Gimpie-Modo‘s neck glows when he’s turned on under a blacklight… This UV ink tattoo was done by Jo at Spunky Monkeys in Newport Pagnell, UK. By the way, Josh (who you know from the eyeball tattooing) is considering trying UV in his eyes!

Geeky Head Tattoos
These were done by Karlis at Mantis Tattoo in Pennsylvania — an embellished yin-yang, “einst(ue)rzen” in binary, and salvinorin a (and before any of you chemists and or drug addicts complain, a note from the wearer — “two methane groups were left out by mistake, but the shop has free touch-ups!”).
Animated Yoda Tattoo
Well, the tattoo isn’t animated but it’s Yoda from the animated Star Wars series (“which rocks by the way”) — done by Tattoo Make in Hämeenlinna, Finland: Do or do not, there is no try.
Real gamers do it on the table
…none of this new-fangled online “gaming”!!! Ciepher has a Warhammer 40k tattoo, specifically, the emblem of the assassins. The tattoo was done at Camberley Tattoo Studio in (duh) Camberley.
“Takedown This!”
[see also: on ModBlog or on Digg if you don’t get the context]
So… how do you DMCA a tattoo off of a person? Am I allowed to tell people that it’s a “09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0 tattoo”? Is a magazine permitted to print photos of this tattoo? Can the tattoo artist or shop (Good Faith Tattoos, Boston) be sued? Can the person wearing the tattoo be sued? Can a corporation force a medical procedure (a tattoo removal)? Can they force him to always wear a shirt? Well, Rich from The New Freedom has decided to be the bait!
Edit: I’ve been told to submit this to Digg, but because (continuing in the “Digg loves censorship” meme) Digg has banned its users from linking to ModBlog because they find the content offensive, so it’s not gonna happen.
Gangsta Script “Click”
If you’re wondering exactly what the tattoo (by Spider at House of Ink in Venice Beach, CA) means, the computer-enslaved wearer explains, “it’s my clicking hand.”
Zelda Knuckles
Jonn got these Legend of Zelda geek knuckles done on vacataion while in Vancouver by Sasha at Electro Ladylux.
Boltzmann Equation Stomach Rocker
I think that capo3433‘s Boltzmann equation tattoo is the geekiest tattoo I’ve posted in quite a long time (I’m assuming he understands it, but he says he’s not very good at math!). It’s done by Kimsu at Body Graphics in NJ. If you’re wondering, s = k log w is a measure of entropy in this case.
Nintendo Fanboy Sleeve
I think this may be the nicest videogame-themed tattoos I’ve seen (and it’s not even finished yet). It’s on theprophetelijah, done by Andrea Ottlewski at Slave to the Needle in Seattle, Washington.
