Perhaps My Next Tattoo

I only have two small tattoos and have wanted to get another one (or another one hundred) for a while now. I saw this one on DeviantArt.com and thought, “Wear your geek on the outside, for real!” As a modernized nod to the old-school “Man’s Ruin” tattoos, I submit the following geeky update:


Man’s Ruin: Geek Culture by ~spacecoyote on deviantART

Artist’s Comments

A modern satirical take on the famous “Man’s Ruin” tattoo design. The design has several interpretations, but it usually has a pin up girl, alcohol, playing cards and dice. Look it up on Google and you’ll see a bunch of examples.
This is the Man’s Ruin of today’s generation. Computers, geek gadgets, anime, gaming, caffeine. God help us all.

Comments welcome (read: encouraged).

    Very nice. Would make a great tat so long as you have someone who knows what they are doing. My dream would be to have my next one done by Kat Von D, but wishful thinking. I'd settle for someone who could design what I want though.

    Good luck!
  • I seriously doubt this will actually be my next tattoo, but it certainly speaks volumes about my "geekitude." I wouldn't mind getting something like it with a bit of tweaking to reflect my personal interests a bit more.

    It would be awesome to have a tattoo from Kat just to be able to say, "Kat did this one here..."
