Not a traditional stitchgasm, but a big thanks to AlexCateye for bouncing this awesome tattoo in my direction [via bmezine.com] The nit pickers among you might decide it’s pixellated rather than cross stitched, but it’s close enough for me.
And so is this one from Nick Baxter:
What do you think – cool?

I have been killing myself trying to design a kick ass cross stitch tattoo. I have seen some killer sewing maching and knitting tats. These are pretty cool.
Back to the drawing board for me.
Done, Ruby.
This is very, very cool, and gives me an interesting idea. Maybe I can use the video game graphics from the first Sam and Max game to design my Max tattoo in cross stitch… 
awesome. thanks for sharing
It’s a committment, that’s for sure.
I do love how pixels and cross stitch are merging into 1990 video game nostalgia.
Either way, cross stitch, pixelated, it’s RAD.
I must admit I’ve been thinking about some sort of Mr X Stitch tattoo and this is quite inspiring.
The top one totally looks like a cross stitch pattern (because of the black outlining) and it’s pretty awesome.
The bottom one looks more like a pixelated picture and is just beautiful. I love how it goes from realistic to pixelated.
