Killzone for Life… Literally

"It takes a certain type of fan to be passionate enough about a game to make yourself into a walking, talking advertisement. Well one Killzone fan did just that, by having 'Killzone' tattooed on his leg, forever showing his love for the critically acclaimed FPS."

I can MAYBE understand a Helghast symbol, but just the word Killzone?

[lociefer]

well cant blame him , the game is beyond aweosome

[gambare]

umm.... maybe a haircut with the helgast emblem on the back of my head.... nothing permanent but pretty awesome.

[ChickeyCantor]

" well cant blame him , the game is beyond aweosome"

I can blame him, i mean even if the game is awesome, faboysism like this is just extreme.

(but then again he did get a HDTV and PS3?)

[hakis86]

This is actually old news, seen that picture sereval months ago

I am sorry if you get a tattoo of a game on your arm, you might be a retard. And that would include all the idiots that got halo tatto's also. Just for the record.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

I enjoy many things, more than I probably should, but I ain't tattooing anything on my body let alone a game title (or anything related) for that matter. Not for a TV+PS3 either.

I think there was this one guy that tattooed something on his forehead and got $30k. At least he got $30k and not $2k worth of electronics that will depreciate.

[v1c1ous]

ever heard of viral marketing?

[Karum]

He probably used a few $ out of that $30k and got the ink removed and still came out with a nice profit.

Not seeing the down side to that one lol.

[Trebius]

The only tattoos I would expect anyone to get are retro type tattoos...like if I saw someone with a tattoo of mario's head (not huge) on his arm or something, I wouldn't think, what a geek...because Mario is and always will be what gave birth to video games.

I would probably sneak a little Star tattoo from mario somewhere on my body just to have it...small tattoos of games are ok, but your whole arm or back is just silly.

[DaTruth]

Pac-man says hi!

But I'm 30 and I am not old enough to get a Pac-man tattoo! That's even before my time.

Imagine a Double Dragon tattoo. Hm, maybe.

[iamtehpwn]

I give you mad props for being the only Nintendo Fanboy left.
I was, then I abandoned ship.
I'm aboard the S.S. Playstation now (I bought one the day it dropped to $400, and I haven't been more pleased with a system yet).
;D

[Traveler]

I absolutely love Killzone 2, but I wouldn't tattoo any game's name on my body.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

Do you think people are gonna spend $30k on marketing without considering that possibility?

Reality is that he was bounded by contract to not remove it. I don't remember the details though.

[MEsoJD]

Yeah sidars funny but Hey it keeps things interesting.

I mean some people can take the punishment of bad games on their system but not me. Nintendo died after N64.

PC/PS3 ftw!!!

[thesummerofgeorge]

If so... Problem solved.

[theEnemy]

The Helghast symbol would have been much much cooler.

[ObviousTruth]

exactly why tattoos are completely moronic. in hindsight, you almost always wish you would have gone with something else. and 10 years down the road none of his tattoos will mean anything.

never understood why ppl felt that they needed to identify themselves through permanently scarring their bodies.

oh well...not my skin.

[kparks]

WOW what a loser..... im one of the people that didnt care for KZ i bought it played it a while then gave it to a friend and then he played it and didnt like it so he gave it back and now its at game stop i cant give uall a reason why i didnt like it because i like FPS i just didnt care for it i dont know why the graphics were good tho didnt like the controlls that much

[Nelson M]

He could have had Halo Tattooed on his Arm

[Marquis_de_Sade]

If this tattoo is anything like the game, he will soon grow bored of it. I went back to Resistance 2/SOCOM as soon as I had unlocked most of the classes and side badges on my old, now hacked account, LibertineUK (that's before any of you claim otherwise based on my current PSN account).

And for those who say a Helghast symbol would be cooler, yes it probably would compared to this, but certainly not cool in relation to many other things.

[ChickeyCantor]

Wait did people actually think i was trying to bash a "sony" fan?
The same thing applies to those Halo fans.

sheesh...

"I give you mad props for being the only Nintendo Fanboy left.

Eh what?
Im a " Fan " Not fanboy, there is a difference you know.
And i own a PS3 too. So what was the point of your post really?
>_>?

[Marquis_de_Sade]

Yes, I'm not entirely sure why iamtehpwn made that comment, reported for off topic - ness anyway.

[-x.Red.x-]

crazy guy...

[Timesplitter14]

It'll look pretty hilarious when he becomes an old man and has the word "KILLZONE" on his leg

[farsided]

ah lol! i just got that!

[DavidMacDougall]

Looks like a bender

[LinuxGuru]

Just the Helghast or ISA symbols would be fine...don't put Killzone lol.

[mastiffchild]

No, it's waaay too much innit?

Did anyone else see the copy of OPM UK last year with all the tatoos people had? One guy had PS3 lettering, one had the Bioshock chains(like your char)and, iirc, a couple had Ammy from Okami(very colourful as well as MASSIVE!)among others.

However, and though it's my favourite as well, the one which beats all for fanboyism(even the Halo and KZ goons) was this guy who'd had a frikkin' Dualshock carved in ink on his calf-real size and in a palm!

Why? Tats, if you must have 'em, are for your footy team(for either sex) or a LITTLE decoration(for the girls at best)but definitely NOT your favourite games-and under NO circumstance take the console war so seriously that you end up with a controller on your body!

Madness, proper madness!

[Karum]

An awesome, likely expensive TV and a new PS3 for the price of a tattoo?

I'd have done it.

[heroicjanitor]

People are acting like he did it because of his insane love for killzone, I'd do it for a Sony Bravia and a new ps3, probably with killzone bundled.

[BYE]

Respect to you guys, I wouldn't wanna walk on the beach with a Killzone tattoo.

[UltimateIdiot911]

If I was married, yes but since I'm not I wouldn't get a tattoo like that for a TV and PS3.

[DaTruth]

I already have those! It wouldn't be worth it for a pair. Come to think of it I already have two 46" HD televisions in my living room so this is a definite no-no!

@HeroicJanitor: The people who are acting like that, didn't read the article, as happens so much on N4G

[ColossiSlayer]

And Killzone 2 in Helghan Script under it.....
All in all Viscari would be proud....

[TheColbertinator]

I prefer tats of the old nostalgia gaming.A tattoo of the NES controller,Sonic,Mario,Pac-Man ,etc.

Still if he likes his KZ tattoo,more power to him

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

yea thats a bit extreme. I like Killzone and all.... I mean i was the first person at my gamestop to go get it..... and I held it in the window for everyone to see on the drive home. But i don't think I'd get a tat.

[Kinetix]

Killzone is a good name though at least to have tattooed on your arms. Hell, most people don't even know what killzone is.

[kewlkat007]

Maybe he can tell a war story now, when some ask....it's not like the games got that much mass appeal.

Don't care about a TV and a PS3, the body is sacred and electronics is just a piece of plastic.

[DaTruth]

Is that Kringer?(don't know the spelling) If so, big up to He-man! "I HAVE THE POWWWEEERRRR!!!!!"

Ya, it's true, people will just think he's an Iraq vet!

[Defectiv3_Detectiv3]

Ah, to be young and naive. Tattoos are such an evil fad. I don't know if people realize that they are engraving something into their skin for the rest of their life. If they did, i'd hope they would get something a little more worthwhile then a videogame.

Its just sad that people need attention that bad that they litter their body w/ these ugly markings, 1/2 the time they aren't even original. Nothing is more unappealing to me than a chick w/ a tramp stamp. Especially when it is a cross or something related to religion. Shoot, they might as well get a picture of their mom tattooed on them if they want to find a better way to turn me off.

[cereal_killa]

"I'd hope they would get something a little more worthwhile then a video game."

So true but I've seen way worse then this..My 15yr old niece want to get herself tattooed and I told her I would take her when she's of age but I also told her to make sure it's what you want because it cost more to remove than put on.

"Its just sad that people need attention that bad that they litter their body w/ these ugly markings, 1/2 the time they aren't even original."

Not everyone is looking for attention I have a Full sleeve and working on my other one and really don't care what anyone thinks of the work I have done it's my body and preference to do so and you have the right to your own opinion and I respect that so I'm not jumping on you for using it.

[bjornbear]

o.O.....crazy

[Blow Out Your Brains]

LMAO, my friend has a SOCOM tattoo, I tell him he's a loser too.

[Double Toasted]

because the game wasn't that good...*sigh* but I digress.

[mastiffchild]

But if you'd liked his choice of game that would be perfectly sane?

[Double Toasted]

Its funny all the way around...and I'm sure I'll get even more kicks out of it from laughing at the people who defend his actions or disagree with me, HA!!

[table]

I'm thinking of getting solid snakes face in a nano communication pose over my chest and stomach.

[DaTruth]

That is probably the only series of games that is that good! Loving replaying MGS1 on my PSP! Just finished fighting my way up the Com tower 1 stairway!

Old Snake or young?

[table]

young snake from MGS2. Should be enough detail in those graphics... or I could go all out for a pixelated MGS1 look!

[PotNoodle]

The concept art for all the MGS games have been brilliant, if i were to get a game tatoo, it would be a copy the concept art for snake.

[FantasyStar]

Walking Billboard for Life CONFIRMED!

[blakstarz]

Totally ridiculous...I hope he is damn good at playing the game if you are going to get the brand name tatted on your body. I think the game is phenomenal, but too get a tat of that....just a lil over the top.

[DeThEoRy]

EPIC FAIL. WHAT A LOSER WHO WOULD DO THAT? KZ2 WAS BAD ANYWAYS, and no im not a xbot i only hav a ps3

[Traveler]

Killzone 2 is awesome. By far one of the best shooters I have ever had the pleasure of playing.

In any case, I agree that it is stupid to tattoo the name of a game on your body. But he didn't really do it because he was such a big fan of Killzone 2 but rather because he got a free HDTV and PS3.

[Etseix]

lol some people tattoo theyselves for no reason, i .. well, always had wanted to put the logo of warhawk on my back , u know, that one that says *Warhawk and the star in the middle, lol a tv... and a ps3 free with 2 games free?,.. mmm .. i dunno but, i think i would do this too :P lol

[Swan]

he needs to get out a little!

[Vitalogy]

This news is so damn old... pfff

[chidori666]

killzone 2 forever! THE BEST FPS OUT THERE!!!

[Lifewish]

i think he likes killzone 2

[keysy420]

ive seen some bad tats and thats pretty cool

[Raider69]

theres a girl i know that have tattooed on the ass the RED FACTION logo "the hammer",and the words KEEP UP THE FIGHT!i already joined the revolution!

[Javier19]

..................

[PS360PCROCKS]

dumbass.

[ChrisGTR1]

didnt killzone 1 suck ass? 2 was the one that was good.

[meetajhu]

The Best FPS just got an extreme fanboy! Killzone 2 is the best fps i have played but still i wouldn't do that. I completely changed my 360's skin to Helgast!

[Armyntt]

First off its dumb regardless of the game. If someone did halo it be dumb as fuk too. Then on top of that i never seen the big deal of KZ2. I rented it and thought, eh its ok i guess. Graphics on it were alright but i didnt think it was big deal. Im not knockin sony either. I thought Halo was weak too. Halo has great controls IMO. I know ill get bashed for this but i dont care the GeOW series still has the best graphics to me. Dont even tell me MGS4 either. The CG scenes were great but gameplay was avg. But I guess if i was gonna TAT a game it be my man PACMAN...... The whole first level with ghosts and the pellets lol.

[DJ]

With the impression that I was a fan. But this just takes it to a whole 'nother level!

[devilhunterx]

sicko!

[mfwahwah]

"(...)as a prize from an unnamed magazine."

I bet it's the magazine that's in the pictures.

[debuchan]

it's ok if it is only killzone not killzone 2 cause not all will recognize it as a game title.
It's no different having the words pain or death tattoo unlike having a green space marine everybody knows your masterchief's b1tch

[GravyPie]

I have got Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army tattooed along the length of my nob.
I have a rather tremendous nob.

[XLiveGamer]

wow fanatics are just stupid

A tattoo in your body its a fncking stupid idea but now a tattoo of a fncking video game name its way stupid. NO MATTER WHICH ONE SONY PS3 GAME, NINTENDO GAME or XBOX360 GAME is just stupid.

[Ninjamonkey]

Idiot...

[dopeboimagic92]

Personally, I would get that Kratos etching on the back of the red PSP's tattooed on me ;)
