that looks awesome frankster! :D
Please note the artistic brilliance of my design, as well as the sheer skill required to meld this perfectly into the texture of the model's right shoulderblade. Flawless perfection.

Thank you, Balou!
This is obviously from Dude, Where's My Car? (2000). I did this a long time ago on another board. I thought the Edwardian Script worked though. Stan is a good model too.

There's someone on this forum who actually has that same tattoo in the same place, it's in her avatar, but I can't remember who.

Wait, what? I missed the "design" part of "design geek tattoo" and just went ahead with a plain GEEK tattoo! Shoot, do you think it will rub off? :eek:
