Check out this cool tattoo based on the Fallout 3 perk called Bloody Mess. Kotaku reader David Lo has high hopes for the upcoming post-apocalyptic RPG. So high that he decided to permanently ink the game’s mascot, Vault Boy, on to his arm. Fallout 1 and 2 are classics, but Fallout 3 - that remains to be seen. Here’s to hoping he won’t regret it.
Found in France, design studio Boucherie Moderne has created some killer three-dimensional tattoos. While some claim they look “animated,” I feel that these are just standard 3-D images on skin. Slap on a pair of glasses and it’ll look like it’s popping out at you. I’d love to get one on my fist. That way, when I punch someone, I can claim they wanted to check out my tattoo.
Whatever you get, make sure it’s something you won’t regret later.
Would you buy someone’s tattoo off of them? No, I don’t mean pay for them to get the tattoo inked into their skin (or teeth), I mean pay for ownership of the ink that is already on their skin. This is probably the first case of selling of a tattoo while still on the owner’s body. Tim Steiner sold the tattoo on his back to Zurich gallery owner Jutta Nexdorf for about $218,000.
Ha, sucker! Doesn’t he know he could have gotten that tattoo himself for $214,500 dollars cheaper? Belgian artist Wim Dalvoye took 35 hours to create this elaborate tattoo of the Virgin Mary. The artsy fartsy Jutta Nexdorf plans on exhibiting Steiner’s back three times a year and when Steiner passes away, Nexdorf will most likely skin him and display the tattoo in his gallery. What an asshole.
You’ve gotta be one fat fucking loser to want to tattoo “Wel-come to the social” on your shoulder. It looks like some five-year old tattoo artist did it, or at least thought up the idea. It’s bad enough it’s the Zune slogan, but even worse: it’s a terrible slogan. Considering no one bought the Zune except this guy and four other people leaves little to be desired in regards to being welcomed to the social. Thanks for welcoming me, now where’s the exit?
Long time Zune fanatic Mszunefan is not the only one looking for the exit. He posted on Zunescene:
“I am done. I have had the Zune since day 1 and have noticed little improvement. I have tried my best to support them every step of the way but the recent Xbox Live announcement at E3 made me lose it. To not include Zune Marketplace or the ability to load videos from Xbox Live to your Zune made me finally give up. I am in the works of figuring the best way to get a new tattoo to cover the logo on my arm. Thanks for all the harsh comments and you will see very little of me anymore.”
Note to self: never tattoo a lousy corporate logo and a terrible slogan to match, onto my skin. I’ll only cover them up later with the latest Microsoft OS logo.
The year is 2011. Rap music has evolved to the point where bling and grillz are no longer cool. The new fad is tattoos. Rappers everywhere from all crews are swarming dentist offices trying to get tooth tattoos. What are tooth tattoos? I’m glad you asked.
Back in the year 2008, the Heward Dental Lab in Salt Lake City decided to start offering custom hand-painted crowns. That’s right. If you were hoping to get an image of Andy Warhold silk-screened onto a tooth, no dice. Costing between $75 and $500, rappers of all wealth flocked to Salt Lake City to get images of George Washington and Elvis attached on their teeth. Thus, the hit single of 2009 was born: “Saltin’” by Chamillionaire.
Emilie Darrigade is the world’s youngest tattoo artist. Having worked on her father’s tattoo at the age of five in a Montreal tattoo parlor while under the supervision of expert tattooist Robin Labreche, Emilie managed to fill in a black and yellow bumble bee on her father’s arms without going outside of the lines. Excellent Emilie. You get a gold star! Emilie also plans on working on her father’s next tattoo: a skull with cross bones and fire.
Though spectators claim she can handle the gun fairly well despite its weight, there is no way in hell I’d ever go under the needle with this girl behind it. Only her father would be crazy/cool enough to do that.

This concept from John Mielke would implant a special device under your skin which communicates via Bluetooth to your gadgets. Using a special smart-ink pixel painted on to your skin, the device projects a digital tattoo of a phone on your skin which you can interact with like a touchscreen. There’s even the potential to transmit 3G video conversations on your arm.
The device itself is powered by your own blood, converting oxygen and glucose into energy to pump up its fuel cell, so this concept isn’t one which will be popular with the bloodless crowd such as zombies, trees, or Rush Limbaugh (burn!). — Andrew Dobrow
What would you do if you were to lose your moleskin notebook or PDA as you scrambled around from errand to errand, desperately trying to finish all of your plans? You’d be totally clueless to what you had left to accomplish. The To-Do Tattoo literally adds a to-do list to the palm of your hand. Your very own “palm” pilot.
The set of tats comes complete with 12 rub-on tattoos, so you don’t actually need to get a real tattoo on your hand, of course, unless you want to. Hell, if the system works well for you, you might want to make it a little more permanent. — Andrew Dobrow
Personally, I’m getting a little tired of gaming tattoos, but each one that comes out sets the bar a little higher–which makes them hard to resist. The latest comes to us courtesy of Myck McClung at Three Saints Tattoo in Pensacola Florida. As you can see, this dude thinks the old Nintendo Power Glove is bad-ass. And I thought the Mario Throat Tattoo was hardcore. —Sean Fallon
This girl is my new love at the moment. Of course, she doesn’t know it yet. This true hardcore gamer got a tattoo of the Horde symbol from the popular MMO, World Of Warcraft.
Her WoW character is a Tauren Warrior, which is the same as me. Just more proof of our fate. If you wanna chat, check me out on the Archimonde server. The name is Zoejoe, and I will /say with you if you desire. That goes for all of you WoW junkies. /moo — Andrew Dobrow
