This week’s pics examine the ultimate in permanent geek cred: the geeky tattoo.

A love/hate relationship with HTML:

A Klingon in disguise? (That’s right geeks - The tattoo is real, and so is the booze in that flask)

Tastes like salt:

USB-compatible:

It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this:

Turn me on:

For when you need to grow up:

The tattoo that must not be named:

Drawn in ink am I:

I will add that this last one was particularly hard to pick… it turns out that a whole lot of people choose to decorate their bodies with Star Wars.

Do YOU have a geeky-themed tattoo? If so, then feel free to show it to us by leaving a link to a picture of it in the comments! We’ll have to moderate each one of them manually though, so if the link doesn’t show up right away when you click “add comment”, you’ll now know why.

Not instantly recognizable, but it’s a tattoo I got of a symbol for Auguste Comte’s positivist philosophy. Comte coined the term sociology and I’m a sociology teacher, so it seemed appropriate.

In a couple of weeks I’ll be getting my 4th tattoo, but my first geeky one - a tribal arm cuff with coloured gaming dice overlaid ^_^ Telling the world “Yes, I’m a D&D geek!”

Ha Ha Ha , the worst thing is that the tatoo representing salt (NaCl) is wrong, sodium and chloride don’t have a covalent bond, they have an ionic bond, so the tatoo is wrong! (and me knowing it is more geek than the tatoo itself).

What is the triangle wrist one?

The triangle is the Triforce, from the ‘A Legend of Zelda’ games.

Incidentally, the tattoo is mine. Was a bit surprised to find a photo of my hands here!

Thanks for the Pic Jesper :) We only used pictures that were licensed via creative commons, and that’s one of the reasons yours appeared here :)

No worries - it’s not my photo anyway, someone else took it at a conference I attended :)

It’s probably too late to submit one now, but I felt compared to share my first tattoo which I think is also pretty geeky.

-Part 1

-Part 2

A few small details missing from the NES design, but I’m happy with it.
