I was in the Gold Coast, QLD on the weekend, and I met a really nice nerd chick with amazing tattoos. I got to chatting to her about them and she was kind enough to let me take photos (she exclaimed, “Oh wow – you are a nerd – you have an iPhone” to which I just smiled…). She explained that she had plans for her entire back, but still had some money to earn first. They are all designed by herself.

First, the back of her neck:

You will notice a VGA out DB9 serial port, 2 x PS2 ports, 2 x USB, Network Activity lights (and two that I haven’t worked out yet… :( ).

Second tattoo:

A firewire port! So, maybe a fan of Apple? 

And finally, the main tattoo. This represents a circuit board and has binary worked into it. She made sure I understood that she had used 8-bit words when she left… it seemed really important to her.

For those of you who don’t want to work it out – here it is for you:

The binary is 01100001, 01101110, 01100111, 01100101 and 01101100, or in decimal  97, 110, 103, 101 and 108.

Or, quite simply, “angel”.

  1. nerd porn drawn onto human porn… it’s a clashing of cultures, I tells you…

  2. Haha it’s a little bizarre. I just thought I’d point out that it’s a DB9 serial port, not a video port.

  3. Goddamn it… I’ve been calling it a serial port all week… Yes, you are absolutely right…

  4. I think the horizontal lines are maybe supposed to be exhaust vents? Awesome tats.

  5. Yeah, I wondered if they were supposed to be exhaust vents too, but I’m not sure…

  6. So amazingly cool, in a nerdy way of course, but that’s why we’re all here, isn’t it? :)

  7. Now I want to know what is coming next down her back.

    as an aside, maybe we should rename Dice of doom a NERD PRIDE manifesto

  8. Hahaha the iPhone comment was a JOKE silly!

    How funny you made a blog of my tattoos, that’s kind of awesome!

    They are exhaust vents. Girl needs to breathe!

  9. Hi! I was wondering if you would find the post at some point. You seem to have a certain bent toward nerdiness so I imagined that you would. :)

    I’m glad you have settled the ventilation question…

    Have you added any more tats?

  10. It is very beautiful to see the tattoos in different places.

  11. hahaha, weird way to have a tattoo, maybe we can plug some flash disk in it, lol…

  12. Cool tattoos, maybe invest in a belt next time you take pictures so unnecessary buttcrack doesn’t show.

  13. i like the tats.. but i liked the crack too. RKG just doesn’t see the beauty in it.
