A Tribute to Loved Ones: Ratchet and Clank Tattoo Dedicated To Dad

Tattoos are a visible celebration of memories and stories, allowing us to showcase emotion, messages, and memories in an art form. One Swedish gamer paid tribute to his father with a tattoo of the beloved video game characters, Ratchet and Clank, his dad’s favorite video game series of all time.

On Reddit, SwiftIy2 posted a picture the r/gaming subreddit of the Ratchet and Clank tattoo. Although his father is still alive, SwiftIy2 wanted to honor him while he still had the chance. His tattoo featured Clank, the robotic side of the duo because his dad used to play the first three Ratchet and Clank games on the PS2 every day. SwiftIy2 said that his father had completed all three of these games at least 200 times each.

This post quickly gained popularity and over 1.5k upvotes, with many leaving their own comments about their experiences with playing video games with their own families. The Ratchet and Clank series, which made its debut on the PS2 over 20 years ago, has remained a classic and a fan favorite. Clank and Ratchet stand out with their dynamic personalities, Clank as a methodical being, and Ratchet is a spunky one.

Though Ratchet and Clank fans still await what's to come in the next installment of the series, they can still look to the past to remember their beloved game and the memories they had with the characters. SwiftIy2 and his father’s story will forever remain a part of the Ratchet and Clank legacy.

In conclusion, Tattoos tell stories, evoke emotions, and make memories visible. As SwiftIy2’s story illustrates, tattoos can also be used to pay tribute to those who are gone or those who will always remain close to our hearts. Video games have been around for decades and have brought us together with family and friends. It’s no surprise, then, that many people choose to honor their favorite titles and characters by getting a tattoo.
