In news that’s news because there’s no other news today, you can now get your Xbox LIVE Avatar tattooed. Or, more specifically, you can buy a range of tank tops and sleeveless vests that come with a sort of a accessory tattoo. It counts.

Your Avatar’s body isn’t a temple, it’s more like a flophouse, so go ahead and tag the walls.

Predictably, it’s mostly the sort of tacky tribal and Kanji tattoos that you’d get on a drunken binge on holiday in Bangkok only to instantly regret it, forever and ever, although I see there are some stars in there and I already have a bunch of star tattoos so the stars are cool.

For some reason, there are a lot more options for male Avatars than female Avatars. I’d have a rant about it being a big sexist disgrace, but the tattoos excluded for women are particularly hideous so I’m giving this one a free pass.
