We're no stranger to seeing Nintendo fans getting "inked up" here at Nintendo Life. Over the years we've seen the worst ever Charmander tattoo, a ink-covered gaming comedian and even someone who adorned his wrist with a 3DS AR Card tattoo.
Splatoon only hit the shops last week and we've already seen tons of awesome fan-art, but Chris Becker - aka @Nintendad - is already such a fan of the game that he's committed an Inkzooka-wielding inkling on to his arm for life. Now that's commitment to the cause.
What do you think of Chris' choice of tattoo? We know that part of the fun in Splatoon is getting inked, but do you think perhaps this is taking it too literally? Or do you think it's an awesome way to show your dedication? As ever, drop a comment below to tell us what you think.

I love tattoos and splatoon is great........but no!
It's hard to say someone has thought something through when there has been so little time to mull it over yet. Having said that, the pic he's chosen is one of the better images he could have gone for.....I just hope he agrees in 10 years
I'm not a fan of tattoos,at least on myself.I have a couple of indian ink ones I had done (butchered) in my youth that could really do with covering up but would rather just leave the hideous mess as is than get a proper one that I may regret even more.That said,my love for Splatoon is so inkredibly high at the moment I actually think this looks pretty cool.
I think the title should be called "Man Gets Inked With Splatoon."
I still say video game tattoos are never a good look.
I think that the artwork of Splatoon makes for a beautiful tattoo.
I think it looks awesome .
Awesome.
I would have gone for a squid personally, but to each their own
Blokes an idiot.
what a crunchy teal orca. He's gonna regret getting the tattoo in a few weeks, when the novelty and the hype for the game dies out...
Neat! But, no.
Wow it is already so big people are getting tattoos?!
Haha. This is the equivilant of getting a girls name inked after your first kiss.
Still, i've seen worse out there
I'll never understand how people jump to tattooing stuff so quickly after liking him/her/it, but at least the design looks rather cool.
Still, you'll live to regret it, "Nintendad".
Eew. That was very ugly!
I think it looks great and really who cares what others think. If you like your own tattoo that's all that should matter.
It is true that tattoos stay forever, but if you can show what you love with it, why not. For me, this is just awesome and shows the dedication of this guy. I would do this too (not with Splatoon) but I'm afraid of needles >n<
I like it, but this game has not been out for long at all. Usually you see people get tattoos of things they love for a long time, not for a game that hasn't even been out for a week.
My buddy has a Mega Man X tattoo with X and Zero and its badass. But he's been playing Mega Man X since we were children.
I have a Triforce on my left rib cage, Raphael from TMNT under my right collar bone and I'm getting six pokeball tattoo'd on my right hip next week, which will be number 7(-12 if you consider each ball its own tattoo.) But these are all things I've loved since childhood and still do.
I just hope in six months he still likes the game and that tat.
Tattoos are gross end of discussion.
@AmericanCrusade Well, luckily, thats your opinion, not fact.
Enjoy carrying that ugly piece for the rest of your life.
@Grimlock_King It is not that ugly. To be honest, it is a good copy from the original drawing/rendering.
More power to him, I have a 1up mushroom on my wrist that I got over 10 years ago and no regrets. At least the artwork looks good.
I'm still designing my back tattoo just because I know it needs to be something I won't mind when I'm 70. As a woman I'm not a fan of tattoos anywhere else as it severely limits what you can wear. One day...one day. I think most tattoos are nice but people that get them on their hands, feet and head...woo that is some courage I will NEVER have.
That was done in one session? Wow! That's a lot of work in a sitting.
My goodness, you guys all sounds like a bunch of old fogeys, the way you talk about tattoos as a whole. The "You'll regret it!" talk is awfully pretentious, besides. People can do whatever they want with their bodies, and there are certainly worse tatts to get than this one.
It looks great, by the way.
Well stupid is as stupid does. People with Tattoos have the money to WASTE on them. They also have the money to BURN THEM OFF. You can have an Tattoo removed as well, which mean you need to have money to WASTE BURNING OFF THE TATTOO YOU HAD BEFORE.
Speaking of Tattoo, I once saw an man with an space-age tattoo of the planets. Must have been from the 1960's or so because the man was extremely old and megar. Thin with his skin being really tight but old as well.
I mean seriously I do not hate Tattoos but I hate seeing people with them. Like I see girls with these bright beautiful flower tattoos but I think they are not good of quality at the same time.
