Tattoos are a way to visually express one’s individuality, and these nine nerds chose to announce their geekery by getting some rather unique designs inked on their bodies.
You might not care about pi past 3.14, but you’ll see the first 80 digits reproduced here. As with real estate, the tats are better if attention is paid to location, location, location. I like the digits wrapping around the arm, but the Ctl. Alt. Del. buttons are deformed when put on an ankle. Never deform an icon!
No doubt when Google Chrome--and its new logo--are released, it will also find a way into the world of nerdy tattoos.
