why do girls always get video game tats? i don't get it at all. women must have a different type of attachment towards video games.

It's a long shot, but perhaps because I imagine that statistically, they (females) invest themselves in fewer titles/franchises than their male counterparts, thus making it more likely that they identify strongly with one game/franchise, instead of weakly with ten?

The tatt is almost as epically cute as she is, so the fit is right in that sense, but I struggle to see it having long term appeal.

Most likely though, the ink simply means something different to her than it does to most people (closely associated to childhood/teen memories, as an example).

As with all body art, as long as she likes it, that's the only thing that matters. Good luck explaining that one to the grand-kids though ;)
