27 Nostalgic Tattoos for National Video Game Day

View this post on Instagram

Image from the game “A Link Between Worlds” I added to John’s Zelda chest piece. The letters “Life” and the hearts were there from a previous artist. Also the Ocarina on top was there and we are going to fix that next time. Thanks John for being the best client ever. — Done with @eternalink @fkirons @stencilstuff #eternalink #stencilstuff #hushanesthetic #fkirons #fkironsproteam #truetubes #quickcaps #ohanaorganics #redemptiontattoocare #republictattoosupply #acostattoo #tattoo #tattoos #art #artist #tattooartist #austin #tx #texas #ink #inked #tatuaje #acostattoos #andresacosta @exile_artcollective #zelda #link #zeldatattoo

Collaboration tattoo I did with my friend @aaron_springs a few days ago at @reddaggertattoo 🙂 it was super fun. We both worked on controller and space, so it was a good balance between our styles, extremely happy with the outcome. This was done next to an awesome @tymcewen sleeve. We’d love to do more collabs so hit us up. I miss you already bro! @eternalink @fkirons @stencilstuff @fytcartridges #eternalink #stencilstuff #hushanesthetic #fkirons #fkironsproteam #truetubes #quickcaps #republictattoosupply #ohanaorganics #redemptiontattoocare #fytcartridges #acostattoo #tattoo #tattoos #art #artist #tattooartist #austin #tx #texas #ink #inked #tatuaje #acostattoos #andresacosta @acostattoos #nintendo #space #spacetattoo @nintendo

Lines and background are healed – Pokemon are fresh. There is a big ol’ coverup under this too! If you wanna cover an unhappy with tattoo with something that will make you smile – get in touch! We can fix it! 🙂

The full Bulbasaur evolution piece – Bulbasaur is obviously long healed, everything else is fresh. I’d really love to do more pieces that are a single evolution line as it was super fun!

I occasionally get messages asking if I would be able to do colour tattoos on skin that isn’t Caucasian. The short answer is yes. Obviously it depends on how dark your skin is, but often you can still achieve super bold and bright colours on different/darker tones (as with this Spyro). If you’re unsure about getting colour because of this reason, don’t be afraid to email me!
