A Pretty (and Permanent!) Cortana Leg Tattoo

Long before Halo: Reach introduced the Hologram armor ability, our collective heart had already been captured by the original. Cortana, an A.I. whose purplish/bluish appearance consists of a projected holographic image of herself, is definitely one of the more fan-favored characters, but Outrider81’s dedication to her shines brighter than most. With a desire to display his love for everything Halo, he decided to get a Cortana-themed tattoo on his leg. The piece finds its inspiration from a variety of different places, “including the late great Micheal Turner, Halo concept art, promotional art for Reach”, and the individual styles of his talented tattoo artist. Taking a total of approximately 15 hours in the chair, it’s considered, at this point, to be a work in progress. I have no doubt he’ll finish it in a timely fashion though because he did, after all, make a certain girl a promise. And we all know how Cortana feels about that particular subject!

A Real-Life Halo Rocket Launcher: Hold Like This

A Real-Life Halo Flamethrower

While an impale-ready spike grenade, a music-emitting rocket launcher, and a glowing, blue plasma grenade have all transitioned from the video game world into a tangible state of reality, one imaginary Halo weapon that has yet to be recreated is the Flamethrower. Luckily Desolate made that exact realization and found the required inspiration needed to rectify the situation. Crafted from a nylon-like material that is strong yet lightweight, his fire-spewing projector was made to scale and sits at a very pretty 66.38 inches in length. I know I didn’t make a 40 pound heavy ground weapon or anything, but my ass can project a steady stream of a volatile, semi-liquid fuel. That’s gotta count for something, right? Feel free to erase that mental image by soaking in the plethora of flamethrower pictures after the jump. Dropping your brain into a big bucket of bleach may work as well. Either way.

Don’t Make a Girl a Promise: A Symbolic, and Amazing, Halo Tattoo

I have long held the belief that sometimes a game is more than just a game. Occasionally, hidden amongst the smallest of pixels, is the power to change our lives. Halo is that game to me, and it’s also that game to Jenny. When she found herself going through the trials and tribulations of an unexpected divorce, she popped Halo 3 into her disc tray, hoping to find a mindless distraction. What she discovered instead was a stress reliever, an outlet for meeting like-minded people, and, above all else, something to keep her sane through an extremely difficult time. Because of the impact it made on her life, she decided to give Master Chief’s helmet a permanent place on her body. Nestled upon a flower and a slew of brightly colored leaves, Jenny’s Halo tattoo serves as her own “personal symbol for life after divorce.” Normally, at this point, I would be insanely jealous, but in this case I think I’ll go ahead and share. There is, after all, more than enough of Master Chief to go around. You can trust me on that!
