It’s understandable that some of you are hesitant to get something as permanent as a tattoo. Especially with a fad site like Twitter. Who knows how long the novelty will last? A massive “follow me” tattoo isn’t for everyone.

These “Follow Me” Tattoo Socks give you that temporary ink look, just in case you’re not ready to take the leap into permanence. If you love showing off a little leg, this is a great way to gain some new follwers, and perhaps a stalker to two.

There’s been a Don Ed Hardy explosion recently. I’ve even seen Hardy rip-off shoes at my local discount designer stores. If you’ve already got Ed Hardy’s name plastered across your body and you’re really digging that new school ink style, Ed Hardy is busting out a collection of USB drives branding the style you’ve learned to love.

The drives will be available in 1 GB to 4 GB flavors. They’re available for pre-order for between $32 and $78 on Amazon and will likely ship in the coming weeks, probably a month or three at the most.

The bottom of your feet are ultra-ticklish for a reason. They are very, very sensitive. So, I imagine this tattoo hurt a considerable amount. The soles of your feet have got to be a tender area.

Regardless, this gaming geek was hardcore enough to have Mario and Luigi partaking in a round of fisticuffs, tattoo-style, on the bottom of their feet, one gaming icon per foot. I’m only slightly concerned that Mario will develop athlete’s foot on his face. Of course, this isn’t as cool as my Jedi Mario tattoo, but it was a valiant effort.

We’ve seen some truly unique body mods and tattooing. Everything from watch and glasses implants to tattoos showing off our favorite obsessions. These Braille Tattoos don’t disappoint.

Implanted under the skin are braille-shaped spheres which allow the blind braille reader to read the words of your tat. I have no idea what the pictured braille tattoo says, but I’d love to know. Any of you know braille or feel like decoding the message?

We thought that the wristwatch piercing was pretty damn intense, but anything implanted completely under your skin has got to win in the extreme category. The Subdermal Implant Watch Tattoo, also called an “electric tattoo” is a special LED screen which is implanted under your skin.

Powered by your own kinetic energy, the electric tattoo watch illuminates when you turn your wrist towards your face. And since it’s powered by your own body movements, no batteries are necessary.

How important is Independence Day, you ask? Well, it’s the one day of the year where this guy’s priorities are slightly altered. Okay, okay, and George Lucas’s birthday makes two. So shoot the guy, why don’t you.

Have a great holiday weekend and drive safe, fellow GEARheads.

Reader Marianne sent us this photo of her fabulously geeky ecology tattoo. Inked across Marianne’s back is the chemical equation for photosynthesis. Hope you’ve all been eating your veggies.

Photosynthesis is underrated. Way to spread the word!

Got a geeky tat you want to share with us? E-mail me at andrew -@- gearfuse.com for your chance to appear on Gearfuse.

It’s still burning like a mother, but it’s so worth it. What could be better than Mario and the Jedi mashed together?  It’s like, my childhood in one awesomely sexy package.

What sort of geeky tats have you been looking into?

Ugh, this is making me sick. I just ate lunch.

Body modding is no longer the social taboo it once was. In fact, it seems body mods, at least on the less extreme side of the spectrum, such as nose and tongue piercings, are all together trendy. But what about combining piercings and tattoos to create one overall body mod art piece? Your body is your canvas, indeed.

This awesome body mod was accomplished using metal pieces which attach to the skin via piercings. The tribal style ink underneath adds a shadowy outline. The end result? An awesomely extreme body mod. It might not be suspension, but it’s a nice go between until your ready for the next step.
