Getting Inked for Tux at OSCON
OSCON isn't just a gathering for talks on topics like Creating Location-aware Web 2.0 Applications on an Open Source Geospatial Platform and fightin' words from the stage; it's also an excuse for some interesting social gatherings, like this year's Community Choice awards (organized and sponsored by the corporate overlords at SourceForge, as you might recall, and with Slashdot's own special category), at which, among other festive activities, attendees were offered the chance to get open-source-related tattoos. There are shots of some of these up on the SourceForge Community pages, and — with some overlap — even more in this set at Flickr. (My pasty bicep^h^h^h^h^h shoulder is the one now adorned with a circled head of a happy Tux ala IBM; I was expecting it to hurt more than it actually did.) Anyone with techie tattoos, please disclose below.
Now he's getting a tattoo yeah
he's getting ink done
He asks for a 13
but they drew a 31!
Friends say he's trying too hard and he's not quite hip
But in his own mind he's the
he's the dopest trick
It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?
You've probably seen my photo around, but I'm trying to get them removed now.
Does that mean I can edit your tattoo to my own specifications as long as I give you credit?
'Cause I've got the needles right here...

But it's not an operating system, it's my whole life! See, I won't regret it.
here is my favorite.
Trying to pull a tough-guy face while sporting Tux on your arm just doesn't work.
Oh, you're not stuck, you're just unable to let go of the onion rings.
Inked? Did you mean linked?
you're right mom, can I go now?
If you're going to do something stupid like get an OSS logo tattoo, at least get something more cool than a penguin.
Too bad Linus's favorite animal wasn't the unicorn.
I thought /.ers liked Ponies...
Check out Unsealed: Whispers of Wisdom! http://unsealed.k3rnel.net It's an action-RPG about Open Sourcerers.
Yeah, if you want to look scary, don't settle for anything less than a Hans Reiser tattoo.
Ah, arrogance and stupidity, all in the same package. How efficient of you. -- Londo Mollari
I got MS tattooed on my dick, and you're all about to be fucked!
I got there pretty early and caught the announcement about free tattoos. My wife showed up a bit later, and told me I should go get one. I told her I didn't think so, and she responded that those were, "the best looking temp tattoos," she'd ever seen.
Then I told her they were real. She was in shock.
Her introduction to the open source/geek culture is progressing well though.
Can't speak for other women, but I read those as "I never want any contact with a real woman 'evah.'"
