The Geeks Shall Inherit The N64!
So, as this is my last post (for the Canadian evening), I thought as a change of pace I’d treat you all to some geek influenced tattoos, and a scarification.. Another few hundred Kilobytes of photos are after the break!
First up is Matt and his “thumb of power” scarification that leaves motorists bewildered as to why they stopped to pick him up! By Wayde Dunn, Infinite Body Piercing, Philadelphia.
Next on the gurney is this super-vibrant “medical” tattoo on IAM: medic (surprise, surprise) and is by DeeDee Seruga, Requiem Body Art, Spring Hill, Florida.
These are my personal favourites! Clickthrough for larger images..
The penultimate tattoo in this entry is by an unknown artist (who was apparently bipedal through the entire sitting!) from Tiki Tattoo in Mesa, Arizona.
And finally (hope you’re not too geeked out because the second batch is going up tomorrow night!), it’s this charming gamer tattoo by Matt Griffith (2 Dollar Pistol Tattoo, Chillicothe, Ohio).
I’m planning to make tomorrow a BMEBoys day, the unfortunate truth is that boys don’t seem to submit as many photos as the girls. Judging by the above though you can’t blame computer games for that!

Don’t forget to check your shoes before you go to work in the morning, kids. You never know what might be in there!
D to the M to the T.
You may remember IAM: madroota from such ModBlog posts as Awesome suspension themed hand tattoo and Empire Strikes Hack, well, he’s back with his next thrilling installment! (The text of which I stole from his IAM page, added links and edited slightly without asking).
DMT is a chemical that occurs in most plant life and traces are also found in the human body. It’s function is unknown within the human body, however the Shaman believe that at forty one weeks after conception the mother feeds pure DMT into her unborn child and this is the point where we obtain our “soul” and spirit. DMT can be extracted from certain varieties of plant such as Wattle and Acacia to become a yellowish-red crystal.
If smoked or snorted these crystals can be one of the most potent psychedelic hallucinogens around!
Many ancient tribes throughout history have used DMT for spiritual rituals and just good old recreational use. This being said I thought it would be good idea to let the infamous Wayde Dunn cut the DMT molecular structure into my torso. From under my armpit wrapping around to my belly. I have to say I am extremely happy with the outcome, and once again Wayde has proved that he is one of, if not the best cutter around! Although the over all design is relatively simple the numbers and letters seemed a little tricky due to their size but turned out perfectly! So thank you Wayde and thank you to who ever discovered the extraction process of DMT (Roo: Gonçalves de Lima).
That’s quite enough of that, back to the regular schedule!
Pew, Pew, Pew! Vroooooosh!
I challenge you not to love this Galaga tattoo by Pete of Fat Kid Tattoo, CA.
If you really really don’t like it, you can still use the comments forums to discuss how to spell the noise a laser/tractor beam makes..
