1. Shoulder to Shoulder Math Equations
Anyone who claims tattoos are for idiots should take up their issues with Joe, a molecular biophysicist/biochemist.
While there are plenty of math tattoos out there, this one is special
thanks to the sheer quantity of space given up in prime tattoo real
estate. In case you were wondering, the first line is the Born
Oppenheimer Approximation, the second is the same equation in the form
of a 3-Dimensional Schrödinger Equation, and the final line is the
solution in the form of a Schrödinger Equation.
2. Blue Screen of Death
Yes, this particular blue screen text, from a Windows 98 OS, may already be outdated, but Paul, the tattooee, wanted to reflect how fleeting technology can be in our modern lives. And with that in mind, the tattoo is perfect.
3. Pandora’s Viruses
It’s not just that this tattoo
incorporates Greek mythology or pathogens, it’s that it has managed to
seamlessly blend the two in such an utterly perfect manner. In case you
were wondering who would get a tattoo covered in viruses, the bearer is
an immunologist.
4. Cthulhu Monopoly
It’s
one thing to get a tattoo of your favorite board game or even your
favorite Lovecraftian monster, but when you combine the two into an utterly adorable mash up, that’s when you deserve a place on a geeky tattoos list.
5. Hitchhiker’s Guide: Don’t Panic
There are plenty of Hitchhiker’s Guide tattoos, but I have yet to see one as perfectly humorous and complexly obscure to those who haven’t read the series.
6. Horseshoe Crab Biology Diagram
While any biology diagram tattoo would be pretty dorky, Lauren, a biology grad student,
managed to secure her place on this list with an equally geeky
explanation for choosing the subject: “Perhaps the most magnificent
living fossil of all, the horseshoe crab is the survivor of a lineage
that extends back some 445 million years into the Ordovician.”
7. Cyborg Lincoln
What
could be geekier than showing your love for one of America’s greatest
historical figures with a tattoo? Mixing that image with a touch of
science fiction by making him a cyborg to create your own Abeborgham creation.
8. 8″ Ruler
Not many tattoos are as functional as this 8” ruler on Flickr user Mikeysklar.
Of course, if he added a metric measurement to the ruler, it would not
only double his measuring efficiency, but it would also provide him with
a rather useful metric to English conversion table in the process.
9. QR Code
Barcodes
are so 2001. These days, it’s all about QR codes, and unsurprisingly,
tattoos are following in the same direction. This particular code, as
seen on Jully Nascimento of Brazil, reads “hold on” when scanned, a reference to a Good Charlotte song that was particularly meaningful to the wearer’s youth.
10. Hello Kitty Meets Boba Fett
It
was actually hard to find a Star Wars tattoo that deserved to make this
list—there are so many out there, they’ve neutralized the geek level of
each individual piece. Fortunately, when you combine a classic Star
Wars icon with the queen of cartoon kitties, you certainly cross the
line into ultimate geekdom.
11. Ctrl Alt Delete
This computer scientist
believes it’s always important to remember that when things are screwed
up beyond repair, you should always try rebooting. I think that’s a
lesson many of us can identify with.
