Crazy Video Game Tattoos

We thought we would take a look at some questionable gaming tattoos. The kind that are either a bad idea or not well thought out, or just plain wrong. Gamers love getting tattoos of their favorite characters, but sometimes, they just need a friend to stop them from making a horrible mistake.
Friends don’t let friends make bad tattoo decisions. Unless both of you have been drinking heavily anyway. Some of the images are NSFW. Click through to check them all out.
gameover

Game Over. For your dating life. At least you ladies will see this guy coming.

The Duck Hunt Tramp Stamp
The Duck Hunt Tramp Stamp Now I’m not gonna make any jokes about shooting ducks on a woman’s back. Promise.

A chest full of old school classics
A chest full of old school classics. What I love about this one is that if he keeps going, he’ll have the best shirt ever on his skin. But as it stands in this pic, it’s kind of a tube-top not pulled over his nipples.
Pac-Man 
In his spare time Pac-Man likes to use breasts in his mazes, just to change things up a bit. Yeah, this one is disturbing. Either they are intentionally hiding their breasts, or they have some sort of drippy nipple syndrome that requires napkin curtains.

Konami code?
Konami code? I like how the belly button is a question mark.

Super Mario buttcheeks
Super Mario buttcheeks. This guy tattooed everything but his warp pipe.

Pac-Man butt maze
Pac-Man butt maze. I always wondered just where Pac-Man went when he disappeared from one side of the screen and re-appeared on the other. Eww!


Bowser 
Cool Bowser/Hippie Tattoo. It’s what Bowser would look like if he smoked weed, surfed and had his own Jesus loving band….On the arm of a guy who smokes weed, surfs and has his own Jesus loving band…

Video Game Tattoos
The Power Glove Tattoo. You know, the Nintendo power glove was never that cool. We’re calling this a fail because if you are going to get a tat of the power glove, why would you not put it over your hand?

Ms. Pacman Head Tattoo
Ms. Pacman Head Tattoo. It’s always a good idea to mark your receding hairline with Ms. Pac-Man and some ghosts. Years later, you’ll always know where your hairline used to be.

I've collected coins, stamps, and badges.What do you collect??? Anything bizarre and odd?? Check out this wacky collections and collectors!

Smoke Sessions
Since 2003, Chinese collector Wang Guohua has been amassing cigarette boxes, some of which he now keeps in a room in Hangzhou, in China's Zhejiang province. The collection includes 30,000 cigarette boxes from more than 100 production areas spanning more than 10 countries.

Worlds Biggest Dalmatians Collector

Karen started to collect all things spotty after buying her dalmatian Ditto as a puppy.

Natalie Pennington - IFBB Bikini Pro

Natalie Pennington - fitness women - asian fitnessWhile doing research on these Asian fitness beauties, occasionally I run across someone that is so amazing, I can't believe I hadn’t found her before.
Stunning half Korean, half French IFBB Bikini Pro Natalie Pennington is one of those women.
I think Natalie ranks right up there in the top five most beautiful women I have ever presented on this blog.

IFBB Bikini is a new female fitness competition, just started this year by the IFBB (The International Federation of BodyBuilders), and at first, some people just looked at it as a glorified bikini competition, designed to sell more tickets.

But having seen these ladies in action, I think opinions are changing, as these women work just as hard as other female fitness competitors to get the look the judges want.
Some women have even crossed over from IFBB Figure over to bikini.

Back to Natalie though, this young lady can do something none of the other competitors can do.
She can make you look forward to a trip to the dentist.
Yes, Natalie is a full time dentist.

Natalie has appeared as a fitness model in issue 12 of Status Fitness Magazine, and I think you will see a LOT more of this gorgeous woman in the coming months.

Interesting Facebook Statistics - (Infographics)


Facebook's latest Privacy revamps have garnered a lot of media attention, much of it negative. A new infographic from Mashable helps provide some context with a broad range of facts about Facebook.
For instance, did you know that Australia serves legally binding court notices via Facebook? Or that Michael Jackson has the #1 most popular page on Facebook (followed by Homer Simpson at #2 and Facebook itself at #3)? Would you have guessed that women over 55 make up the site's fastest growing American demographic?
The graphic also provides some background on the Site. In 2006, the infographic shows, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg turned down a bid from Yahoo for $1 billion. Today, the social networking giant could be worth between $4 billion and $11 billion. It is estimated that Facebook currently makes about $1 billion per year selling virtual products and ads; by contrast, in 2007, estimates for the site's revenue were pegged at approximately $150 million.
The site's soaring popularity is due in part to its 400,000 active users, who log on to their personal pages at least once a month. Half of those users log on every day. And it's no longer a United States phenomenon: 70% of users come from outside the US.
Check out the infographic (below) for more facts about Facebook:
