Fairytaleblue is not the only one who's gotten an impressive tattoo of Game Freak's pocket monsters. A Reddit user going by the name ExplanationGreen posted a picture of the sleeve that they had done, which features a number of Ghost-Type Pokemon such as Gengar, Mimikyu, Bannette, Mismagius, and Aegislash. A lot of detail went into the tattoo, including a good amount of shading that helps make all the pocket monsters pop.
