Rob’s Comm Badge

Rob grew up with Star Trek and decided to get the simple, but iconic comm badge tattooed on his chest. He also has plans for his left arm that involve the other “Star” series, Star Wars, as well as hopes for a Firefly tattoo. I don’t think I’ve posted any Firefly tattoos on here yet, even though it’s an awesome series. Get on it Rob!

Ross’s Superhero Trifecta

Ross said he was going to get the entire Justice League on his arm before Dragon Con this year. While searching for the dates of Dragon Con, I wondered what could possibly be Ross’s motivation. Google Images tells me why Ross wanted to cover his arm in geeky tattoos: the hot geek girls.

Mispelled Tattoo

Love it! Todd from Cleveland, OH sent in his tattoo. He says it was partially inspired by the infamous (and strangely popular) “Chitonw” tattoo. What makes this even better is seeing the tattoo in the title of this blog post as I write it! How’s that for meta?

Pixelated Tree Tattoo Finished

Remember Kyle’s pixelated tree tattoo that I posted an in-progress photo of last month? Well, he sent me the above photo of the finished product. Looks even more awesome in full color! I know the pic is a bit blurry, but just think of it as anti-aliasing.

Blinky Tattoo

Did you know that the original title for Pac-Man was Puck-Man, but they changed it because they were worried people might change the P to an F. Some kid named Scott told me that. But Vinícius Krolow (@krolow) told me about his Blinky tattoo above. He says he played a lot of Pac-Man growing up in Brazil and now he’s a computer programmer. See mom, people that played video games all the time can amount to something! Can I have my Nintendo back now please?

Angular Momentum Tattoo

I’ve posted about xkcd tattoos before, but now there’s a new one to add to the collection! Rebecca went out and got the spinning girl from the Angular Momentum comic tattooed on her arm. Much like the comic, there was a lot of sentiment behind the ink:

I decided to get the spiining girl inked on my arm as the cartoon sums up mine and my boyfriend Tony’s relationship. We have been together now for over 3 and a half years. When we first started seeing each other Tony was serving in the Army and so I only saw him at the weekend. We began a long distance relationship while he was at base. Time passed and we moved in together but Tony was relocated and so still spent 5 days a week away from me. Tony left the Army 2 years ago and we are back in our hometown renovating a cottage together. However Tony’s job is over 200 miles away, too far to travel each day so he stays down there. It means we only see each other for 4 days out of every 8. We try hard to spend all that time together working on our house and just doing coupley things. The xkcd cartoon is how I feel on our last night before Tony has to leave. I do wish I could spin around to make time go slower! The tattoo reminds me that we make it work and to always cherish every moment together.

Tattoo was inked by Andy at The Tattoo Shack.

XBox 360 Logo Tattoo

Babs shared her XBox logo tattoo with us. It’s her first tattoo and she says she got it because she’s a huge XBox fangirl. I have to wonder if she makes the XBox bootup sound when she wakes up every morning.

Ink was done by Andy at 6th Order and came with a three year warranty against a RROD.

Kro Tennyson 2099

So I’ve been sitting on this email in the Geeky Tattoos inbox, wondering if I should post it or not. So what the hell, here you go. If you’re offended by language, you may not want to read the following, which is a copy and paste of the uncensored email I received with the above tattoos. I just can’t not share this with everyone:

Hello, my name is Kro Tennyson 2099, but you can feel free to refer to me as Kro Tennyson 2099 :) I am just your average, dimension traveler. I spend my spare time training to be a Plumber via my grandfather. No, not like an Italian we all know, more like a little boy in a camper. I have dropped the heaviest quarters this side of the Nullvoid just to show the kids at the arcade I am NOT fucking around. I have frenched Zelda, Chell, and Samus simultaneously just for a MySpace photo. I have even killed the Rocketeer. I rock a gold, LOZ N64. I only play cool games, and have never taken a kill shot. You can check that shit, I implore you. My friends and I usually pop handfuls of substance d, and trip for hours. One time my little brother came into the room, and we mistook him for *cough*yermom*cough* and opened fire with beebee guns, close range. Little Loomis didn’t see Christmas :( I enjoy flying kites. I split into four versions of myself and play paintball two on two. I always win though. Idiots. I took it upon myself to quit being a little bitch, quit my job, and open my own business. It’s called the Rage Cage. You can check that shit. I implore you. I am apart of the most hailed music troupe, ‘Clock Town Lights’, in all of Hyrule. You may have heard of me. My alias is Zombie Squares. I kick ass. But you already knew that. You can also check that shit. Wikipedia. Nigga. It was called Tim, Eric, and Kro Tennyson 2099 until I left. I have been on various late night talk shows, but usually stay away from them. I don’t like wearing make up. I am Link. Not Zelda. They were like, eeeexxxxxcccccuuuuuuusssseeeee mmmmmmmeeeeee ppppprrrrrriiiiinnnnccceeesssss!! They were are all lames. I smashed their pottery, and smoked their marijuana. I ate a lot of food that day. I went drunk flying in my X-Wing with Peter Parker one night, and he had this insane idea to barrel roll out, and let it crash into Corneria. It was hella tight. I have dated Kojima. So what? It’s a guy thing. That reminds me, I don’t eat meat. I was supposed to play Pierce Brosnan’s character in LawnMower Man, but I got x’d at the last minute due to me being too “trill ass of a nigga”. Their words, not mine. Ashton Kutcher tried to punk me, I shot him in the dick. And the balls. The dick and the balls. And everyone there. We don’t talk to this day. If he’s reading this, I hope all is well :/ I can say a wookee is attractive, but, I wouldn’t fuck one. Well… Naw. Hmmm…. Maybe? I don’t know, now that I think about it…. Would you? I mean let’s seriously think about this.. Yeah, she will be hairy like a guy, but, she won’t have a penis. Hmm… But, how would you tell a guy from a girl? Grabbing what’s down there? Now I think I want to fuck one.. Or at least go on a journey to Kashyyk and grab crotch with the locals. I am totally changing my answer. I would have analcourse with a wookee. SIKE. Next. My favorite color is apple. Now hold your tongue and repeat that shit wicky wicky waaaaaahhhhh? I was also a DJ. DJ Kro Tennyson 2099, The DJ. You know what you can do? CHECK THAT SHIT. I keep the master sword on my wall. Not too many baddies around my area. Means more time for the sexxing. And I uber like that. I use Soul Glo for my hair. It gives it that nice supple look. I introduced Eddy Murphy to Charlie Murphy. At one point in my life, I was born. I mostly stay crunk off that blue potion. Those witches know how to spin those cauldrons! I have been known to steal. If I have stolen something from you. I needed it. If I didn’t need it, I threw it away. Get better shit. GFG. All your base are belong to me. Anyway, I steal. I have it boiled down to a friggin’ science, yo! All I do is grab what I want, act like I couldn’t care less about it, or like I am looking for my mom, and run crazy circles around the cashier. He doesn’t even notice me leave once I do it oh, say, ten times. Only downfault is I get electrocuted if I show my sexy ass back in that bitch. Haters. I know every lyric to the Wild, Wild, West from Will Smith f/ Sisqo & Kool Mo Dee. I FUCKING BET MY BOTTOM DOLLAR AND IMPLORE YOU TO CHECK THAT SHIT. I assumed Snakes identity like three games ago, hello, get with the program. I like the idea of Coca Cola more than actual product. I wear my blue tunic when not swimming. It confuses people. I wear a size fivteen pegasus boot, ladies ;) I am better than MeesoHorny at MGO. You can what? CHECK THAT SHIT. Did I mention I love Jim West? Desperado? Ruff Ryder? No? You don’t want nada? I was supposed to star as Jim West but they felt they had to pick Will Smith because Jim West is white. Makes sense I guess. But Cedric the Entertainer was in the Honeymooners! I KNOW RIGHT?! Hollywood.. Psshh. Niggas was all pussy. They black listed me because I was black. Was. I type three kajillion words a minute and can lift ten pounds over my head. But you don’t see me bragging about it all over your faceOOOHHH frittata. Motley Crue “borrowed” some of my lyrics. It’s cool. I’ll see you niggas around. I roll with Mr. Kro in his lowrider just you know.. kickin’ it. You know like, in the projects, where girls are in bikinis, and dudes can you know, just rap. Why the fuck would I want to live in Iowa for? Shit is stupid. I love the sexxin’. CHECK THAT SHIT. My day job is playing smear the queer with my little brother. My nighttime job is playing smear the dyke with my little brother. I hate that little fucker. I show him my dick on Skype. On a lighter side, did you hear about Linda from down the block? Mmmmmhmmmm girlfriend. She was all up and down the hallway with Pernell, Mhmmm, I could smell her KFC Double Down pussy on his breathe. If I was you, I would do something about that trick. I’m just saying. So, I pop birthday balloons with a slingshot. Unless it’s my birthday. First kid that does that gets a slug in his face. And his parents. And everyone including the ICP clown boysy boys and newsies with uzis naw no nudy with rudy. I don’t get naked with that kid. All because I can’t have witnesses. Why’d they go and fuck with my balloons in the first place. I need a new tattoo. I punched a guy so hard in the throat once, he swallowed his adams apple and sucked in his own wang and I got jumped by three guys who thought I was beating up a girl. Did you know you can cut somebodies body off? Just hold the dick, and slice. Billy Loomis answers cellular telephones no more. CHECK IT. I saw Bobby Dukes wipe. His ass with Lenny’s face >:D I hate Guitar Hero. Only because I shredded so hard they named a video game after me and didn’t pay me my shit. THE FUCK! WHERES MY RUPEES?! Click Clack Paddy Wack I got a nine for that ass. I am always zen. CHECK THAT FUCKING SHIT. I am very cute, japanese girls especially like me. If you like me, we should probably be sexxin’. Unless you are a guy wookee, in that case, Nikita missile to the noggin 8) *gleam across glasses* I came across your awesome site, and knew it wouldn’t be cool until I joined. No need to thank me. It’s what a hero does. So, I took the time out of my uber busy schedule of smashing pottery to grace you with my sexy, inky, self. Peep yo.

-Titor2036

Red Hat Tattoos

Not only did Thomas submit his geeky tattoos from an email address ending in @redhat.com, he also PGP signed the message he sent. All huge indicators of a true Linux geek. Thomas explains that geekiness and his tattoos done by Jon Weaver:

These tattoos are related but were done at different times. I got the Shadow Man in Orlando at some hole-in-the-wall place that I really wouldn’t recommend and won’t even name. Jon had to re-do it later to clean up some patchiness.

I’m a Linux geek through and through – I live for Open Source and am proud and humbled to be part of Red Hat. To me, it’s all about making technology available to people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to get it – – leveling the playing field across nations, economic strata, societies. We make amazing software and we give it away through our Fedora Linux distribution. We also sell service and support for it with our commercial Linux distribution, Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Anyway, I was at the annual team meeting and there were over a hundred other Red Hat folks there. I’ve always been passionate about what we do and at the conference I wanted to get some new ink that paid homage to that passion. I got the Shadow Man tattoo and it made a big splash at the meeting. My boss’s boss actually liked it so much she let me expense it!

I had Jon do the armband several months later. I wanted more ink, and I wanted to emphasize my passion for technology. I wanted an armband, but I wanted it to be different from the tribal/Celtic/barbed wire stuff you see all the time. So I designed the printed circuit band and Jon inked it in one sitting. I am very happy with the fine detail and the straight lines.

And then Thomas signed off his email with more acronyms than I know what to do with:
Thomas Cameron, RHCA, RHCDS, RHCVA, RHCX, CNE, MCSE, MCT
(Man, if only Words With Friends would let me play those)

Oh wait, there was one more email from Thomas too! He got the Fedora logo done inside a tribal design on his back by Chad at Taylor Street Tattoos in Chicago. The design was done by Máirín Duffy, another Red Hat person, using what else but the Open Source software Inkscape.

Turn3r’s Geeky Tattoo Collection

Turn3r sent in his collection of geeky adornments, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Iron Man, Watchmen, and Full Metal Alchemist. Lil Mike at the appropriately named “Lil Mike’s” in San Antonio inked the Turtles sleeve. The other three were all done by Anthony over at 808 Tattoo in Kaneohe, HI. Turn3r explained that his reason for these tattoos was simple: “I just like getting inked out, and I like getting ink done of things that I like.” Good enough for us!
