is why people got tattoos that would just be completely covered if he/she let hair grow. This is a prime example. I also wonder if he'll be getting a job anytime soon.

I'll Give You Three Guesses

Although I played Halo religiously, I still had no idea that this was a Covenant Grunt. This is another one I almost want to take personally. How dare you do this to my childhood!

Safe To Assume This Guy Doesn't Own A PS3?

I have seen a multitude of fantastic Xbox tattoos. Whether or not it's a good idea, let's just leave that up to interpretation. However, this one is a little unfortunate... the circle isn't even straight.
