World's Geekiest Tattoos

Terrence O'Brien are you out of your mind??? I think most "geek tattoos" are so much HOTTER than the run-of-the-mill ink you see everywhere! They show that they had the balls to get a tattoo AND the brain cells to choose something thought provoking and ORIGINAL; unlike the idiots who can't come up with something more original than a skull, barbed-wire, some tribal or Asian symbol, or the lamest of all: their OWN NAME! That one always baffles me! Artwork that is permanently part of your body should deserve some creative fore-thought.

in my opinion, tattoos mark a time in one's life. so what if this guy wants to always be able to remember his WOW days? i don't believe there are any ridiculous or stupid tattoos because every one of them either have or have had significant meaning. as far as tribal and asian symbols go, i think you need to do a little research on the "originality" of those designs, because those designs are actually where tattoos originated. and name tattoos, there is nothing wrong with taking enough pride in your own name to get it permanently placed on your skin.

Proof that drugs do melt the brain.

Every tatoo has a story for that person. just because you don't get it doesn't mean it wasn't thought provoking for that person at that moment in life. I wanted a tattoo and gave it a year thought before I decided what I wanted and how I wanted it written. Mine is in egytian writing and stands for something but to know it you would have to either ask me or speak egyptian. I've gotten many positivie comments on it and no negative. It's ironic how people complain about someone elses life but I think it's because you don't have the guts to get one yourself. Who's the real geek here?

"Proof that drugs do melt the brain."

Hey Chaz....your comment regarding drugs melting the brain was actually unwarrented because if you actually read the meaning, you'd realize those two brothers actually had more brains than the average person to come up with binery codes for rock and roll. I think it's pretty interesting. Everyone's tattoo holds a story behind it.

now i will admit that getting computer keys tattooed is a lil... weird. but everything else in this article sounded kinda cool. if not a lil sexy. and granted not everyone will know that all those 1's and 0's actually mean something and that they will have to constantly explain....but it's up to the person what they get. i dont get why everyone assumes that all geeks have never had a gf/bf. there are a lot of attractive geeks out there. it's just that most attractive people try to hide their inner geek. dont judge people by their tattoos or their looks. you never know what the tattoos stand for and what lies beneath their mask....

Would Make a great LAMPSHADE!

How to test for intelligence: Offer a free tatoo. If they accept, file them under stupid.

That's my brother's arm! I'm the one with the guitar "Rock" binary tattoo!

I have to agree with lizzy that at LEAST it's more original that most crap people have. I'd rather be known to have a geeky tattoo than a tattoo everybody and their grandma has. Better than those out-dated tribal arm bands. See, Michael, in the 90s, lots of folks got that without knowing WHAT it meant, it was just "cool" and they THOUGHT it'd make them look worldy to have an Asian character-symbol that they didn't even know what it meant, and probably got wrong. Besides, a tattoo like the one above is a real conversation starter. :]
But in the end, all that matters is if YOU like it. It's YOUR body. Do with it what you like.

At least its more originial then a rose or taz devil or some other meaningless one

wow, so i got here cia a link from aol that was "guy has worlds worst tattoo." as a tattoo artist i, or course, was interested to see what it was. . . this is BY NO MEANS, the "worlds worst" it is both a well done tattoo and is something fun and probably meaningful to the person that has it, or is at the least somehting that was important to him at the time he got it.

i have to sympathize with whoever this is on, because i actually had something similar happe to me for a tattoo i had. a photo of it was taken off a site and posted on a blog for a paper that is across the country from me and i was called everything from brave to insane and told that i was stupid and would regret it. i dont in the least. its actually one of my favorite tattoos and i get compliments on it all the time.

people get what they like, and i would MUCH rather see someone get something like this that is fun and shows personality, than see them get the same big black work american "tribal" that they saw so-and-so from their favorite sports team/band had. generally, those are the ones that end up with regrets.

duh 20 sided die? it's an icosahedron. doesn't everyone know that?

it's an icosahedron duh

I haven't seen a 20 sided die in YEARS. . . . yes, I am a dork

If the writer of this article thinks this is the world's worst tattoo, he has obviously not seen many tattoos: not only is this one (and it's owner's brother's corresponding inkwork) very creative, it's craftsmanship is certainly better than the crappy Taz I got when I was 18...

What's so terrible about this tattoo? I LOVE IT! I think it is extremely creative and the fact that his brother has the other half makes it even better! Whoever wrote this article is just hatin!

I have four tattoos. Each one is symbolic to represent an important part of my life. Each of them have there own individual story. It is a way of expressing ones self. I see nothing wrong with this "geeky" tattoo.
