The creator of Terraria has shown off a couple of new tattoos inspired by his own game.

Andrew “Redigit” Spinks, the president of studio Re-Logic, took to Twitter to reveal two tattoos inspired by Terraria. On one shoulder, Spinks has both the iconic forest tree that appears in the game’s title screen and a version of the Terra Blade inspired by fan-art that incorporates the blade into a mock-up of the cover art for The Legend of Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link.

The artist who created the Zelda fan art replied to Spinks' tattoo post and took credit for the art that inspired it. The artist goes by GreyL1me on Twitter andpixivand confirmed that Spinks had previously reached out to make sure it was OK to use the blade design for his tattoo.

More recently, Re-Logic “gave an update on just how massive the Terraria fanbase has grown” and revealed the survival juggernaut has outsold Super Mario Bros.
