Matsumoto's satirical take on the classic tattoo flash theme, "man's ruin" -- replacing gambling and drink with anime, role-playing games and soda.
Here's Matsumoto take on this illustration: "A modern satirical take on the famous "Man's Ruin" tattoo design. The design has several interpretations, but it usually has a pin up girl, alcohol, playing cards and dice. Look it up on Google and you'll see a bunch of examples."
"This is the Man's Ruin of today's generation. Computers, geek gadgets, anime, gaming, caffeine. God help us all."
