Killzone for Life… Literally

PlayStation LifeStyle writes:

"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 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?)

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.

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.

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.

1.11 - You know...
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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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!

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

I'd have done it.

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.

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.

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.
