Marriages, fame, and fortune... everything comes and goes. That is, everything except a tattoo. Tattoos are permanently inked onto your body. So when someone gets a geeky tattoo, it just makes it all the more special.
The tattoos below are all masterpieces. They pay tribute to a mix of video games, movies, TV shows and even computer coding languages. Most of them are classics. You won't see any Howard The Duck, Hypercard, or Gobot tattoos. But even so, can these geeky tattoos still hold up over time? Will they have the same impact and recognition in 10-30 years from now? You decide.

Think Different
Apple's "Think Different" marketing slogan from 1997-2002 must have been a hit with women. In the photos above, the slogan is tattooed in large letters on a forearm and even "tramp stamped" on a lower back.
NERD
NOTE: The phrase "tramp stamp" is slang for the placement of a tattoo on the lower back. Tramp Stamps are usually just above the waist line.
