Limit Your XBLA Avatar's Life Prospects With Tattoos

If your Xbox 360's Avatar has been pleading with you for a tattoo for what seems like an eternity, now you can get him off your back. Tattoos are now available on the Avatar Marketplace, letting you express your individuality from a series of templates. It's just like real life, only without the needles!

The tats will set you back between two and three bucks, depending upon how elaborate your needs are. Interestingly enough, the simple Mom in a heart design is more expensive than a set of full-on sleeves. And unfortunately there aren't any facial options or hand options at this point. C'mon, Microsoft! I want the world to know how much I enjoy Drake!

y do people pay for these things. this kind of spending is way beyond pointless. i'd give those extra bucks to a hobo or sum.

This is just sad. Money for items that are purely for milking.

I had NOT seen the Drake tattoo. Oh man, that's ridiculous. And Drake's response was so...eloquent. Yeesh. Anyway, I don't really understand the fad of spending money for your XBL avatar. No one else really looks at those things very often.

Nice way to express your feelings on tattos in the title, Cork.

Once again, who would buy these?

Not everyone has these ugly tattoos. Would be cool if you could make custom tattoos. Or at least give a much larger variety. These are kind of lame.

Yes! They took away guns and now we can make our avatars look like dirtbags!

Wow... I was hoping it would never go this far.

I have a master chief costume on.

I want my avatar to be able to do the Soulja Boy!

No. Give us back our guns!

I don't see why you would ever spend money on the appearance of a digital avatar. Aren't there better (gaming) uses for your money?
by Gregg Thursday, January 05, 2012 at 11:04 PM

If these were free, I'd do it. But I've already spent enough money on my REAL tattoos and therefor won't spend more money to make my avatar inked as well.
by Jake S Sunday, February 12, 2012 at 07:41 PM

I care for my avatar, but not enough to spend money on him. I currently have to try to get avatar awards for my avatar if i want ANYTHING for him at all.
