Think Different

We wish this person thought a little differently when getting this tat.

Sidekick II

Meet the biggest Danger Hiptop enthusiast ever. Where was homie when T-Mobile re-released the Sidekick in Android form?

Twitter Fail Whale

Tatting Twitter's over capacity icon anywhere on your body is a fail in itself.

Bill Gates

We had no idea the Silicon Valley deity had such a hardcore following. All hail the Microsoft capo?

Reddit Jedi

The force is strong with this one.

Safari

This dude should have used Safari to find a better tattoo artist.

Dell

Dude, you're getting a...Dell tattoo? Seriously? SMH.

Linux Penguin

Even though the company logo is a caricature, Executive Director Jon “Mad Dog” Hall reps his set to the fullest.

Android Robot

Natalie aka “kommodore” celebrated her born day by getting Google’s mobile mascot branded on her wrist. Clever, but the Ice Cream Sandwich logo could have added some sex appeal. Just sayin’.

The Zune Tattoo Guy

Steven Smith AKA the “Zune Tattoo Guy” loves his Microsoft media player so much, he also has two other Zune-related tattoos on his body—one of the Zune “Share Bunny” and another with the catchphrase “Welcome to the Social.” He even went as far as trying to change his government to “Microsoft Zune.” Twice!

HTML Body Tags

You don’t have to be web developer or programmer to figure this one out. Notice how he purposely hid the closed body tag. What you hiding buddy?

Apple UV Tattoo

Flickr user TheMadApple takes the art to a new extreme by getting his tat done with UV (Ultraviolet) ink, which illuminates the Apple icon under black lighting. Sick.

The Blue Screen of Death

What compels someone to tat the infamous BSOD code on their entire arm? We’re waiting for an Xbox 360 fanboy to mark himself with the Red Ring of Death.

Ubuntu

You really, really have to be a fan of the popular Linux distribution to get your arm covered in the logo. To each his own.

MySpace

This guy must feel like the biggest douche right now.

Wordpress

The content management system of choice runs in the veins of every blogger. But if you're looking to wear the WP symbol on your arm, at least shave the entire thing dude.

BlackBerry Storm

Crackberry ran a “What Would You Do For A BlackBerry Storm?” contest back in 2008, with some guy named T.J. winning the promotion after getting a life-sized tat of the phone on his leg. What’s even more insane is the tattoo artist just so happened to be wearing an iPhone t-shirt the same day he created the design. Had T.J. tested the Storm before hand, he would have opted for a Curve.

USB Symbol

Looks like someone is ready to be plugged at all times. Keep your flash drives away from this person.

Mac Power Button

It’s fair to say Flickr member r3v || cls’s admiration for Apple computers is skin deep.

Mozilla Firefox

Well, we know where this dude's web browsing loyalty lies.

Windows Vista

Not Windows 7, XP, or even 2000. Vista….Vista! Jigga man said it best: "Gotta learn to live with regrets."

T-Pain's Facebook "Like" Tattoo

Teddy Penderass thought he was making a fashion statement after getting the Facebook-inspired design on his arm during a trip to Hawaii. “I get a tattoo every time I come to Hawaii. I think this one is pretty sweet, unless facebook shuts down soon,” tweeted the Auto-Tune crooner. You've officially been chopped and screwed.

Google

Type tattoo fails in the search engine box and watch Google Instant pull up this winner.

Cisco Systems

Rocking a network company on your arm is wacker than having a tribal band tatted.

Steve Jobs

There are a few Apple fans out there inking themselves up in homage of the late great Apple co-founder, but none even come close to this tribute. Illest Steve Jobs tattoo so far.
