1. Didn't think they were geeky at all

Well, the HTML back piece was, but the rest were cool. I especially dug the Star Wars back piece!

8. he was doing a good job on the Star Wars people :o

Even though that's a huge giant tattoo.
Most of the pictures there were dumb.

I like this one-

And I kinda liked that Yoda one :blush:

2. a good friend of mine has "E=mc2" on his knuckles

which I love. He has a whole collection of amazing and funny tattoos, actually.

I thought most of these were just bad. And contrary to the person above, the HTML one is the one I liked.... lol Then again I am a nerd/geek and proud of it.

3. Hmmmm

Guess I should re-think getting my night elf druid tattooed on my ass...










kidding, I wouldn't do that.

19. Do you mean you're NOT going to re-think it?

If so, please post a pic when you're finished!

4. i'm embracing my geekatude..

There were a couple of them that i thought lacked something artistically (the wolf backpiece looks like the poor thing's standing on his head), but most of them i was impressed with.

Then again, i have an anime piece, a comic book piece, and a band logo permanently inscribed into my skin, so what do i know?!

5. Yoda?

Isn't that the Doritos chips guy? :rofl: Two of them were kinda cool, the rest... :rofl:

6. I can't think about tattoos without remembering a cheap, homemade

job a former neighbor of mine had: "BORN TOO LOOSE".

7. My older brother has a phone number on his forearm

He had trouble remembering his girlfriend Wanda's number, so he tattooed it into his arm where he could read it.

Poor dunce... she broke up with him 2 weeks later.

[Arkansas Granny]

14. And that's why you should never have someones name tattooed

anywhere on your body.

[stuntcat]

9. A guy my husband works with has "Hopless Romantic"

real big on his arm :rofl: like an expensive tattoo, hours spent on the mistake.
He's not really an English speaker and his friends and family probably aren't either. Maybe no one's ever gonna tell him what he's got.

[ghostsofgiants]

11. Maybe he actually IS a hopeless romantic?

[grannylib]

20. HOPless...they misspelled it...poor guy *lol*

[ghostsofgiants]

21. Shit, I didn't even notice that.

Haha, ouch.

[grannylib]

22. *lol* Yeah that would suck! It's kinda like the 'measure twice cut once'

thing - but 'check your dictionary twice, ink once!'

[ghostsofgiants]

23. There's a popular local band here that has a song called "Blood Red Beautiful"...

An overeager fan went out and got this:



Tattoos really should be planned out a little better by some people.

[grannylib]

24. Planned and executed...that is really pitiful. Or should I say pitifull??

*lol*

That is really bad on so many levels.

[ghostsofgiants]

25. Yep.

It was a really spur of the moment thing too. She posted on their message board asking where she could get a tattoo quick, and everyone there told her to wait, contemplate it for a while, and then have it done by someone reputable. A few hours later she came back and posted that. It was funny, yet sad.

I've been considering the tattoos I'm getting on Tuesday for about two years, and my artist has had a couple weeks to prepare. That's how a tattoo should be done.

[grannylib]

29. What are you getting? I have a couple planned to add to the two I have

and I spent a lot of time and thought on all of them. I don't want to wake up when I'm 80 with Tweety Bird on my ass, wondering what the HELL I was thinking *lol*

[ghostsofgiants]

31. These...

On on each tricep.

26. No beer for him, then!!!

Beer has hop vine flowers in it which make you sleepy.

13. There are quite a few sites out there about bad Asian tattoos.

Enjoy! :D

[GirlinContempt]

12. And I thought MY tattoos were gonna be nerdy

[LynzM]

15. Cool, thanks for sharing!!

:bounce:

16. Sweetness...

the Mario/Star Wars tats, look very nice...one of these days I'm going to get a HUGH superman logo on my chest.....and then I'll start wearing button up shirts/suits.....:D

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. Most of those are just uncreative and fucking lame.

The HTML tags one is geek cool, and while the Space Invaders one is just a readily recognizable icon devoid of personal creativity, I think it works as geek chic as well - it's simple, it's nostalgic, and it's an important icon.

And the Quake symbol, while also not creative (since it's just copying something out there already) IS a damn cool symbol, so I give props to that one, too.

But all the characters and other shit? It's just fucking lame.

Really fucking lame.

True geekiness requires creativity and uniqueness. Most of those are neither.

[MedleyMisty]

18. I liked most of them

But then I was a kid with a Nintendo back in the day.

27. geektooz...

28. I saw a girl with a Che Guevara tattoo the other week

I was like: "Gee, that's effing original." :)

30. The mac one is absurd..

The rest, meh, whatever floats ya boat!
