Geek Tattoos

[MrToby]

A quick search around on the forums here produced nothing so I thought I would start this thread.

Basically let's see all your geek tattoos from fossils to crazy lizards as well as computer games and circuit boards to the tree of life. Anything that could be counted as geeky/nerdy or anything in between. Unashamedly I am a bit of a geek about a few things. Anyone that knows me will tell you how excited I get about rocks and I think it's something to be celebrated. So I will start off by referencing my own ammonite tattoo that I have up in my gallery. Interesting and cool tattoos of any sort are always fun.

That's such a nice piece. Very unique.

I am pretty sure my tattoo counts as a geeky tattoo.

[MrToby]

Very cool there @passive jay

Here's a few other as well.

Firstly some planets by Tim Kern and Gerry Carnelly respectively and then a Hammerhead with the Tree of life by Jason Corbett.

I got Kratos from God of War... 1st tattoo, about a year old. Not good to photograph. Quality of the tattoo itself is also a bit "eh", but who cares, first ones are allowed to :P

[Boiled Dove]

So would a large TARDIS count as a geek tattoo?

[MrToby]

Absolutely! Doctor Who is cool.

I have 3 star wars tattoos and a mechanical owl . geeky enough ?

[OutOfIdeas]

I have a friend with at least 3 zelda tattoos, and plans to possible devote an entire arm to chronological peices from the zelda books

Has anyone else seen that Science Tattoos book? Tons of geeky tattoos in there, nearly all of them are bad though. Some are good ideas executed poorly, some are just straight up bad ideas.

I have a black and grey trilobite tattoo, I suppose that qualifies.

Heres a geeky Tattoo I got last year of Deku Link and the ominous moon from the game Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

I dig your Deku Scrub Ducky ^.

Awesome thread! Here are three tattoos I have done. One is a Charmander from Poke'mon, one a helmet from the Dark Souls videogame for PS3 and one is a Papou fruit from Kingdom Hearts. I actually look forward to doing more tattoos like these.

I think you are referring to Carl Zimmer's book from a couple of years ago. I was hoping for better tattoos in it too. Some were ok but I agree - most were not great.

Bow-ties are cool.

I am so happy there is a geek thread. :) I just got a tardis tattoo not long ago and I'm trying to decide what else to add to that arm. I'm not sure if I want a DW theme or just scifi. I'm a big Star Trek fan (original & TNG, not the reboot) so maybe the Enterprise? But then I would want to work in Firefly and Alien and my arm isn't that big. lol

Ships of sci-fi! Heh. I briefly thought of getting a space scene with the TARDIS, the Battlestar Galactica and Serenity it it...

I'm so tempted to get a Tardis! In the meantime while I ponder what style and where, I might just get a small 11 tattooed for Matt Smith on my wrist or ankle.

This totoro tattoo is beautiful:

Though I can't help but think of the LST mantra "needs more black"

Wow - a lot of her stuff is incredible. I have no idea how it will hold up over time as a tattoo, but they sure are nice to look at fresh and new.

I liked this Princess Mononoke tattoo by Melissa Baker. I've seen a lot of really illustrative Miyazaki tattoos that don't do much for me, so this is a little different.
