I would say, "How will you explain this one to your grandkids?", but, honestly, I don't think that's going to be an issue.

I saw this earlier. I'm still wondering what's that under his mouth.

This is some serious fandome, here. Not one, but six pokeballs. I'm kind of curious to see what other work he gets done.

It's pretty cool to get a tattoo of something you really like but I want to know why he got so many of the same one in a row?

I feel like it ruins the aesthetic of the tattoo-dermal art.

That looks....gross.....The implants part I mean. Anime cry

I am all for tattoos (having one myself) but implants scare me. He will probably regret this in the future when he no longer likes Pokemon. It took me 3 years to decide on a tattoo that I know I'll still like when I'm old. And, surprise surprise, my tattoo choice is not anime related.

Yet I am guilty of wanting either a Kirby or a Gurren Lagann emblem tattoo. <.< >.>

I have nothing against tattoos... but that's just plain stupid. It looks really bad, imo... but then again, it might just be the horrible choice of design that I'm griping at.

The idea could be used more artistically and come out looking pretty nice... but this pokeball thing is just retarded.

Eww. I don't understand why people would want any tattoos in the first place, but that 3D thing is just beyond weird. Mad

His design is supposed to represent the fact that trainers are allowed no more than 6 Pokemon at any given time in their party when they travel/compete/etc.

Also, the article has a few errors. I'm stumped as to why "Ultra Ball (Hyper Ball in the Japanese version)" is mentioned and typed, yet the English name of "Super Ball" (Great Ball) isn't. And, HeartGold/SoulSilver is the second to last series to date (Pokemon Black/White being the latest and "last" so far). Canonically, Red and Green were first games, then Gold/Silver.

Wonder how much of an idiot he'll feel like when he grows up? Also I can't begin to imagine the health complications them implants may cause. What an idiot.
