Picture getting a tattoo 10 years ago with 286 chip and MS-DOS riding on top of it. That's how dumb your tattoo look in 10 years.

no way, that would be cool.. it'd be a classic.. and he coudl show it to all the young'ins who didnt know what a cpu was.

kind of like if my dad got a picture of a vinyl record tatooed on him. it would be cool :D

I got one about eleven years ago, it was cool then. Now, looking at it makes me go....hmmmm.

Nothing I can't live with, its still kinda cool, a timeless sort of tatt, but the novelty has definitely worn off.

whatever. i think i'd be cool.. and it would be something unique and different. i'm thinking about getting a tatoo-- as already stated. Although i'm trying to find something like a family shield or something that pertains to my heritage moreso.

Ugh. Don't do that.

Tattoos are a bad idea. If you get a fish put on now, in 10 years it'll be a fuzzy whale. And nobody wants to see that.

This is important. CPUs and operating sysytems change quickly (even the physical form of the cpu). Why not ask your date what she thinks? :)

Meredith thought it was a great idea... but I am going to make the decision... I don't want to be owned yet :p

Yup, For the last month I have been contemplating getting a tattoo... why? I have no idea. They are one of those things that I never understood why people get...

I was thinking of getting the following :

burning cpu + FreeBSD riding on top of it

location would probably be my left shoulder.

I would never get a tattoo of someones name, or some weird skull something or other. I want one that does symbolize me in some sort of fashion. Perhaps a musical tattoo would be more appropriate... or how about a nifty PERL script tattoo?

I like the idea... But a tatoo is a big decision. If it was me I don't think I would do it.

Yeah, that comming from the guy that wants the BobaFett Skull symbol on his geek shoulder... :D
