Okay, now I see why Dan and Brad... Now I see why they love this tattoo so much.

*extremely Vinny voice*

Just wanted to share a new portion of the video game-themed sleeve I've been getting done. Giant Bomb is not a video game, but it is so closely related to gaming and has been such an important part of my life for years and years that it just seemed natural to include it. And honestly, Vinny's shenanigans are so goddamn joyous and wonderful that it felt like the perfect tribute to this damn silly website that I love so much. Thank to all the crew, past and present and future, and I hope that Giant Bomb continues to be the raddest place on the internet.

Sorry for the many pictures and the weird angles, it wrap quite a bit and is slightly awkward to try and get a good photo of.

All of the work on this sleeve so far has been done by my very very awesome artist, Jeff O'Connor (who you can find at jeffart13 on Instagram!).

That’s awesome, man.

This is amazing!

Your artist did such a rad job on this!

That's great. Show us the rest of the sleeve! What else do you have there?

That's super rad! The artist did a wonderful job.

That's such a deep cut haha I wonder if you have an explanation ready for when people ask what's the story behind the tattoo. Looks great regardless!

Fantastic stuff. Great work by the artist, too!

Fantastic tattoo!

@heycalvero:I've got Red from Transistor, the butterfly that represents Chloe from Life is Strange, and the locket that Lonnie drew for Sam in Gone Home, as well as the mountain from Journey as a cap (the bar code on my forearm is from years ago, but we're gonna work it into the sleeve). I'm going to get something from Hotline Miami on the top of my forearm, below the Transistor that Red is holding.

@probablytuna: I just tell them the truth: it's from a video game. That question is never as fun for either party as the asker hopes; it's too personal, too abstract to relate to, or too meaningless to generate a conversation, haha.
