Need a pic of Mario Running with a hammer...

[allroy1975]

so..here's the story

I'm about ready for my next tattoo (have Pac-Man being chased by Inky and chomping dots right now) and I'm ready for another one. 

the next most addictive game to me after Pac-Man was Super Mario Bros.  I played and played and played and still play it a LOT.  I got a Nintendo DS lite just to play the New Super Mario Bros and used to play Mario Vs. Donkey Kong a ton on my GBA.  I was thinking about getting him tossing a fireball or something, but when he's tossing fireballs he's wearing a lot of white.  I don't want that much White in my tattoo....here's what I'm looking for:

I want a pic of modern mario running like this:



but dressed like this:




and instead of tossing fireballs holding a big hammer behind him
kinda like this:



but with a cooler looking hammer....kinda like this one seen in the corner


I can't find such an image.  Crazy, huh?  How hard would it be to draw up something like that?  I like to go into the tattoo shop with EXACTLY what I want.

I could pay someone if anyone thinks than can handle this.

I just googled 'mario hammer' in their image search and this popped up:

^^ What game is that screenshot taken from?  Why have I never seen that?

[allroy1975]

It's Mario vs. Donkey Kong for the GBA.  totally sweet puzzle kinda game.

Are you going to have the tattoo done in color, or just black and white?

Are you wanting it to look flat in color?  That is what I would recommend, less work for the tattoo artist to visually guess.  The reason I ask is the fire throwing image is 3d looking. 

[allroy1975]

I know it'd be easier to have it flat, but I though it'd be cool if it had some shading too it.  maybe not THAT 3d looking, but...you know..some shading.

I'm sure he won't mind, but you may want to ask where he has the tatoos first.
