Title: Geek Tattoos Post by John_Gaughan on Sep 22nd, 2004, 7:27pm My wife and I are thinking about getting a tattoo or two. Since I have to live with this for the rest of my life I figure I should get something I like. Being a computer/math geek I figure that is a good place to start thinking. So, what do you guys recommend for a geek tattoo? Keep in mind I am a man, so no flowers ;) |

Title: Re: Geek Tattoos Post by Hooie on Sep 22nd, 2004, 9:08pm :) I've thought of getting a nerd tattoo when I'm older. Something to do with maybe math or physics. I don't have any suggestions, however. It'll be interesting to see what others say. |

Title: Re: Geek Tattoos Post by towr on Sep 22nd, 2004, 11:37pm There's always [pi], or [infty] Or you could use emoticons :) ;) -_- O_o Or (pseudo)html <tattoo src=pi.gif /> Some binary message, 0011010000110010 |

Title: Re: Geek Tattoos Post by John_Gaughan on Sep 23rd, 2004, 5:57am I saw a few like that at bmezine.com (not linked on purpose, this is a family site ;) ) and was not too impressed. Pi symbols, emoticons, etc. I did think the binary would be neat, some of the ones there had peoples' names encoded in ASCII, written in binary. I was thinking some graphs or diagrams would be cool too. Fractals are always good, but probably too complex for most tattoo artists and would be very expensive. The one that came to mind first is the BSD daemon. He looks somewhat evil, but really is a nice guy once you get to know him :) |

Title: Re: Geek Tattoos Post by towr on Sep 23rd, 2004, 7:51am You could maybe take a listing of obfuscated C-code that does something neat.. |

Title: Re: Geek Tattoos Post by william wu on Sep 23rd, 2004, 2:38pm BSD Daemon would be pretty cool. Maybe some clever regex, like /(bb|[^b]{2})/ Or a Geek Code Block (http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-18573.html) |

Title: Re: Geek Tattoos Post by Noke Lieu on Sep 23rd, 2004, 5:31pm John, tatoos are much like being granted a wish by an evil djinn. Cos you have to live with them forever (they do make you immortal, don't they?), people coming and asking you what it means... pac man chasing ghosts? |

Title: Re: Geek Tattoos Post by John_Gaughan on Sep 24th, 2004, 6:21am I like that idea, Pac Man. I've seen a few video game character tattoos, but all newer ones from games that people play once and forget. Pac Man lives forever :-) Geek code is a good idea, except it changes over time. Anyway, I find that most things that sound cool aren't once I see or imagine them as an actual tattoo. That is why I am spending a bit of time thinking about it. I could always turn one of the green player sprites from the original Doom into a tattoo... |
