The thought of having a needle, or a couple of needles, pierce your skin over and over again for hours is enough to make some people sick. The process is painful, and much like the gameplay in Dark Souls, tests your willpower and patience. As s꧙omeone who has multiple tattoos, I can tell you that not only is it an expensive fashion stateౠment, but it takes dedication to get an image permanently carried around on your skin. These badass chicks have such a love for the games they play that they needed to carry a reminder of their struggles and their triumphs with them forever.

The things I'll be noting is that these tattoos have a few technical parts that I will briefly explain. Line-work is looking at the outline, or really any lines of detail within the piece. Good line-work is straight, smooth lines with no bumps or blowouts. Bad line-work looks scratchy and like a 5-year-old drew it. Blowouts are where the artist either did the tattoo at a weird angle, or their needle went too deep, causing the ink to fade, or create a shadow along a line (think of when you erase pencil with a crappy eraser). Saturation is how well the ink took to the client's skin. Good saturation gives off bold color and is vibrant, where badly done tattoos will have weak coꦡlor and are faded. Contrast is how good the image stands out from its background.

20 ♒Triforce On FaptainxAmerica ♚

Nothing like a well done chest piece on a beautiful girl to bring back memories of reminding people that the main character is actually not called Zelda: his name is Link. This ink is a great tribute to the Triforce from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Legend of Zelda. The line-work is smooth, and the color is not only well saturated, but choosing to put the bright yellow next to the bold black makes for great contrast! This tattoo looks to be modeled after the Triforce symbol that was made popular by The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and has been a fan-favorite for tattoos ever since. Seeing one done big and bold, with such precision work and great use of negative space, makes this a tattoo that our boy Link would be proud to ꧃wear.

19 𒆙 Sailor-Sylveonn: Ready To Take On The Elite Four

Looks like this sailor has done her training and managed to nab all of the Gym badges from Pokémon! The linework and color in these tattoos is perfect. Great saturation of the ink, as well as crisp lines, make for a readable and flattering tattoo. All I have left to ask her is what Pokémon she brought into battle for each gym, and who she picked as her starter. The nicest part of this tattoo is that even if you do not have knowledge of one of the most popular games in video game history, the tattoo on its own is a great piece of art. While that tat must have hurt, nothing hurts more than lo▨sing to Brock and his Onyx with my little Squirtle.

18 Kinda-🦄Awkward-Foxtails And The Firefly's Ink

While she isn't showing as much tattooed skin as some of the other ladies on our list, she has one of the most badass gaming tattoos out there. That symbol is the symbol of the guerrilla combat experts called The Fireflies in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Last of Us. It's very well-done, well placed, with clean precision line-work. The Last of Us is one of the saddest video games out there, and🐷 The Fireflies are a beacon of hoꦗpe in the corrupted, apocalyptic hell that the world has become. This tattoo is a great representation of the in-game character's rebellion, with the added effect that only hardcore fans will recognize this sick gaming piece.  The only thing more bold than Kinda-Awkward-Foxtails' hair is going to be how bold that all black piece is going to stay.

17 🐽 PistachioZombie Flies Us To The Moon

Her awesome outline to a great tattoo is a fantastic tribute to The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. The haunting mask, worn by Skull Kid throughout the game, is accompanied by a perfect copy of the Moon from the nights in Majora's Mask. The two fairies, belonging to Skull Kid and Link, make their appearance floating down from the Mask to a Young Link ready for combat. This piece looks great just as an outline, with bold clean line-work and great contrast between the dark blacks and the use of negative space. While that mask gave me nightmares as a child, it's a badass, solid tattoo. The artist clearly captures the feel of the game, with its💜 strange and dark overtones, into a piece of art I'd pay good money for.

16 Hebij♋oKitten And Skull Kid ♑

Let's just keep on truckin' with the The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask themed tattoos! This representation of Skull Kid and Tael is masterfully done by the artist. Majora's Mask is one of the darker, scarier Zelda games made, which seems to go perfect with HebijoKitten's punk-rock look. The placement is great, allowing for a clear image of the tattoo to🎃 be seen at an attractive angle. The color saturation within the tattoo is great; she's going to have a vibrant tattoo for a very long time. The line-work looks great with no noticeable blowouts or color outside the lines. The attention to detail in this piece is what makes it stand out among all the rest as a great tattoo. A badass gaming tattoo for a badass chick!

15 JennaBeth10: Do A Barrel Roll! 🤡 ﷽

Do a barrel roll! Everyone has fond memories of Peppy the Hare shouting 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Fox's signature quote. The only thing we remember more is saving Slippy's terribly piloted ship from impending doom. This Arwing looks great, flying in at high speeds! Going for a more minimalist look, with less detail, this tattoo easily identifiable and was a great artistic choice. The clean exhaust lines behind the engines made the whole piece feel more dynamic and gave the whole tattoo depth and movement.  The colors look bold, with awesome line-work holding the whole piece together as a great homage to everyone's favorite space animal squadron. Maybe Jenna is the co-pilot you want for when you take Andross on, and help you forget how bad Star Fox Adventures was.

14 💃Lola Cola And The Ladies Of Overwatch

This Overwatch themed tattoo is super badass! Any fan of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Overwatch recognizes D. Va's signature Bunny Rabbit logo. But more than that, this tattoo represents all the women of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Overwatch! We see Mercy's wings, Pharah's Rockets, Symmetra's Shield, a snowflake for Mei, and a blink from Tracer, all of which make for a dynamic, neo-traditional tattoo that any gaming fan would wear with pride. She will have to continue her sleeve to better represent Widowmaker, Ana, and Orisa, but we'll just let that slide for now. The line-work and color saturation are impeccable, and the placement and artistry in the arrangement is unmatched. The color choice is what makes this tattoo really stand out. The bold, bright colors make this a beautiful piece, and with the saturation supporting that, this tattoo is going to look great in the yea🧜rs to come.

13 ꦅ Yoshiisbeast And Her Baby

Okay, this thing is way too freakin' cute! Everybody loves Yoshi, and everyone has had the heartbreaking moment of ditching our Yoshi to make that leap to safety. This tattoo is utterly adorable. The line-work is solid, with the perfect Yoshi shade of green ink to make our favorite dinosaur into our favorite little baby dino tattoo. The half-egg was a great artistic choice, making the tattoo have depth and a sense of scale. The colors are really what blows me away, here. The saturation is precise, making for a long lasting tattoo that will keep its bold colors. Once her skin recovers from the needle-pounding it took, it should turn into a beautiful, bold piece. If this doesn't make you want to replay Yoshi's Story, nothing will!

12 Aku Aku An🌃d MaryCemetary

Ahh, Crash Bandicoot's witch doctor has never looked better than paired with a badass pair of combat boots and inked onto a lovely woman. Now, what I'm not sure about is if you grab that tattoo three times if it will make you invincible for a short time, just like in the game, or if MaryCemetary would take your hand off before you were able to find out. Aku Aku, who has the coolest voice line in history, is one of the most iconic parts of the Crash Bandicoot series. The tattoo itself looks great, with solid line-work and good placement. Adding in the fruit and boxes helps make this Crash tattoo have even more attention to detail. The colors could have been a little more bold in my opinion, but🐟 overall, it's a badass and great gam💖ing tattoo.

11 BioShock Splicer By Katelyn Crane 🎶

BioShock's Splicers have never looked so good. This neo-traditional Splicer looks significantly better-looking than any Splicer I've seen in any 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bioshock game. The classic pin-up look mixed with the blood and the horror of a Splicer add for a nice contrast in terms of artwork. The color work and attention to detail is what really elevates this tattoo into a work of art. The glowing blue butterfly shows any BioShock fan that the artist used a Splicer from BioShock 2 as a reference material. Pin-ups are one of the harder types of tattoos to get to look attractive on the skin, so this artist cl๊early has some talent in working with a needle. This piece is just as awesome as the game it comes from!
