Geek Out on Old School Nintendo Tattoos
Marissa Liu — October 20, 2009 — Tech
Did you own one of the original Nintendo Entertainment Systems? If you did, did you love it enough to get yourself a Nintendo tattoo? Super Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt are two of my all-time favorite video games; a piece of my childhood that is as precious to me as Princess Peach is to Mario. I spent hours shooting ducks and clay disks while playing Duck Hunt (sometimes I still do).
Whether you wear your geek pride on your sleeve or the small of your back, we ask the question, why would you ever want a dog who laughs at your failed attempts to shoot ducks imprinted on you forever?
