Revenge of the Tattooed Nerds

nintendo tattooShannon over on BME has pulled together a great collection of “geek” tattoos and commentary from the folks adorned with them.

One of the things I love about tattooing is that it attracts interesting people from all demographics. The simple truth is that some people feel a desire to permanently mark themselves with things that profoundly affect their lives. I don’t know if this is some genetic leftover that helped primitive humans hold their social fabric together, or whether it’s an unavoidable byproduct of being both narcissistic and sentient creatures. Either way, people get tattooed every day with the things that define their lives — and “nerds” and “geeks” are no different.

Before you know it, the Keebler may even have TUX! branded across his knuckles.

Thanks for the link Adam!
