A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

A few more geeky tattoos

Following up on BME’s extensive coverage of geek tattoos, here’s a little geek loving for you by Aric at Viva Tattoo in Rochester:

“Bite me” tattoos aren’t that uncommon, but maybe this is the first “byte me” one I’ve seen… Hello? This is 1983 calling — I want my computer club t-shirt back! Thanks to Tim for sending this tattoo by Glenn Scott in Dayton, Ohio.

Or how about a computeriffic sacred heart?

This tattoo below (done at Last Rites) is on a whole group of people — the 1337 KR3W I suppose? I’m not sure if it’s tongue in cheek right now because part of me thinks that if you claim to be elite, you’re probably not. That said, I’m a dude with a ’74 Corvette with a license plate that reads L33T so don’t think I’m not in a glass house!

I like this haxor tattoo the best though because it doesn’t take itself too seriously:

That was done by Universoul Mutations in Cadillac, MI.

    i used to find the 1337 kr3w funny, seeing how many different ways it can be spelled, yet those who ARE elite, generally see labelling themselves as elite to be humourous and do it for a giggle, in much the same way as BME folk answer much like wednesday in the adams family “Lady we are the wierd people” 🙂

    I wanna see someone with an All Your Base tattoo heheh

    It will happen Steve, it will happen…

    Honestly, I LOVE geek tattoos; they go against the stereotypical idea of who/what should or would be tattooed.

    I’m waiting to see an MST3K silhouette tattoo!
