Wow, it’s not often you see a geeky tattoo turned into something as nice as this one. I love the subtlety of the Atari logo almost hidden in this piece on Angela. If you weren’t a geek growing up in the late 70s/ early 80s, you might just miss it! You can see the various stages of it being inked over on her Flickr.

Atari? Is that because it’s “retro”?
Christ on a bike.
Yeah, odds are this response will never be seen, but I have to mention it anyway:
It has nothing to do with being “retro” or anything like that. It has to do with the fact that I am very much the gamer, and even work in the gaming industry. And it all started with my parents buying an Atari VCS when I was little. So it’s a nod to my roots and my career in one – I wouldn’t be who I am today with out it.
i catch a bunnch of shit for my atari tattoo as well! only TRU gamers understand, your tatttoo is awesome
