 Since a few of you seemed interested I thought I would go ahead and throw up a few pics here. There are more in my profile if you are interested. 

This is just the outline obviously, more to come in the next few months. If you guys like it I will post them as I go along.

It looks really cool, can you explain what it is/means. I'm interested in getting some kind of tattoo, not sure what yet.

that is circuits that run through a PCB like a computer motherboard. It spells out geek if you look at it long enough The artist said it reminds him of a computer virus with the hexagons around it. He called it The Geek Virus. I am proud to have it running all through me, haha. I do not look like the stereo typical geek so have been thinking for a few years about doing something like this to let my inner geek out for all the world to see!

Wow. I am a non-tatooed person, being of, ahem, a Certain Age, but if I ever make the leap, your artist is the one I will track down. This is really, really great--TOTALLY looks like a circuit board and visually beautiful. Very unique idea. Love it and would love to see how it progresses...

P.S. And, oh, yes, I just saw GEEK! Love it--was just telling my 21 y.o. daughter about the excitement I felt when the company I worked for in 1983 or 84 or so designed a 300 baud modem that fit into the half sized slot of the brand new IBM PC XT. Ground breaking at the time--and its circuit board was beautiful!

Age doesnt matter! My mom got a tattoo on her ankle when she was 50. You are gorgeous, go have some fun girl!

I cannot believe there are not more geeky PCB tattoos out there. From my understanding they are very difficult to do well so most artists I talked to did not even want to undertake it. The guy I chose is trying to make a name for himself so he went all out.I also think circuit boards are beautiful, is that so wrong! haha. I know a guy who actually builds the schematics for them for companies. they tell him the size/shape and what chips need to go on it and he designs these works of art where thousands of lines of circuit whirl around, never touching, never crossing. Absolutely art in my opinion. Now you truly know the depth of my geek

OK, that is awesome. Did you design it, or did your tattoo artist design it?

I pointed him in the right direction and he drew it up. I knew what I wanted but am not creative at all, complete analytical nerd lol He is only 25, very talented already! I am very happy with it, cant wait the few weeks for it to heal so I can schedule my next session.

(Really spell checker, analytical is a word and it is spelled properly. Can I get a spell checker for the spell checker over here.)

I *hate* spell checker, but rely on it totally! I'm an auditory person - some people have photographic vision, when I was a kid we said I have tape recorder hearing (still have it, just don't know what to call it now that there aren't tape recorders any more).

People tell me that misspelled words sometimes "look" wrong to them. Not sure how to spell it, but sure that isn't right. Not to me. Cannot spell my way out of a paper bag.

So analytical could be spelled with a z and a q and I'd never know it.
