Left: Ctrl+Alt+Del Submitted by Shahar Photographer's comment: "Comes to show it's that easy to reboot and start over.” : The Other Half of Rock Submitted by Aaron Sarazan Photographer's comment: "My brother and I got matching tattoos. He has a Guitar, with binary that says 'Rock' -- I've got a D20 with 'Roll.'” : Extra-Large DNA Submitted by Brandon Photographer's comment: "Seven years I've been working on this. Phase 1 is complete." : Geek 4 Life Submitted by Christopher Holmok Photographer's comment: "I am a GEEK 4 LIFE, SUCKA!!!" : Pi Tattoo Submitted by Drew Photographer's comment: "Since tattoos were illegal in Oklahoma until only a couple of years ago, my friends and I made a tradition out of annual road trips for tattoos. Every time I can't think of something new, I add some more digits to pi. It's up to 80 digits." : No More Hunting for Tape Measures Submitted by Dave Selden Photographer's comment: "As a woodworker-graphic designer, I use a tape measure or ruler almost every day. Now I have one always within arm's reach. I use it for my work, but also my play. I measured some trout for length with it on a fishing trip to Mount Hood this weekend." : Louder! Submitted by Ben Casey Photographer's comment: "I always wanted a musical tattoo, and the audio-out icon on my 266-Mhz G3 seemed more appropriate than a G clef.” : Bassoon Keywork on My Leg Submitted by Matthew S. Photographer's comment: "I was a bassoon major in college, and still play as a hobby. This gets a lot of interest, and many wrong guesses. The only people who have correctly identified it as a bassoon have all been players themselves. John at The Chameleon in Cambridge, Massachusetts, did a fantastic job on the artwork." : Seattle, Third Avenue, 2004 Submitted by mooargyle Photographer's comment: "Taken with Nikkormat FT2 (film)."
