The whole web page
These ones can be used as HTML cheat sheet actually:

“Does not make sense if you don’t understand HTML”
Actually, it does…


One tag at a time, baby

Totally awesome, I really never thought about code for a tat. Now I got some thinking to do for a new creation.
Thanks for the coolness.

I’m not sure what is more geeky… getting tattooed in binary, or writing a binary-to-ASCII function so that I could translate those tattoos.

I think it’s a brilliant idea. Was too lazy to translate those binary codes though.

Yeah, this is pretty geeky.

shadowhand: Don’t worry about feeling geeky; I happened to write a script to translate binary just a couple of days ago
One of the tattoos reads, for instance, ‘ALLgODSDIE’ [sic].

For those of you who are interested in what the binary tatoos say:
J K
n e v e r q u i t
4 2
l o v e
A L L g O D S D I E
w a l t e r s
W A T T S
A C E
J o e
F r e e Y o u r M i n d
These are the ones I could translate, but some of the fotos do not show all ones and zeros.

This isn’t geeky, this is attention seeking! The complete opposite of being geeky.

i also pulled up an ascii to text program and did every tattoo. i feel slightly less nerdy knowing i wasnt the only one.
