Geeky tattoos!

I love tattoos, am slowly becoming more and more covered...

I've seen some lovely Harry Potter tattoos online and IRL. But I've been looking at more "geeky" ink, star-trek, x-files, that kind of thing. though I'm not sure if I've got the stones to walk into my studio and ask my artist to give me a scifi tattoo

Does anyone have any 'geeky' tattoos? What do people think of them?

I came on here expecting to see tattoos like this. I'd have number 12, my colleague has a necklace similar to number 8. CountFosco now backs out of thread after realising I'm too geeky...

I have a Harry Potter quote on my wrist and am planning a hip piece using a quote from the Cursed Child. Might get a FBAWTFT one too (hence my current username)

I have an "art geek" tattoo on my wrist - Kasimir Malevich's "Red Square Village". People mostly just ask me "what are those two squares??"

Hi Phil. Not a Jane quote, although I was tempted. I ended up going for something short and was glad, because it hurt!

I have two large thigh pieces - about 5hrs for each! One is buffy, one is maya Angelou

I have a firefly tattoo on my ankle, a small serenity with the words 'still flying'
I love it :)

I like this one - but my sternum is probably too small for it to fit!

My sister has a galifreyan tattoo too, can't for the life of me remember what it says though. I have a feeling it's a quote from something else that she translated herself

Gizmo that's so cool! (I too love the little ewok!)

PhilODox I've had a look on Pinterest, that's where I first got the idea of having a sci-fi tattoo. My "ink" board has so many pins Grin

I've got loads already that all mean different things; strength, rebirth, peace, beauty, reflection, freedom, finding your way, the semi-colon tattoo, one for a relative, one for my child, and song lyrics. At some point I'll finish my sleeve...but keep finding ideas for other parts of my body!

There are loads on Pinterest, btw, you'll end up wanting to cover your entire body!
The LOTR quote "Not all those that wander are lost" are particularly beautifully interpreted. As Dinosaurs said, i wish i liked the books more Grin

My new geeky tat done 2 weeks ago, going to have others covered by Vader and Finn.
I am probably going through a midlife crisis but don't care and I love it.

Geeky tattoos!

Remus got a tattoo? Is it a Jane Austen quote? (Must be very long!)
Or "Always"?
How geeky? Star Wars or BSG?
