Geek Tattoos...

[ChefChiTown]

From DNA to 80 digits (and counting) of pi, Wired.com readers take their geek tattoos pretty seriously.

We asked you to flash your decorated flesh, and you obliged with pictures of some pretty wild skin art. Now it's time for the rest of the world to bask in your dermatological commitment to geekery.

Wow, and I thought I was a dork. The sad thing is...these tools probably get laid more than I do.

These are too funny!! Did ya see the comic ones? Those are awesome!

 

[Spleen]

Geeky for sure, but all very nice designs. its better to have a well designed geeky tatto than a shoddy "cool" tattoo.

There was a kid who used to work for me that had USA (in CHINESE letters, mind you) on his bicep and the letters were colored in like it was the American flag. Worst thing I've ever seen.

Those all look like they would be on geeks. Pale white skin on all of them, looks like none of them has seen a speck of sunlight in some time. Dorks!

I was thinking about getting E=Mc2 tattooed, possibly in Hebrew as part of a design incorporating elements of science and Qabalah.

(I don't really believe in the mumbo-jumbo dogma of it, just like any other religious system. but also, like all religions, the mythology does have insight into psychology and human relations, and I just really like the artwork of it.)

I have a Triforce on my calf, the Duke Nukem radioactive symbol on my shoulder, and a Mortal Kombat dragon emblem on the inside of my bicep. I actually expected to see that. EGM used to have monthly pics sent in of gaming tats. :beer:

I want the DNA double helix. Maybe running down the side of my arm.

 

[Apex]

oooookaaaaay.....

[Funkwerkz]

I want a tattoo of circuits seen under ripped of skin and flesh, like Ana Matronic's tattoo.

I once worked with a skinny dork who had a tattoo on the back of his neck of a UPC symbol. I asked him what it was and he replied, "That's the UPC for the PlayStation 3 when I bought it!"
I asked him if when he walks out of WalMart if the alarms go off.
