Yep, we can't help but wonder if this isn't going to be something the "lucky" tattooed individual is going to regret one day. Let's hope it's not a permanent inking and just happens to be drawn on.

Duck Hunt tattoo showcases love for dogs, shooting, mockery

Arm morphed into Metroid tribute
Aeropause's Stephen Munn is either a fan of Metroid or of spherical game characters. We have yet to hear of any Kirby or Lolo tattoos, so we'll assume the former. This tattoo featuring Samus Aran curled up into a Morph Ball, based on Metroid Prime concept art, is worth at least five incomprehensible kanji tattoos and three or four skulls. It's that good.To (total weenies like) us, the most impressive thing about tattoos is that each one represents so much physical pain. For example, Stephen here loves Metroid so much that he was willing to be burned continuously with a needle for three hours. We haven't even committed to buying fabric for a plush Metroid yet.
N64 Rumble Pak perfect prison tattoo gun
A Kotaku reader, and prison guard extraordinaire, recently wrote in to talk about prisoners and their love of video games. Turns out, some U.S. prisons provide inmates with money to acquire video game systems as a reward for their hard work. This made the prison guards' jobs that much more difficult, though, as inmates would use the video game systems and various components to create things that weren't intended with their design.For example, inmates would take the motor out of the N64 Rumble Pak and in combining it with some ink and a needle, could fashion it into a makeshift tattoo gun. We imagine many of the convicts on the receiving end of such a tattoo weren't getting Mario's face put on their body.

Wii Warm Up: Do you rep gaming through tattoos?
You can see reader Nate's dual tattoos on the right, which he sent to us in response to a pair of stories about fabulous gaming tattoos. So, we started wondering who of you out there have gaming ink on their body somewhere. Personally, we're big crybabies when it comes to needles (seriously, stay away with those things), so a tattoo is out of the question for us, but we can imagine what it might look like; a large Samus graces our chest, firing at a Metroid.Do you have one? Are you waiting to get one when you come of age? Afraid of needles as we are?
Bowser and Mario battle it out on the body
Reader Jason wrote in to show us a pair of tattoos he has gracing his body, on each of his ankle's to be precise. He told us he had read another story showcasing another sweet gaming tattoo and felt his would be appreciated. Oh, they are! We've never seen such sweet Mario and Bowser tattoos before. They're so sweet, in fact, we were sure they were photochopped fakes.
Link inked
What better way to get gamer kudos than having your favourite character inked into your arm forever? Reader Mike Corbett sent us this fantastic Link tattoo, done by his wife. It's a great likeness of Zelda's hero.
How about you, fanboy readers? How do you show your devotion to gaming? Let us know, and send us pictures!
[Thanks, Mike!]
