Wow. Just, wow.

  • Semi-related but not nearly so elaborate: I ran across a livejournal community dedicated to Harry Potter tattoos (including a surprising number of Dark Marks) a while ago.
  • While on the topic of Geek/Nerd tattoos, my highschool Fantasty lit teacher is getting the One Ring inscription on her shoulder blades.
  • *grumbles that he never had a lit teacher worth having a highschool fantasy over*
  • I would do the lightsaber finger tattoo if I could get a friend to do it too so we could have battles.
  • the lightsaber finger tattoos are adorable but the full torso yoda scarification thing...DAMN!!!
  • I like Boba in the mouth of the Sarlacc, myself. But scarification? Is that what the kids are doing these days? I thought if you were the tough shit, you did branding... At least the wound is cauterized, and would reduce the risk of infection, but this? Am I an old fuddy-duddy when I say "Dude -- did you talk this over with your therapist?"
  • And am I wrong in thinking that dude got that off a Jack O'lantern stencil?
  • Oh dear. I said to ubergeek #2, "Look, I think that's the Sarlacc that Boba is sitting in," and he looked at me like I'm a bigger nerd than him, because he didn't know the name of it and I did.
  • Who over 30 doesn't know what the Sarlacc is?
  • #2, apparently.
  • *raises hand*
  • Also -- my mom.
  • um, I am definitely over 30 and I didn't know. /hangs insufficiently geeky head in shame
  • I've always thought of that as an anus dentatus... So, it's a Sarlacc, you say?
  • I'm not much of a tattoo person, but I was talking to a fella that does genetic research. He said, if it weren't for being a total wuss, he'd get a double helix tattooed from his neck to his butt crack. How cool would that be?!
  • I don't know what a Sarlacc is, though I'm exactly 30, so maybe that doesn't count. (can't remember if I was born two months after, or a month before Star Wars was in theatres, but I didn't go)
  • JB - you're off the hook. And happy 30th year! Now you just have to decide what to do with the rest of your life before you turn 31 ... I'm not yet brave 'nuff for a tattoo, but if I were, I sure as hell wouldn't get St Bobba Fett of the Holy Sarlacc..
