I’ve certainly got Space Invaders on the brain lately. First I imported Space Invaders Extreme for the DS, then I find out that you’ll be able to play AS the Invaders in the new console version! Things are certainly looking up for the “retro game made new” lover.

Seems like the perfect time to show off this Space Invader tattoo. Much cooler than some tribal band (and what isn’t) but not so overstated as to be stupid looking. I’ve actually thought about getting something similar.

This here is the second tattoo from reader Tina who sent us the awesome looking Kirby and Meta-Knight. Well she’s back with another tat in the same vein but different game. Inspired by the Super Paper Mario version of Bowser.

After this tat it’s safe to say Tina’s quite the fellow nerd, which makes her aces in my book! Thanks for sharing Tina!

Incidentally, my tattooist hated it, and assumed it was an angel teddy bear. pah! What does he know?

While I’m not sure if I’d get my tattoo done by someone that hated the design, at least all turned out well in the end because this little bugger is cute as hell.

Excellent choice, and thanks for sharing it Laura!

If I sat here and thank (thunk?) about it for a while I could probably come up woth some funny shit to say about this tattoo, but I’m not going to try and out-funny someone that calls themselves Hilarysaurus Rex. Normally I go by Hip Hopopotamus and/or Rhymenocerous.

I love when the description of the tattoo is better than anything I could write on my own.

I spent countless hours fighting those little crapfaces in order to get all of my limit breaks. Apparently, we bonded.

This here is only part one of an eventual sleeve, he’ll be adding in some flames around Sephiroth (hence the red in the hair) and Genova.

Been a bit since we’ve featured some gamer ink, but this one was too fantastic to pass by. Tina V. sent in this image of her Kirby/Meta Knight tattoos that are so well done, they practically look drawn on. Wear them proudly girl!

It’s not the first Metroid inspired tattoo we’ve seen here, but hot damn does it look good.
