Jul 9 2008More Geek Tattoos That I Would Never Get

Here at Geekologie we've seen gaming tattoos, laser-etched tattoos, a dude with a Zune tattoo, and even eyeball tattoos. And here comes another installment of geeky ink. Apple, Google, Microsoft, Dell, they're all here, along with a few others. Make sure to hit the jump and check out my favorite, the Game Over tattoo. Also, I'll be posting pictures of my wicked Geekologie tattoo just as soon as I get it. Still waiting for the payday loan to clear.
Hit the jump for a bunch more and the link to a couple other smaller ones.

Thanks Julian, if the payday loan doesn't work out you wanna do the tattoo with a needle and ink pen?

I work for Apple, and a guy I work with got an 8 inch Apple logo tattooed on the side of his left calf. It looks cool and all, and I do love Apple but..... even us fellow Apple people think it's incredibly retarded.
You're basically a walking (free) advertisement and who knows what a company might turn out like in X # of years.

that giant bright DELL logo is pretty lame. The only thing dumber than this is getting ZUNE tattooed on yourself. Similarly though, both tattoos scream "hooray! I strive for mediocrity" . . . So i guess this guy and his wife/GF have something in common.

@4, precisely! Why in the world would anyone walk around advertising a multibillion dollar company? It's bad enough to wear T-shirts with company logos on them and not get a cent for it.
I won't even allow the car dealership to put a sticker or license plate frame on a new car....unless of course they want to pay me a fee every month.

@6: Word.

Is this like that time that guy got paid to get his forehead tatooed by a company for $X ? That is the only reason I can see that these useless dicks would have company logos tatooed on them. Oh wait, that's still not a good reason and they are still useless dicks.
The only funny thing if the 'iGoogle guy' put the word 'Myself' under it...
9. Quase - July 9, 2008 11:21 AM
Sniff... I tatooed "Sinclair" on my ass, and look what happened...
10. Adri Leya - July 9, 2008 11:37 AM
i have a tattoo of thick black glasses with tape over the bridge...that's not nerdy...is it?
11. rtyd6td - July 9, 2008 11:54 AM
ive got BIT TORRENT tattooed on my balls.
man it was so worth it.
12. whistle - July 9, 2008 11:54 AM
The only acceptable reason for getting a company logo tattoo is if you own the company or designed the logo (and made a fortune).
13. blp - July 9, 2008 11:55 AM
This has given me the idea to get a Linux penguin tattoo! How cool would that be.
14. Gabe - July 9, 2008 12:05 PM
How about mine? http://www.geocities.com/soho/lofts/6217/sunsun.jpg + http://www.geocities.com/soho/lofts/6217/intelintel.jpg

this isnt geek. this is idiotic corporate advertising. it is disgusting. these people should all be dead. we perturb natural selection so idiots like this are alive. the earth is doomed
16. Eddy - July 9, 2008 3:55 PM
There was a Zune one posted somewhere that made me really sad.
17. Tom Frost - July 9, 2008 4:54 PM
wtf who actually likes dell that much
18. RandomNigel - July 9, 2008 6:49 PM
the
one was ridiculous,
but still pretty awesome.
19. Cheatachu22 - July 9, 2008 8:30 PM
*sigh*
Mr. Windows Tatt, if you're going to get a retarded tattoo/nevergoingtohaveahumangirlfriend insurance, at least find somebody who can do a good job. My 10-yr old cousin could do a better job.
20. mizu - July 9, 2008 10:25 PM
FAIL.
What the hell. I would personally never want to advertise Windows. Or Apple. Or Intel. Or Dell; and for that matter, no other stupidly retarded, evil-as-hell multi-billion dollar company. That just screams, "I am a total idiot! :D"
And that's not geeky/nerdly.
I'd like to see a Tux tattoo. At least it's open source, and at least it's a freaking penguin to the people that don't know of Linux. -_-
21. theLordMangus - July 9, 2008 10:52 PM
fuck, who would ever get a goddamn microsoft tattoo?? or even moreso who would ever get a fucking dell tattoo?!!?! that is the dumbest fucking shit i have ever seen.
22. Joey - July 10, 2008 1:44 AM
@ 4, 6 - My thoughts exactly. I'm old enough to remember the days before every company advertized their products on your clothing for free and made you pay for it on top of it (except for those annoying alligator polos - those have always been around). When people first started buying into this I thought they were idiots. Then at some point the marketing machine actually succeeded in making logo wear the "cool" thing and you even got made fun of if you went around in "generic" clothes. Never, never underestimate the power of advertising on the human psyche. People can be manipulated into believing almost anything.
23. Monketron - July 10, 2008 9:25 AM
the only cool tattoo to get (thats a logo) is the something awful logo
www.somethingawful.com
and, to people that don't know what something awful is, they just see the tattoo as a granade.
24. Sportsdvl - July 10, 2008 10:37 AM
If you have a "Windows" tattoo does that mean you break down or stall every few hours?
25. Tizer - July 10, 2008 10:51 AM
@15
Yes they should be dead but the is quite geeky but i whould like it on a scarf.
26. Tizer - July 10, 2008 10:52 AM
@15
Yes they should be dead but the /head body is quite geeky but i whould like it on a scarf.
sorry the /head body thing was not there >.<
27. Jenn - July 10, 2008 11:14 AM
Wow. If ever I would get a tattoo of something like this it would be so small and so hidden but some of these are really big and visible. WHY?!?!?! I have to say though that the "Game Over" tattoo is kind of cute, but the location is awful.
28. JOWE - July 10, 2008 6:52 PM
Hey!!!!
Has ANYBODY ever heard of photoshop???
and if you think that apple tattoo is real, then you are retarded....seriously
29. an actually tattooed person - July 11, 2008 8:10 AM
@ #28: Based on the redness aruond the tattoo itself, I'd say that's real ink and not some lame shoop.
I'd check your own retardation before you start throwing names around.
30. stefugee - July 11, 2008 11:08 AM
corporate dumbassery aside, the head body tattoo is pretty sweet, imo
31. lori - July 12, 2008 2:07 AM
wtf i think some are photo shopped you guys so , dnt believe evrythng you see .
32. Defenestrator2.0 - July 14, 2008 7:33 PM
I liked the HTML tattoo. (The , one.)
33. Heather - July 15, 2008 12:03 AM
Uh... actually, I know the Apple on the wrist guy.
Real tattoo, y'alls. And he rocks it.
34. Ike - July 15, 2008 3:56 AM
Haha, I love how everyone keeps trying to type the html tags but they don't show up!!! I personally think these DO look a little fake actually, but the html one IS pretty sweet.
Also, there are actually courts that have begun to hear trademark infringement suits on tattoos like this. I assume it would be under a trademark dilution theory because I for one would never be confused into thinking this guy was made by Microsoft, I don't know about you.
35. Kristina Ann - July 18, 2008 7:17 PM
i have 'I "heart" science' tattooed on my foot.

37. notbob - July 19, 2008 1:28 PM
has anybody noticed that the guy with the Microsoft tattoo looks like the guy with the zune tattoo on his left arm.
After all zune tattooed on his left and Microsoft on his rightwould sort of make sense.
38. dan - July 20, 2008 2:28 PM

39. can't say - July 23, 2008 5:40 PM
to me i think its lame and waste of money to be showing a lot of different tattoos of people who love these products. they have no life what so ever at least spend the money on a tattoo which people would say dam that's hot then wow what a fucking loser.
40. Crystal - July 23, 2008 8:59 PM

52. me - August 22, 2008 5:27 PM
