Fan For Life: 115 Glorious Gaming Tattoos

Features
By Maximum PC ) published 19 September 2011

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an commission. Here’s how it works.

A few months ago, we highlighted some of the best PC-related ink we could find, which turned into quite the project because it turns out there are a lot of people willing to tattoo themselves with binary code or an Android.

However, while researching that piece we realized that there are a considerably larger number of people who are willing to sport video game related ink, which, really makes sense because games have a larger variety of artistic content than, say, software code being a visual medium and all.

We found a vertible boatload of people who chose to make their love of Mario, Nintendo, Portal, or Pac-man really permanent. So, us as we pay homage to the games that we all love and cherish by highlighting some of the best game-related tattoos we could find.

LONDON, ENGLAND - APRIL 18: Brian Eno speaks during SUMUD, a fundraising event for Palestine, organised by the Amos Trust, at Union Chapel on April 18, 2024 in London, England.
