Get Custom Temporary Tats With Inkjet Tattoo Paper!

GeekSugar — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 14:00:36 -0700

Here's a reason to keep a home printer around! Inkjet Tattoo Paper lets you design custom temporary tattoos, which is great when those 50-cent jobs from the gumball machine won't cut it. Think of how great these would be for theme parties and costumes (these are way better than just whipping out a Sharpie for that Jeffrey Sebelia neck tattoo or your Kat Von D impression).

You only need soap and water to remove these, unlike regular temp tats - which I'll gamely sport for a pirate party, but come Monday, I don't want a speckled mess of colors encircling my arm at work. I don't know what kind of theme party this necessitates, but I would so print out and slap on an Apple tattoo or a Gameboy tramp stamp!

Geek Temporary Tattoos: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 07:00:59 -0700

Geek tattoos are a phenomenon I will always enjoy and never understand. There are literally hundreds of them with more and more popping up on the web everyday. Whether it's an Apple logo tat or the Windows 98 Bluescreen Of Death, I can't imagine permanently marking my body with a gadget or symbol that will probably be as antiquated as the TI 99/4A when I'm 80. I asked you readers what you thought of geeky tattoos a few months back and a startling 65 percent of you said you love them so there's no telling what you guys will think of these temporary geeky tats, $7.99. I can only relent to say they might be fun for Macworld or Maker Faire, but you couldn't pay me $100,000 to go the distance with real ink.

Would You Ever Get A Gamer Tattoo?

Did you have an "OMG!!!" reaction when you first saw this picture? Yeah, me too. It's not that I'm opposed to tattoos or Gameboys, it's just that the combo of the two kinda scare me, especially when I see a stomach covered with a cheat code (hmmm) and a gaming device. Surprisingly, when I asked geeksugar readers if they would want to love or leave Geeky tattoos, a staggering fifty-six percent of you said you loved them, which leads me to believe that you may be open to getting a gamer tattoo as well. Maybe not like this one from tecnochica, but something smaller and more... shall I say 'tasteful'?

Anyone who would have the guts to brand themselves with their fave computer company's logo or HTML code baffles me. Here are just a few of the many examples where this is the case. For a closer look check out William H. Macy's rainbow colored Apple tatoo and the infamous lower back Apple tattoo. What are your thoughts? Do you think this is taking your tech love to a ridiculous new level?

The biker comedy Wild Hogs made a smash hit debut this past weekend, rolling in $39.7 million and moving it into the top spot at the box office. The film stars John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, William H. Macy and Tim Allen as biker buddies who decide to pack it up and take a big road trip together. This pic is from the beginning of the movie when they are talking about their trip and decide to destroy their cell phones so they have zero responsibilities. The 40-year-old virgin computer geek Dudley Frank arrives, played by William H. Macy, to show off his new tattoo. read more

Here's what the hilarious Dudley had to say about it:
Dudley- “I’m a biker, dude! I got a tat!”
Doug- “It’s an Apple…”
Dudley- “I know. Trademarked. But what are they gonna say? It’s in my skin b**ch!”

Darth Vader Tattoo Design T-Shirt: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 13:02:28 -0800

Marc Ecko is really establishing himself as the mainstream go-to for Star Wars apparel, after having introduced the Boba Fett Hoodie and Storm Trooper Hoodie.

And he's not content to stop there. There's a whole SW shop up - with one of my favorite new pieces being this Darth Vader T-Shirt with a tattoo-inspired design ($34). It's sort of Ed Hardy meets Star Wars, and the intersection is so fun and kitschy, I think I might be into it.

It's definitely a way I've never seen Luke's father - but is that a good or bad thing?

Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? Apple Tattoo

GeekSugar — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 12:21:32 -0800

Are you a die-hard Apple fan? Would you take your obsession to the next level and tattoo the company's logo on your body? Luckily Engadget further explained that this tattoo was created from revolutionary temporary ink that falls apart when exposed to laser energy, after which the body's natural ability to expel foreign particles kicks in and does the rest. What do you think? Temporary or not, would you walk around branded with the Apple symbol? I guess, if I'm being honest I'll admit I might.
