Some of these are way better than most tatoos.

I knew a girl once who had "mild" tatood on one boob and "bitter" on the other (two sorts of beer for non-UK persons).
She had an eye on each buttock, and on the inside of her lip she had "**** off!" - so if she got chatted up and wasn't interested, she'd just raise an eyebrow and pull down her lower lip.

I knew a guy once who had two naked chicks tattooed on each of his thighs so he could have a threesome everytime he whacked off. Sick bastard...

Well, at least it's not in Japanese (though the Japanese have been known to do the same thing as well, except with random English letters).But still, I have the sudden urge to start giving Bill Gates an atomic wedgie.

I would get a tatoo of Stephen Hawking on my bicep, but I am such a namby-pamby when it comes to needles, blood, and pain!

Really? What do english letters look like? I don't think I've heard of them before, unless you're referring to some type that Caxton or one of the other early printers used, but I think they mostly got them from the continent.

All of these are beautifully done... So what's the problem?

Tattoos are meant to define you as a person. To help people know something about you before they ever even have to speak. This tattoos mean something to these people...

I agree. I think most of those tattoos are awesome.

Yes, these all have character. I echo the prior posts. Nothing is lamer that a tired out "thorn ring" around the bicept or a bullet band on the ankle. Yet noone I've ever seen has a Black-Sholes equation tatooed on them ... :idea:

Except honestly, the quadratic equation is not gonna help you very often in a math test... and you should know it anyway.

Well, I think this was proved as fake, but here's the story.

I've actually looked through that photoset before trying to get ideas. I didn't see anything that really fits me, so I'm going to be going for something original...

Don't hate on geek tattoos!
