Geek Ink : Geeky Tattoos

1. lol- I love geek tats. None of the 10, yes 10 that I have are geeky per say, just girly. I once thought of having tattooed somewhere, since I always typed that in IMs and a few times on my blog, but thought people would think I was nuts. If anyone wants to see the few pics I have- I don’t have all 10 (latest is a ladybug on my foot), just email me at afrogtokiss@gmail.com

2. Beth: That’s a lot of ink. I’m sure I’ll catch up to you. I got such a late start with it because it took forever to be 100% sure of what I wanted.

3. lol…. I like that it just like this one… html language tattoo http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d8/Geek_Tattoo_html.jpg

4. oops the tattoo I had thought of didn’t show up even with spaces. It was /end rant.

5. 1. No, I don’t have any.
   2. I have to say your parallel port :D , but I’ve also seen a tattoo of Ctrl-Alt-Del buttons.
   3. No, I don’t know what to get in that case but maybe I should go for my company logo….

6. mxyzplk: I like that one, too. I just wish I’d thought of it first. There are a ton of HTML/programming/*nix jokes that could apply to body art, though.

   Andreas: I thought of the company logo idea, too, but what happens if you sell your company one day? It’s the same reason I decided long ago to never put a girlfriend’s name on my skin. Now if the logo is really cool, on the other hand, maybe. I inked the Firewire logo on my back simply because it shows up next to the actual port on devices quite often. The same will happen when I get my USB port, etc.

7. @Joe you put your trademarks, domain names and logos in a holding company and lease it out to your business running company. Then wen you sell your business running company you transfer the assets you don’t want any more to your business running company for a huge sum of money. That way you can keep your logo in your holding company and start new projects using it :)

8. Hey there,

   Thanks for featuring one of my photos. The guy with the OMG, LOL! tattoo go it, as i remember, as a gift to himself after finishing college.

   I wish I could find some more people with such tats…

9. Those are some really cool tats. I usually go for mythical creatures or japanese designs but I really like the love hate code

10. Good Gawd…I have so many “home job” tats that I did when I was a kid. None are geeky though, just stupid. lol. I got the “hearts” and the “initials.” The cross and the ex’s name too! Hopefully, someday I can get them covered with real tats and get rid of these!

11. I have “1000101” tattooed on my arm.

    I guess I’m around enough geeks. Some people have actually known what it was without any prompting whatsoever.

12. both my geek tattoos are works in progress (they’re done with prison scratchers unfortunately, i’m waiting until i can afford a proper machine to fix them up). the first isn’t really “geek” but some might recognize the internet site i robbed the artwork from.

13. I don’t have any ink, mostly because I can’t commit to anything for that long…I worked with a guy who had Street Fighter characters tattooed on his head….

19. haha I love it! I am a computer geek as well. I’ve wanted a barcode also since I can remember first wanting a tattoo. I wanted the barcode to actually scan.. but I didnt know what barcode I wanted to use. I have 3 tats.. and I’m getting a tattoo tonight (hence why I’m searching tattoos through google)… and I’m getting the Evolution of Mario.. from the pixelated 1981 version to the newest 3D verison. =D If anyone would like to see the pics email me at amg012@uncp.edu.

20. Ashley: I definitely want to see the pics. That’s awesome.

21. Well, I’m flattered that you like my Tank Girl tattoo, but it would have been nice to be informed that you’re using my photos.

22. Nikki,

    I apologize. I thought I had contacted everyone. It’s a great tattoo and I appreciate the use of the photo. I’m sorry I didn’t contact you about it previously.

23. those are great, where’s part 2?

28. Hey,

    Is that barcode tattoo similar to the one Neo has in the Matrix? I could be getting mixed up but it looks very similar to me…either way its a cool tat. I’ve got a massive sun on my back, its about 25cm in diameter. Ive had it for about 10 years now so its not as defined as it once was.

29. Muy bueno e interesante artículo. Adiós!

30. After read your article now i’m thinking bout my first tatoo..

31. I have a classic bat signal tattoo on my foot. :3
