‘Geek Porn’

I’ll admit, back when I was young and stupid and contemplating tattoos (about three days ago), I seriously considered the power symbol. Although it’s a bit overplayed these days, I thought it would demonstrate my inner geek and be a cute and clever conversation starter. (“This is how you turn me on.”)

But I didn’t imagine it taking up half my back, or surrounded by binary code. The best (worst?) part: The binary says “Geek Porn.” True story.

Think Different Before Entering a Tattoo Parlor

I know what you’re thinking, and you’re wrong: This is not the first tattoo on the “worst” list just because it’s an Apple tattoo. In fact, PC fangirl though I am, I’d much rather be walking around with an Apple image tattooed on my body than I would a Microsoft logo (like the infamous Zune guy). A little black apple might even be cute, and iconic enough that people would know exactly what my tattoo meant…which brings us to this lovely creation. Can we say overkill? The apple, well, fine. Even the power symbol in the middle, while a bit much, is acceptable. But “Think different” underneath? And to top it off, the fuzzy blue glow around that? This person could definitely take a leaf out of Apple’s advertising book: Understatement is key.
