Tattoos are cool, but as a form of individual expression they have become pretty routine. These tattoos all have some wit and vagueness that makes them special, and their meaning will be lost on many people.
For example, 'Loreum ipsum' is the first two works of a long paragraph of Latin text that is used by graphic designers when they need filler text, the HTML tags in the image that follows refer to a form of coding used to design websites and the 'I <3 Helvetica' refers not only to a typeface, but also to the way a heart is typed out on a traditional keyboard.
