I enjoy learning about the artwork and stories behind people's tattoos. Although I have none, if I were to get one or more they would probably be of the geeky/nerdy variety. I'd probably go with some representation of the double helix (DNA), something that captures its strength and fallibility at the same time.
Here's a set of geeky tats. IMHO, I don't think scientific tats should be lumped in with gamer tats, but that's just nerdy me.
We've all heard of someone getting Chinese letters tattooed on themselves that they thought meant something like "unique" when they really translate to "strange." Hanzi Smatter is a site dedicated to the translation and mocking of Chinese lettering tattoos in Western culture. Dumb Americans really need to stop doing this.
