Today’s winner of the nerdiest scar contest goes to this scar by John Joyce.
For those not “in the know”, Boba Fett was a Mandalorian warrior turned bounty hunter. I could be wrong about the translation but I believe the above reads “Adryanna”.
In brightest day, in blackest night,
No geeky scar will escape my sight.
Southtownbaby is one nerdy artist. She’s been piercing for a few years now, and has started getting into scarification work. This piece in particular was done on a friend, and from what I can see she’s doing a great job. So keep an eye on the scarification galleries for more of her work. And before you ask for a follow-up on this one, it’s already in the works. Hopefully we’ll see it either this week or next.
You will be assimilated.

It could possibly have something to do with this incredible scarification portrait of Princess Leia done by Chris Saint from Artifact Tattoo in Santa Clarita, CA.
I don’t recognize this particular portrait so it’s either an original take on Leia, or from some other media (comics, etc). In any case, it’s pretty clear who it is, and she is not happy.
Give up?
You should.
When I saw this cutting, I wanted to post it, but I assumed it was from an anime or something of that nature. Rather than risk upsetting some anime geek like Mason, I wanted to make sure of what it was I was posting, so I checked with the man who did this cutting. It’s not from any anime, it was drawn (and cut by) of one of our modblog regulars, Efix Roy and is based on no character in particular.
If you want a cutting done by Efix, he is based out Quebec at D-Markation Tattoo & Piercing.
On a scale of one to 10, this tattoo of the AutoCAD dimensioning toolbar is one hell of a nerdy (and awesome) tattoo. “As you can tell,” says the wearer, “I really love drafting.” We could tell.
(Tattoo by Derek Noble at Lucky Devil in Seattle, Washington.)

Hey, that’s a pretty good self-portrait, HEHNGHH? Oh wait, never mind, Tomasz fills us in:
The Shrike is designed by Artur Szolc, on the basis of excerpts from the book Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons. It’s not based on any other drawings of the creature, and it’s supposed to be as accurate as possible. The head is only the first part of the tattoo. The upper body of the Shrike will cover my whole arm, and Shrike’s four arms will encircle my arm and go all the way up to the shoulder and down the elbow. Its blades shall seem to pierce the skin. Possibly, a thorn-tree background will be added as well to complete a half-sleeve.
Thanks, Tomasz! A closer shot of the tattoo, after the jump.
It’s not a geeky relative of Axl Rose I’m afraid, but please do click through for a larger view of this pixellated cross-stitch rose tattoo by Brianna Kelley of Bright Side Tattoo in Copenhagen, Denmark..

Andy loves cycling and mathematics. So much so that he had this tattooed by Jase of Art ‘n’ Soul Tattoo in Devon, England, and by the looks of things he cycled home after the tattoo session. Now that’s dedication!
