Ben McCorkle of A Bubbling Cauldron of Rank Miscellany blog sent us this photo of his tattoo, inspired by the 80s Centipede arcade game by Atari! It was inked by artist f14hellkat. Thanks Ben!

Trivia: did you know that it was the first arcade game created by a woman? Her name is Dona Bailey (she programmed the game along with Ed Logg, who co-developed Asteroids.)

    We’ll see how it looks in 10 years after the ink fades. Nice wife-beater shirt, though.

    Sid: In 10 years, it will look like a swirl of color, like a surrealistic painting. Maybe his artistic tastes will have evolved in the intervening years so that he will then appreciate it in its changed form.

    maybe.
