Gather ’round, everyone. It’s the middle of the week, and that means Inked Wednesday has arrived. While I enjoy drooling over beautiful tattoos, this round-up is all about celebrating fandom. I respect people who are so devoted to a franchise and its characters, quotes, and symbols that they decide to show their feelings in a permanent fashion. That sort of enthusiasm rocks and I think everyone featured in these weekly galleries is the bee’s knees.

Today’s geeky ink features Battlestar Galactica, Deadpool, Mass Effect, and more. Take a look:
