Full-back gamer tattoo

Posted by Cory Doctorow, October 4, 2007 3:58 AM | permalink

Now, this is a gamer-tattoo -- a full back-piece framed by an NES controller and the legend, "Leave Luck to Heaven." Link (via Wonderlandblog)

Update: From the comments, Cyberscythe sez, "The phrase 'Leave Luck to Heaven' is a paraphrase of the meaning of the word Nintendo."

Favorite this!

The phrase "Leave Luck to Heaven" is a paraphrase of the meaning of the word Nintendo. Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Nintendo

Don't know if you know this factoid already, but it's an interesting insight into the company.

Is it just me, or is it a disgusting irony that "Leave Luck to Heaven" is placed around a suspicious looking mole?

I don't know about paraphrase; "leave luck to heaven" looks like a legitimate translation to me. Better by far than the awkward translation on the wiki page.
