The greatest gaming tattoo ever is here now

"Gaming tattoos have been around since the invention of gaming itself. From legendary Mario memoribilia to the lame and scary logos and Sonic renditions, gaming and tattoos have been a very expressive form of the hardcore gamer.

However, it isn't until now that we have seen some truly unique and bold ink brought to life that truly captures the spirit of gaming..."

EPIC.

[- Ghost of Sparta -]

...And it closely resembles a disgusting, infected gash, soon to be the result of gangrene which will only lead to having his torso removed.

I agree with you, this is epic, in a fail way.

[Chubear]

This IS news. It may not be news you like or want but it's new regardless. If you don't like this type of news then set your filters to make sure you don't get this type of news.

N4G gave us some great filters with the new site; use them.

btw, kinda looks creepy.

[Blaze929]

this is not news. stop trying to kid yourself. Here, maybe you need to take a look at these again:

This is just stupid. The tattoo, this story, and everyone who approved this. Greatest gaming tattoo ever? Far from it

[darkmurder]

That looks shocking.

[Government Cheese]

Woah thank God. At least its just on his back. For a second there based off of looking at the thumbnail, I thought the tattoo was around the actual dude's eyeball.

[spec_ops_comm]

The tattoo came out so terribly. The artist should be ashamed. The eyes are way too far apart and the black shit in between just looks weird.

A waste of time and money. How much does laser tattoo removal go these days?

[RAZORLAND]

ew.

[FURY__UNLEASHED]

Yeah, this tattoo SUCKS! It looks like he fell asleep and a kid scribbled on his back with permanent marker.

[Kratos Spartan]

no

[R2D2]

Good luck on getting laid with that tat with out having to pay some STD invested hooker on the corner.

[Spydiggity]

do people really think that they will be more likely to get laid simply by scarring their flesh with pointless ink?

if there are women who are turned on by the addition of tattoos, i can imagine that they are similar to the type of women you are talking about...

[Microsoft_Spokesman]

It's epic and really ugly at the same time.

[oohWii]

All I could thing about is when he is 60 years old and Kratos' eyes are drooping down and looking down at some old man's a$$...lol

[R2D2]

.

[BBCnewsrocks]

Guaranteed to die old and alone.

[Aquanox]

I don't see what this tattoo has to make it special.

Check this one, now this is a hell of a tattoo

Can't believe this ps3-fanboy-sites (Yes they are, "ps3addiction") nonsense keeps infecting this place.

[boodybandit]

I am in the market for a gaming tattoo myself. If you want a really nice tattoo you have to carefully plan it out, create your own design and find the best artist you can to give you a piece of art that will last you a life time.

This tattoo of Kratos looks like it was done by a person just starting out and it's doesn't even make sense. I feel sorry for the person that did this to themself.

I should know. The gaming tattoo I am trying to put together is to cover up my first tattoo I had done. It was an excellent design but done by an amateur and that is being overly kind. But in my defense I just turned 18, walked into a palor and walk out a couple hours later with a mistake. Exactly like the guy in this article did.

[mantisimo]

No giant tattoo of any ones eyes are going to look right when heads are oval and your shoulders are square. Should have had a Super Mario Thwomp done instead!

Oh and the quote from the tattooist "Well he didn't, so now I'm going to do this same tattoo on somebody else and do it better."

Some comfort for the poor sod who had this done now whose brave enough to have bog eyed pot smoking, late night Kratos Tattoo II?

This way when his boyfriend is getting him from behind he can look at a real man..

[Dnied]

aha that one made me lol a bit

[gtamike]

epic fail

[xskipperx82]

OMG that sucks! The proportions are all off. One eye is bigger thatn the other. They are spaced too far apart and the shadowing is terrible!

[Bereaver]

Yeah, the proportions are pretty far off..... but it's the thought that counts right? heheh, maybe.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

Yeah, WTF! It is not in full 1080p!

It is so darn pixelated, not fitting of the PS3....

[IcarusOne]

Bubble, sir.

[jc48573]

LAME

[yoshiro]

FAIL...

[George Sears]

Lol Cockeyed Kratos.

He also seems to be smoking some good ol' cannabis.

[dork0783]

REALLY bad tattoo LOL! what a douche.

[eggbert]

FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL

[KillerPwned]

I was thinking of geting a sleeve from Uncharted 2 drake fighting a bunch of bad guys or from the first one in the jungle. Also i need to get a huge metal gear solid tat :)

UPDATE!

That work and just the idea of that tat does fail big time.

[Chug]

That tat is terrible.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Are you kidding me?

Looks like the eyes of Kratos are in a weird effect from a drug or something.

[Rocket Sauce]

I was thinking the same thing. That's a mean looking crack addict this guy has on his back.

[aceitman]

just like him http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[DeleteThisxx]

No denying it's a bad tattoo but I guess you guys don't understand that skin tends to bleed upon getting a tattoo, hence the bloody looking eyes.

[DeleteThisxx]

Loving all these disagreements. Little kids who have no idea what a tattoo does to the body.

[mittwaffen]

If it looks bad I can always hit the reset button...

wait....?

[JihadJoe]

good concept, fail execution

[CountDracula]

WoW

[subzero-08]

Oh man, who would ever want that?

[Tunerboy8732]

It looks like kratos is stoned out of his mind.

[SilverSlug]

WTF

[Dnied]

looks like he tried to do it himself

[Colonel-Killzone]

More the dumbest and ugliest tattoo ever

[Bathyj]

Na, this is the best one. I think we can include it as gaming.

[Bloodshedder]

Gomer Pyle

THATS NOT GAMMING PYLE!

[Hudahudahuda]

He should have got Kratos real tattoo.

[Bloodshedder]

thats fugly

[Omar91]

wtf is that.... a pair of eyes on your back? this could of really been an epic tattoo but it turned out to be an epic fail.

[palaeomerus]

Well..uh...if he's happy with it then it's none of my business.

[Microsoft_Spokesman]

I bet he isn't...

[Voyevoda]

Me no likey

[generalthadeape]

That tattoo is laughable. I doubt that the picture was blown up properly to ensure that everything was spaced to match the original image that it was taken from.

There's way too much "dead space" between the eyes & absolutely nothing going on above or below the eyes to warrant making the tattoo span the entire width of the shoulder blades.

I know-- let's add blood shot eyes & that'll make it all better-- NOT!!!

Oh well dude, at least the chicks dig it-- right???

Let's face it-- you suck kid & so does that horrible tattoo that you have painted on your dumb ass-- hahahaha!!!

[chad22hkd]

it looks bad, kratos eyes are red like he has been hitting the pipe.

[jeenyus]

This looks terrible, the artist, if you can call him that, failed. Kratos is the man, this would displease him.

[Denial]

That's disgusting

[solidt12]

I give mad props for that tat

[PS360PCROCKS]

Wtf is that? Why are his eyes so spread apart? That is an AWFUL AWFUL tattoo...Omg...If I was to tattoo Kratos it would be bad ass in it's glory. Hell like this...

http://www.ripten.com/wp-co...

Do your whole back, there are tattoo artists that can do portrait work like that.

[ReBurn]

At least he can put his shirt on and nobody will know it's there. In 20 years nobody's going to know what that is.

[tplarkin7]

Two eyes for the price of one.

[JonDiskonected]

it kinda looks...really bad

[KillaFreedom]

Post it on FailBlog!

[kraze07]

I try to refrain from talking bad about other people's tattoos because what I think is ugly can be art in their eyes but yeah that tat could've definitely been done better.

[roguewarrior]

there will be...one fucked up tattoo

[hatchimatchi]

that's one of the dumbest things i've ever seen.

[KidMakeshift]

All he needs now is Kratos mouth for a tramp stamp on his back

Really though, is the tattoo that bad? It's about the equivalent of a Gamestop promotion.

[KruLLit]

I want a Triforce tat :)

[Wizziokid]

I've seen much better sorry.

[Mr Lahey]

that does NOT look like Kratos!! For a realistic tattoo, it's not good at all..

[SkylineR]

I certainly hope this guy was drunk at each tattooing sessions because it just fails big time. Looks pretty mediocre, sorry.

[jurahsik]

Makes Kratos look like he has downs.

[K-Tuck]

I know its source, but chances are no one else will. They'll just thing he got tattoos of rotten zombie eyes on his shoulder blades.

[Murgatroyd7]

That has got to be one of the ugliest tattoos I've ever seen. You can't even tell what it is. Just a couple of bloodshot eyes surrounded by smoke?

[Captain Tuttle]

Laughably bad.

[Perkel]

lol @ all those negative comments..

it is superb in my opinion, red eye kratos looks good.

1st : It has to do with gaming, so raporting this as not gaming news is FAIL.
2nd : Dudes posting something like: He won't get a girl etc. look at yourself..
3rd : He has balls of steel to do this.

[Captain Tuttle]

I needed a good laugh today. The best part is that it's permanent...he'll be stuck with this ugly thing the rest of his life.

[PS360PCROCKS]

1.) I agree, it can be news I suppose. But it was posted by the guy who got the Tattoo so that's lame.

2.)I am looking at myself, I'm young, good looking, in great shape, extremely active and have a few very nice looking tattoos.

3.)Balls of steel? why to get a ugly ass tattoo? That makes no sense. Your a nerd if you get the tattoo either way, but it just plain sucks ass.

[Rashonality]

ewwww

[TheLig32]

That is thee most absurd thing I've ever seen. Dude's gona regret that one when he's 80, or when he needs to explain it to a chick.

[chidori666]

i prefer this tatoo

http://farm3.static.flickr....

http://img84.imageshack.us/...

[Sheikah]

No.

[OhMyGandhi]

the eyes looks fine. but because they are spaced way too far apart, he put too many wrinkles in between.

[tplarkin7]

Perhaps he should take a pic of him pulling his shoulders back. The eyes would be closer, then.

[mindz]

that tat is epic fail imo i love god of war III but that tattoo sucks

[Shane Kim]

I hope the dude who made the tattoo doesn't come here to read the comments. He will probably kill himself when he realize what a dumb@ss he is.

[capn_crunch]

While I agree it looks terrible, you guys do know that the redness of the eyes is just from the irritation on the skin.

All tattoos look like that after getting them done. The eyes would look normal now (if this photo was taken a while ago).

[sam2236]

No. No it's not.

Whoever approved and submitted this crap should get banned.

[ANoobsJourney]

Horrible tattoo. He will look back in a few years (or a few days), and regret it.

[AriesFury]

WOW!That is so not good. It's his money but, IMO it's a waste of money and with him for the rest of his life.

[Jason143]

Having nunmerous tattoos I can say that this is a extremely poorly done tat. Epic Fail. If an artist charges less then $200 an hr your in a shitty shop people.

[SlaughterMeister]

Terrible. This is why I would never get a tattoo, I don't trust the artists not to create an abomination such as this.

[General Shrooms]

What a dumb bastard!!

[bjornbear]

horrible tattoo, who ever is kidding themselves of that you need to see a good tattoo =P

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

this tattoo will be one of those regrets as it's a temporary novelty...

obviously this tattoo was a bad idea!

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

all the geometry is off in that kratos tattoo...

the eyebrows are wayyyyyyy the f**k off, so damn sad!!!!

[TheMutator]

Gay!!!! lol

[AliTheBrit19]

Sorry, but that is an AWFUL Tattoo

Firstly, the work itself just isn't that great, it isn't terrible but if you're going to get something like this done, at least get it done right.

Secondly, What kind of tool gets a gaming tattoo? I have a few tattoos, and they all mean something, something deep which has a lot of meaning to me, not just some random game tattoo..

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

if you're going into the tattoo shop and just get something that you liked on the walls of the shop.... you shouldn't even be getting a tattoo!!!

you'd also be damn lucky if all those words/quotes in other languages... actually ment what they did!!!

[downwardspiral]

kratos looks like he's been smoking too much spliff in that tattoo.

[HarryM]

Because it looks like someone got a knife and slashed him..

[Mr Lahey]

I actually feel a bit sorry for the guy.. But a couple of 100$ of laser treatments and a nice cover-up by a skillful tattooist should fix the problem!

[tildeathtattoo]

???

[Stempel]

lame as fuck

[The Iron Sheik]

This kid is really going to regret this tattoo when he is in his 40's.

[Lex Luthor]

Another reason why tattoos are stupid.
