So at the moment, I can’t afford to get the big piece I’d like but I’m feeling the itch for a new tattoo. I want to get something small and cute and nerdy. I am into Star Wars, Doctor Who, Firefly, Buffy, etc. Sci fi, basically. Any ideas or suggestions? I am thinking about getting it on either my shoulder or foot.
Some thoughts: a lightsaber, the Imperial insignia, a word written in Gallifreyan, or (dorky as it sounds) one of the lines from the Firefly theme song.
I try to stay away from just words. If there are words, I tend to have them as part of the tattoo, not the whole tattoo. It’s much easier to work with the piece later if you plan on adding to it.
Why not get a small Dalek or Tardis? Maybe a Babel Fish? Greedo’s head with x’s over the eyes and a banner that says ” Han shot first”.
I would love to do any of these tattoos as I am a super nerd.
Hahaha I love the idea of the Greedo tattoo. One of my favorite shirts is actually a tattoo style banner that says “Han Shot First”. I love getting nerdy tattoos because it just seems like more fun all around. When I got my robot and my Wonder Woman, the artists totally geeked out and it was awesome.
In theory I like the idea of there being layers, and something hidden to art, so given the symbolism and foreign characters of Gallifreyan text (new or old), I like the idea that it could be a chance to have geek within geek. Like a Gallifreyan: “Han Shot First”, or “You can’t take the sky from me”, etc. The translation and appearance would be another matter.
On another note, a K-9 could be a nice, small, companion for your robot.
Dear sweet baby Jesus, I’d get that in a heartbeat if I could. That’s amazing. 😀
And yeah, I love the idea of getting something geeky in Gallifreyan. I’m pretty sure there’s an alphabet I could look up, but the whole grammar of how a sentence would work is a bit of a loss to me- then again, it’s a language from a sci fi show so how nitpicky can I be haha.
