> Oh yeah. My best friend’s ex had something written in Elvish (not sure if that’s right - LOTR stuff?) on his arm. The words weren’t ‘nerdy’ because the tattoo was in memorium of a friend, but the language was. He had some other ones too, but I don’t remember.

The fact that it’s non-LOTR related subject matter rendered in a Tolkienian script/language makes it _more_ nerdy. 😉

I’m actually working on a full backpiece which includes a large, purple platypus 🙂 . My tattoo artist has been doing ink for twenty five years, and says its the first platypus she’s ever tattooed.
