I truly believe that there is a geek secretly (or not so secretly) hidden away in all of us. The truly bold among us will go ahead and get something geeky tattooed on their skin, and these examples of permanent geekiness celebrate this. From chemistry class inks to Tetris tattoos, you will find your inner geek here--guaranteed.
Implications - Though nerds were seen as social outcasts for decades, the information age ushers in a new attitude towards geeks. Geeks are the same people who are responsible for the digital innovations that have changed the way people communicate; thus, geek chic has consumers seeking ways to wear their nerdiness like a badge.
