Get a life

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a flat out nerdy tattoo, thankfully Darren Millar from Goodtimes Tattoo Belfast in Northern Ireland just sent in this badass 1-up mushroom, so the nerd-free streak is broken.

I see you have constructed a new lightsaber

Only this one is made of lego.
These incredible feet belong to none other than Krista. These Lego Star Wars tattoos aren’t the only nerdy tattoos she has, so hopefully she’ll continue to send in photos.

The Doktor is in
Written by
When it comes to comic book tattoos, the majority of them are created in the likeness of comic book characters. Portraits, logos, etc. It’s not too often we see someone get a tattoo that a comic book character has, which probably has to do with there not being too many tattooed comic book characters. Well, Warren Ellis isn’t one to stick to convention, and his Doktor Sleepless character sports a bright green grinder tattoo on his back. Now while Combatcow’s grinder isn’t green, it is a faithful recreation of Ivan Rodriguez’ artwork.
The optical illusion part of the tattoo is pretty awesome. Sit back and look around the picture. You should see the gears moving around on their own.

I must not fear
Written by
For those unfamiliar with the Bene Gesserit, or their litany against fear, that can only mean one thing; you’ve never had the chance to read Dune (or see one of the adaptations of Frank Herbert’s works). That’s alright, you still have time to go out and pick up a copy of the book. Now if you’re not so inclined to read the novel, you can at least appreciate the sentiment. The purpose of the litany is to calm themselves and to ease their mind when faced with fear. We all have some form of coping strategy when in a situation that instills fear or pain, be it meditation, anger, or running away as fast as possible. Regardless of how you deal with fear, the first step is acknowledging it. From there it is how your mind processes it that results in your behavior. The purpose of this particular quote, and why it is so important to fans of the series, is that it isn’t a litany that denies the existence of fear, rather one where you can take control of your fear, face it head on, and come out the other side stronger for having stood up to your fear.
I’m not sure who the artist of this piece is, but it was done at Kawbi Tattoo, in Salem, Oregon, and it is the latest addition to the lettering tattoo gallery.
