I ran into Miguel at Target tonight, as I contemplated purchasing a PS3 for myself for the holiday season. Miguel’s story was that he was “Done with the game” and the knuckles were his dedication to that idea.

GAME OVER
Hey, im Rania…The story behind my tattoo is obviously my love for retro video games and the fact that im a game design student. Space Invaders was the first game i ve ever made (copied basically) and actually worked and i was pretty excited :D

GOOD GAME
Spazy For The Win sends us these really sexy knuckles.
Decided to get Good Game because im pretty much a gamerholic and i ALWAYS say Good Game without fail on any game what so ever and have done for years and years so thought it was fitting. Good Game Guys!
GAME NERD
I met Chago out side of the Texas Rollergirls match last week. He works at Super Chango Studio up in The Woodlands, Texas (just north of Houston). Here is what he says about his knuckle tattoos:
Well since I was a kid I always played videogames but it never was as “serious” until I was introduced to Halo, which was actually Halo 2 so to this day I have played halo almost every night.
GAME OVER
Got these a long time ago, and I’m just now getting them up. Sorry it took so long Robert, but here they are, with your story:
If it is art, how can it be wrong?
My first tattoo was “GAME OVER” across my knuckles.
I’ve been a gamer since roughly the age of three. Or, well, since I developed the motor skills to differentiate A, B, and a directional pad.
I’ve been saving the princess for seventeen years and, since I won’t ever be getting a “real” job with tattoos on my hands, I’ve dedicated the rest of my life to gaming and the likes.
The tattoo was done by Shawn Booth in Valdosta, Georgia. Or, as we know him as “the guy with Darth Vader tattooed on his throat.” No kidding. He has Darth Vader tattooed on his fucking throat.
He is my hero.
To the grave,
Robert Johnson
