9)Tattoo time

Wince at the pain this poor girl put herself through simply to own a tattoo that she can’t actually see. The artist could have drawn anything on her back and she’d be none the wiser. Who’s going to be brave enough to let her in on the fact that she’s got Sonic, Pac-Man, Q-Bert and a giant NES pad on her back, when what she asked for was a portrait of Wayne Rooney?

10)Mario balloon

This is what we should have had running around our giant Mario Galaxy planet last month, but making a recognisable Mario from anything other than a colour printer and a piece of cardboard was beyond us. Congratulations to whoever made this one. It looks like it’s about to pop at any minute, and balloons scare us rotten.
