Mega Man has been featured in a countless number of games. I mean, seriously, depending on who you talk to and what titles they consider to be part of the accepted canon, or just an off-shoot, or a port, you could get as many different answers as their are strangely named bosses in the series (I’m looking at you, Pharaoh Man).
With so many games under his belt, The Blue Bomber deserves a focus on Gaming Ink. So here’s to all you fans out there who love him so much, you decided to have him permanantly etched into your skin. Really, let’s take a moment to stop and think about that for a moment… These people have Mega Man’s likeness forever burned onto their epidermis.
If that ain’t devotion, I don’t know what is.

The element I like the most about this tattoo is the way the armor is drawn, especially how the shoulder plates look like they’re screwed into Mega Man’s chest. While there’s no denying Mega Man’s coolness, he has a fairly simplistic character design. This tattoo, however, adds new depth to the overall design. Nicely done.
It’s all about the effects in this one. I love the shading, especially on the armor and on that clenched fist. The yellow/green aura surrounding Mega Man also sets this one apart from the crowd. According to my research, a yellow/green aura means “creative with heart, communicative.” Pretty impressive for a boy-robot.
This next design gets props for it’s simplicity. While it may lack the color and overall punch of the others, it still makes a definite impression. The style is unique and tastefully done, cool and stylish. It’s a fan showing his appreciation in a modest way. I like it.
