I have a fondness for the old school Nintendo light zapper guns, so of course I love this set of geeky tattoos on Jess (aka ShadowSoldier). She loves video games and specifically has a love for the old addictive classics: Pac-Man, Mario, Duck Hunt, etc. Her collage of old school gaming goodness started with the Mario mushrooms & stars. They were done by Mike Riina (currently at Splash of Color). While those were healing, she thought up the Pac-Man idea of a string of dots going up her chest and then branching to her collar bone with ghosts and our old friend Pac-Man. I posted previously about Pac-Man tattoos but hadn’t seen hers before. The full image of the Pac-Man piece is kind of NSFW so you can click here to check it out. Geary Morrill was the man behind the tattoo gun for these dots. While doing the Pac-Man parts, Geary suggested the zappers. Jess “thought it was genius” and it wasn’t long before those were added. But she’s not quite done, as she’s still thinking about adding some Tetris into the mix of old school games. I can’t wait to see how that turns out! But before we go, two more pics from the side:

Hot.
Orange zappers?! Is she even old enough to get a tattoo?
OMG.. this is the best tattoo of LIFE! I’m sad you have it and not me! lol
Seriously? There are some tattoos people will regret in later life.
This is one of them.
i love it, u go girl !!
thats a cool tattoo….. in gay land
fuck me
I have to disagree with Miss Sarcasm and her Merry Band, while I would not personally get these tattoos (they are cool tho).. I did get 3 final fantasy tattoos 10 years ago.. I am 30 now and still LOVE them.. not regret them.
i would also disagree. who designs their life around how people will think of them when they’re 60+? no one with confidence to get a tattoo of awesome like that. the pac man part doesnt tottaly work for me, but the rest is sweet.
super duper
