The middle of the week is here, and we all need a break. Looking at geeky tattoos is a good a break as any, and luckily for you, I’ve put together a gallery of artful ink. This is only the third installment of Inked Wednesday, but I’m already impresssed by the variety of tattoo pics I’m receiving from readers. I’ve seen quotes, art right from comic books, mash-ups, full Star Wars sleeves, and as you’ll see in today’s round-up, even a Nerdist symbol tattoo. I hope someone gave that guy a certificate for a lifetime supply of burritos.*
*Note: I do not have the power to grant a lifetime supply of burritos.

Have geeky ink of your own? Post links to the photos in the comments or send ’em to me over at Twitter.
Working on this for a year now. A video game sleeve that i desperately need to finish.

I chose to get the science officer badge (new Trek version) as my first tattoo– a gift to myself in my first year of my PhD program. I’m very pleased with the way it turned out! https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/1239053_10200604947742012_681628518_n.jpg?oh=45093b72f3cf55365af2d5befd4d7387&oe=54847BCE&__gda__=1418260886_eae4a329b6f8c949c8e8a6fcbf3a29ff

The name is spelled Joe Kennett.
And the rest of my tattoos are in here… but not all of them are nerdy. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152251743437249.1073741839.772147248&type=3

I have several nerdy tattoos from Scifi and Anime. Stargate SG1, MLP, Doctor WHO, Battlestar Galactica, Utena, Neon Genesis, and Sailor Moon. I wear them pretty openly but I also work conventions as a vendor so it’s actually good for business.

Wow, love this new batch. Obscure Serenity tattoo. Terrific.
That Star Wars sleeve is fabulous! All my tats except the newest are here: http://www.nerdist.com/2014/09/inked-wednesday-3/ Most are sci fi. The in progress tat has the Enterprise, Babylon 5 station, Tardis and the Liberator.

That Hell Boy piece is sick.

Did Chris force Matt to get that Nerdist Promo Code Tattoo to remind him not to say “WTF”?
I’m rocking a very Patriotic Optimus Prime.

Was that a dragon of Pern?
Pretty sure it’s the dragon from the original cover art for The Hobbit.
