Nathan’s funny tattoo is by Matt at Evolved Body Art in Columbus, Ohio… Guess we know he doesn’t use DVORAK!

  1. This defenatly need to be a QWERTY keyboard!

  2. shouldn’t it be the other way?

  3. nevermind. i got it as i was typing. way more clever then i obviously am…

  4. he go H & G on his thumbs too?

  5. MMD, on the basic QWERTY keyboard fingering style, the thumbs would normally just hit the space bar. This is very clever. I like it.

  6. yaaa go matt!

  7. aren’t they letters backwards? i mean anyone looking with see them the right way, but to nathan they will be upside down.

  8. I don’t think he’s using them for actual reference, jacky.

  9. Well, the thing is that Nathan knows what he got tattooed on his hands….other people don’t lol. :) I like this, it’s original.

  10. yeah upside down would be more useful…

  11. Paha. Awesome. x]

  12. Yeha I read it backwards at first too, but its meant to be where your fingers sit on the keyboard. Left index on the J, little finger on the ; etc. I like it, made me think.

  13. Sorry, right index on the J even…

  14. Hey! That’s me!!! Thanks for the nod–and thanks Smail for cueing me in to it.

    Actually, on my thumbs I have dots which, those of you who write with invisible characters turned on will get.

  15. love it

  16. Evolved in Columbus, THAT’S what’s up :D

  17. Clearly, he doesn’t have to suffer through these screwy AZERTY keyboards here in France. :P

  18. I didn’t understand at first, I only use max. 4 fingers when writing :P.
    I hate it when I have to write with an odd/differently arrenged keyboard.

  19. @ MMD - in correct qwerty posture your thumbs always stay placed on the space bar technically….

  20. also, I don’t think the intent of this is to be particularly “useful”. It’s not as if it’s difficult to remember…

  21. Dammmmn I love Evolved, those bitches are hot

  22. Fuck yeah Home Row Keys! He should be a computer teacher. And he should put spacebar on his thumbs somehow.

  23. amazing

  24. i was waiting for something like that.

  25. he has dots on his thumbs! That’s gold!!

  26. ugh I’m teaching myself DVORAK and it’s a very slow process.

    I love the tattoo, though. Very fun and silly.

  27. i like it better then the “ta2z” knuckles.

  28. That is seriously one of the best tattoos I’ve seen! I love it!

  29. what the heck does it say? lol i can’t figure it out

  30. lol… hey dsruptd, it’s the home row on the keyboard (i’m a writer!)

    asdf jkl;

  31. I love using invisible characters!

  32. LOL I was JUST THINKING “i guess he doesn’t use DVORAK”,I guess thats kuz i do, lol awesome though; fantastic idea in the opinion of a computer science major.

  33. this is awesome!
    very clever!

    haha.

  34. Whenever people ask me what it says, I tell them it’s Spanish for marijuana.
