Feb 9 2011DO NOT WANT TO CATCH ANY: Guy Gets Series Of 3-D Pokéball Tattoos On Arms

This guy got six Pokéball tattoos down his arm and the area beneath each stuffed with a subdermal implant to make them all appear 3-D. Not really sure what else to say, except rubbing elbows with him would almost certainly make me queasy. Not unlike eating a can of cat food because you lost a bet to eat a whole bowl of dog food without puking. Gambling problems: I have one. Also, a clogged sink and sore throat.
Um, Nice Pokéballs [kotaku]
Thanks to Stephen, who knows a guy with a tattoo of 3-D boobs on his arm but one of the titty implants migrated to dude's armpit. LOLWUT?!

Poké-eggs....hmm sure, why not?

I'm a tattoo artist and more than anything I'm bummed out at how blotchy those tattoos are. Those implants are easily (relatively) removed so with regard to his future the pokemon shit is more permanent.
And tattoos are so common now that the whole "what about your future" thing is so played out.... I put visible tattoos on people of all professions from bartenders to college professors, medical professionals, etc. Not that you shouldn't consider tattoos carefully, but good tattoos without offensive content don't seem to be a big problem with regard to employment anymore. The problem used to be that tattoos were a good sign that a person was shady. That's not really the case these days.

What's that other stuff near his elbow? That stuff that looks like zombie teeth...
16. Carl - February 9, 2011 11:36 AM
That's the slice they put in his arm to slide in the implants... then it was stitched up.
17. JC - February 9, 2011 11:41 AM
Yes. That is fucking disgusting. I believe that shit by his elbow is the incision they had to make to put those implants all the way up his arm. What a dumbass!!
18. Ray - February 9, 2011 11:47 AM

20. dickie - February 9, 2011 11:58 AM
hell i'm all about some pokemon. I still play the games from time to time. It was something i was really into when i was in grade school. I donmt even have a problem with the pokemon tattoo since i'm sporting a squirtle one myself. It's just those damn ball things in his arm are nasty as hell.
21. valerie - February 9, 2011 11:59 AM

@26
Illiterate people like you shouldn't be allowed to live.
Censoring everyone and ridiculing them for expressing themselves.
His life is his own. I'm sure if he wanted your opinion he would have gone directly to your ignorant ass and asked you.
Do me a favor, better yourself before judging others.

35. mcfeely smackup - February 9, 2011 7:54 PM
Clearly, this is just another example of how "together" this guy has his life..this along with the train wreck on his face you can see behind the arm.
Sorry, but all you tattoo freaks can say "it's become socially acceptable" all you like, but fact is if you cover yourself in shitty ink, you're going to work part time in independent record stores your whole life.
36. Really?? - February 9, 2011 7:57 PM
He probably had that done to distract people from the gross mole on his nose.
**Realizes later** "I bet the money spent on this hideous procedure would have been enough to get that mole removed and, AND I would never have become a source of ridicule to millions on the internet."
37. Hey Dickwad - February 9, 2011 8:06 PM
@35 - First, I will agree that there are far too many people out there that get shitty tattoos (e.g. Avatar man). Lucky for the rest of us, those tattoos help you spot the sort of people that probably don't have the intelligence to work anywhere more complicated than Walmart (don't disrespect record stores, let them die in peace).
Second, fuck you. Just because such idiots exist doesn't mean all tattoo art is a sign of someone being socially/mentally inept. Tattoos, when done well, are better than a lot of art out there and a fair majority of the people out there with decent tats are genuine people. So for you to lump them all into one category and write all tattoos off as "shitty ink" just labels you as an ill informed dickwad that I consider just as low in society as the people you poorly attempted to insult.

43. Micheal - February 10, 2011 12:39 AM
Your all pieces of shit.
His ink isn't poorly done, and pretty sure he can do whatever he wants. He's been in a longterm relationship with his boyfriend forever, and just because you're all badasses behind your computer I imagine you all get made fun of in real life.
Which would explain why you feel the need to disrespect Alex. It's his body, his choice.

47. Shawnabcdefg - February 23, 2011 6:24 PM
@#26 How the fuck does this kid deserve to die because of the way he decided to decorate his body? People like you are honestly way more fucking disgusting than any body modification. My friend knows this guy, his name is Alex. And from what I hear he's a really cool dude. It's a shame that everyone is so quick to call him stupid and say the way he chose to make his body more pleasing to him is disgusting. It's HIS body, and HIS choice do do what he wants with it. Whether you like it or not doesn't fucking matter.
And #36, that's not a mole. He has stretched nostrils, that's the plug you're seeing.
Go ahead and ridicule him for that too, you lifeless ignorant assholes.
