  3. cirrin on January 24th, 2008 at 6:59 pm:

    That’s so. . . sad.

  4. Scott on January 24th, 2008 at 7:00 pm:

    should someone make a “pwned” joke here??

  5. Tiffany on January 24th, 2008 at 7:24 pm:

    Linked to nothing. Identified as nothing. It says a lot.

  6. Stigmatic on January 24th, 2008 at 7:41 pm:

  7. krylonblue on January 24th, 2008 at 7:41 pm:

  11. Lulu on January 24th, 2008 at 9:57 pm:

    Now that’s just depressing. Clever, but depressing.

  12. JustJen on January 24th, 2008 at 10:15 pm:

    I’ve felt like writing something very similar these days…

  13. Kelli on January 24th, 2008 at 10:23 pm:

    Now now.. all caps isn’t proper syntax.

    Hee. Excellent though.

  14. Mollie on January 24th, 2008 at 10:34 pm:

  15. taal on January 25th, 2008 at 1:43 am:

    awwwww… cutest geek tattoo ever.

  16. jemb0t on January 25th, 2008 at 2:46 am:

    that is awesome!!

  17. nausea on January 25th, 2008 at 3:46 am:

    sweet…
    speaking of geekness it could also be interpreted as the beginning of a xss attack :)

  18. Telyn on January 25th, 2008 at 5:22 am:

    Feckin’ love it. Unequivocally love it. :)

  19. Caroline June on January 25th, 2008 at 6:13 am:

    I really really like the idea of the tattoo but the placement is a bit odd. But yeah, gotta love geek tattoos :)

  20. Sarvas on January 25th, 2008 at 8:30 am:

    why does it have to be sad… a link to nothing is pretty rad.. it can also mean that he is his own person… linked to nothing.. he stands alone.. that’s a warrior tattoo you fools

  21. Zara on January 25th, 2008 at 9:51 am:

    Yeah, I think that Sarvas’s idea is a nice way of interpreting the tattoo differently. Either way, great ink.

  22. jumpsheol on January 25th, 2008 at 11:01 am:

    i feel that way for 3 fucking long years, than i just get tired of it, i simply stop care about (because hurts feel that way), and i feel wonderful now, and so much to say , and i dont have that emptiness no more.

    i’m happy to share my feelings whit you guys. thank you

  23. Airi Zombie on January 25th, 2008 at 12:07 pm:

    I had a similar tattoo idea so it’s really nice to see that I’m not out of my mind for associating HTML with ink. :)

  24. deadlypoison on January 25th, 2008 at 2:30 pm:

    oh how i love that piece of code. i love geek tattoos.

  25. catherinef89 on January 25th, 2008 at 3:51 pm:

    Kelli, that was my first impression, too!

  26. katherine on January 25th, 2008 at 4:51 pm:

    I love that.

  27. kamuui on January 25th, 2008 at 5:04 pm:

    lol thats awesome but for some reason it reminds me of steve-o and his ass tattoo “your name here”

  28. Matt McInerney on January 25th, 2008 at 6:05 pm:

    should lowercase or it won’t validate under XHTML 1.0

  29. Diego on January 25th, 2008 at 9:41 pm:

    to 28 - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! don´t mess with web standards

  30. Torra Luna on January 25th, 2008 at 11:35 pm:

    Never in my life have I seen a design that was more perfect. I have been trying to think of a way to express this feeling for years and it just makes me want to sob and give that guy a hug. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful

  31. jonnycore on January 26th, 2008 at 10:54 am:

    Airi Zombie~ “had”..?

  32. Sugar on January 27th, 2008 at 9:24 am:

    Wow - I actually am starting to understand the geek tattoos!

  33. james on January 27th, 2008 at 12:39 pm:

  34. Ezequiel on February 6th, 2008 at 8:23 am:

    whats with people getting lonely emotional shit tattooed on them, waste of canvas. get happy shit, if you feel shitty why waste money and time getting it tattooed on you just to remind you?

    being lonely enough to the point of wanting it tattooed seems barely a step away from the point of suicide, why waste 60 bucks on a crap ass tattoo if you’re just gonna step into traffic anyway
