Showing just how far somePokemonfans will go to express their love for the collectible creatures, Redditor BlurrySandwich showed off a picture of their impressive Alolan Exeggutor tattoo. Making great use of the Psychic and Grass-type Pokemon’s unique anatomy, the feet of the Alolan Exeggutor are planted on BlurrySandwich’s ankle while the Pokemon’s long neck wraps around his calf until reaching its smiling, three-faced head just below the knee. Although Pikachu may take the top spot according to a recent study of the10 most popular video game character tattoos, this inspired ink shows thatPokemon’s other creatures can make for equally impressive body art.
Redditors responding to the unique tattoo were impressed by the whimsical homage to the long-neckedPokemon, though one respondent joked that it “Seems a bit short for an Alolan Exeggutor.” Another response complimented thePokemontattoo but winced at the pain that would’ve come along with getting inked on the ankle, leading BlurrySandwich to reply, “Yes that part definitely hurt more.” Feeling inspired after seeing the picture of the impressive Alolan Exeggutor, other Redditors responded with pictures of their ownPokemon-themed tattoos.
This impressive tattoo is a great example of just how dedicated somePokemonfans are to the franchise, and of the impressive art that it continues to inspire. And if BlurrySandwich ever finds themselves traveling through Miyazaki Bougainvillea Airport in Japan, it’d look great in a selfie next to thelife-size Alolan Exeggutor statueon display there.
