This may be one of my favorite “geek tattoos” yet, an Internet-themed sleeve by Jason Ostricher at Talisman Tattoo in Modesto, California. It’s got everything! A monitor with dB schema, RJ-45 cables, 1011011 binary, the Web, and of course every nerd’s fantasy, a sexy Catholic schoolgirl on a laptop with a dress a little too short…
You can find more pictures of Jesse’s tattoos at KingJes.com (click on Pictures then on Tattoos).
Now, personally I’d make the argument that a true friend opts to keep the stabbin’ to a minimum, but maybe I hang out with wimps? Here’s Natalie’s tattoo (photo taken the day after), done by Zach at Deep Roots in Seattle.
Hey! It’s Steve Zissou!

I always wonder if God exists, would he have a problem with tattoos like this one just started on IAM:poiison by Chris at Immortal Images in Wynnum, Qld. Australia. But, now that I think about it, if God exists, he is the dude that invented sex, right? So when Poiison wanders up to the pearly gates, St. Peter will call out to God to come and see, and in an immense thundering voice God will proclaim, “Angels, we’re instituting a new, minimalist dress code” as John “cover up those boobs” Ashcroft curses him from Hell as writhes in a lake of eternal fire.
I’ll post a few more over time, but care of John Durante (IAM:Jawn D) at Laughing Buddha in Seattle is this picture of an Iban Warrior, Rumah Entalau, Sarawak, Borneo… Check out his page if you’re interested in more great travel shots like this.
Apparently this customer of Rico Saldivar‘s is a big fan of Krylon paint. No offense intended to Krylon, but I hope the tattoo was done with regular tattoo ink…
A few days ago I posted a scar-begat-vagina tattoo. Let me make up for that by posting something that you’ll probably agree is slightly safer for the general public, a zipper tattoo around an open-chest surgery scar. This piece is by Jaysinn who tattos in South Florida. Visit his page for more of his work.
I suspect that by now nat_the_brat is very irritated by people telling her how much they love her robot tattoo, since in fact it’s an Inuit design. This was done for her by Kris Love at Love Ink in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada.
This tattoo is by Eric Rieth at Seventh Son Tattoo in San Francisco, CA. I’ve also got more photos of video game tattoos and other geeky-stuff (send in yours to BME please!).
PS. There’s a few misfilings in the geek tattoo section because I hadn’t properly explained it to Phil; those will be fixed soon.
