Nerd Ink

Zune Tattoo

No.

The “nerd tattoo” has officially begun to ground itself in our social culture. Now, a tattoo barer can be unfairly categorized and stereotyped as follows:

  • a grizzled, mustachioed Harley Davidson enthusiast,
  • a brave, freedom-defending armed serviceman,
  • an artsy, but slightly depressed liberal arts student
  • a drunk, whorish sorority chick, or
  • computer scientist with a tech blog.

The nerd tattoo is typically drastically different from all other brands, usually consisting of a mathematical equation or some reference to a popular video game in the 80’s. I’m tired of these.

Here are some tattoos I’d like to see at the next BiMonScifiCon.
