If you've spent any time at a con, you've likely seen some pretty unique tattoos inspired by geek culture. Maybe you're considering getting a tattoo yourself, in which case you probably need some ideas.
These 10 super-cool nerdy tattoos will help you come up with your own tattoo, so you can wear your fave fandom on your sleeve (or legs..or back...or wherever you want).
Stranger Things
From a D&D dice to the Demogorgon, this Stranger Things tattoo captures all the dark wonder of the Netflix series. All that's missing are some Eggos!
Where the Wild Things Are
Let the wild rumpus start! This unique design captures the magical mischief of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are.
Star Trek
The final frontier is full of tattoo ideas. Whether you want a subtle design like this one, or something a little more bold, if you want a Star Trek tattoo, it's easy to make it so.
Dune
If you're a little nervous about needles, then a Dune tattoo is a perfect reminder that fear is the mind-killer. This cheeky black and white piece features both a sandworm and the Spice.
Blade Runner
If you love the Blade Runner franchise (or its inspiration, Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), a colorful tattoo like this one of Rachael might be something you'd want to replicate.
Doctor Who
This Dalek tattoo is sinister and sweet. Doctor Who is full of timey-wimey tattoo inspirations, from the TARDIS itself to the Weeping Angels or sonic screwdrivers.
The Thing
John Carpenter's cult sci-fi horror movie The Thing is an alien invasion classic. All of Carpenter's films, from Escape to New York and They Live to Village of the Damned, offer plenty of ideas for nostalgic tattoos.
Sailor Moon
Moon Prism Power, Make Up! Unlock your own magical girl transformation with a Sailor Moon tattoo like this ethereal piece.
The Hobbit
This cute tattoo takes inspiration from "barrel-rider," the epithet Bilbo Baggins gives himself during his encounter with Smaug in The Hobbit.
Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium is brimming with inspiration for body art. You could even consider a design inspired by some of Tolkien's own artwork.
