Over the past months we’ve been working on a little project here: Getting various Monkey Island artworks (2 packshots and an ingame scene) tattooed. Now, the first of three tattoos is finally finished. It’s the packshot of Monkey Island II on the right calf (with a little variation, of course).
But why Monkey Island?
It’s not only because I’m mostly a nerd, but also because Monkey Island builds a bridge to what I’m doing today. I was a teenager when I discovered Monkey Island and got excited right from the start. Simply put, Monkey Island got me addicted to the IT and that’s why I want to keep it in memory this way.
… and because I’m a mighty pirate! Yaaarghw!
Since my tattoo artiste spends her summertime in San Francisco, CA we’ll get back to work in October or November with the packshot of Monkey Island 1 on the left calf. Meaning, it’ll be finished around spring next year.
Hey dude!
I’m getting the SoMI cover-art as a half-sleeve!

Nice! Any pictures with a better view on the lower part with the characters?
YARRR!
lmfao, I was googling ‘monkey island tattoo’ to see if there’s another nerd like me that wants to get one and there you are :) and for exactly the same reasons :)
I’m thinking something different for myself but when I’m done I’ll let you know if you’re interested :)
