Geek Body Mods

Super Mario Eyes by KatieAlves

It’s hard to maintain our appearances as geeks these days. Long gone are the days when black-framed spectacles and pocket protectors easily branded us as such. Hipsters have taken our glasses, and not all geeks dress alike. Sure, there are a plethora of shirts, jewelry, backpacks, and other items available to show off our geeky dispositions, but maybe those things are too impermanent to reflect your devotion. You need something to really show your commitment to the geek way of life. Besides going to the grocery store in your Sailor Moon cosplay, what can you do? Body mods! The folks in these photos have adorned their bodies with amazing geek art, including piercings, tattoos, nail art, and even makeup, such as the Mario Bros. eye shadow above. No one is going to doubt their devotion.

Tattoos are a classic and perfect for showcasing epic geekery, such as the D20 tat above, or this Enterprise chest piece.

If body piercing is more your style, Etsy has you covered. These circuit board plugs by MaraSaxer guarantee you’ll “be ready in style when our robot overlords take control.”

Of course, due to jobs, school, and other lifestyle restrictions, tattoos and piercings may not be an option. In that case, what about nail art? Forget those manicures at the mall. These steampunk nails are where it’s at.
