It can be challenging to apply temporary tattoos correctly. You have to make sure not to oversaturate them, then you have to apply just the right amount of pressure, and you also have to make sure you don’t have it crooked. So imagine taking those skills and using them to attempt to put on a temporary tattoo mask that covers your whole face! These Marvel designs featuring Spidey, Captain America, Hulk, and more certainly look… interesting. Yeah, that’s the word.

Have you ever loved a brand so much that you felt compelled to get a tattoo of its logo on your arm? Most people would say “no”, but TheRealMyron did and the result, as you can see above, is pretty horrendous. He tweeted the photo to Netflix, who decided to thank him for his loyalty by giving him a free year on the service.
Nice, but I hope they at least threw in a DVD subscription as well.

We’ve done plenty of tattoos on Fashionably Geek, but geeky implants aren’t something we see everyday. This one is a chest implant of the Fullmetal Alchemist logo. The customer had several circular implants on his arms that artist Hugh Mattay had done previously before he came in with a printout of this very complex logo for him to attempt. Hugh enlisted the help of Max Yampolskiy and three weeks later the customer had his very unique implant. No regrets right?
UPDATE (from the Editor): The word “horrifying” in the title was a later addition by me, not Nicole. Personally, I love seeing this sort of thing. It’s just painful to think about. It was removed.

Would you believe that it is possible to produce temporary electric tattoos which help humans fly drones with their minds? Charles Q. Choi breaks it down with electrical engineer Todd Coleman of the University of California at San Diego.
Coleman is working on noninvasive techniques of controlling machines with our minds and the end goal is for everyone to use them. One method involves using a temporary tattoo of sorts.
“We want something we can use in the coffee shop to have fun,” Coleman says.
The devices are less than 100 microns thick, the average diameter of a human hair. They consist of circuitry embedded in a layer or rubbery polyester that allow them to stretch, bend and wrinkle. They are barely visible when placed on skin, making them easy to conceal from others.
The devices can detect electrical signals linked with brain waves, and incorporate solar cells for power and antennas that allow them to communicate wirelessly or receive energy. Other elements can be added as well, like thermal sensors to monitor skin temperature and light detectors to analyze blood oxygen levels.
It sounds like it’s right out of a science fiction novel. Extensive testing and research still has to be done, but everyday use of these devices might not be too far away.

When you see this Evil Dead tattoo the word that probably comes to mind is epic. Ash himself agrees. Bruce Campbell tweeted that he was looking forward to seeing the first tattoo from the Evil Dead remake (key word being “remake”). When a fan replied and asked if he was buying, Campbell tweeted a picture of the above photo and challenged everyone to “beat it.” The first one that does gets directly reimbursed by Campbell—or so he says in the tweet after the break.

Hey, I just met you and this is crazy, but can I tattoo my name on your face?
I bet Ruslan Toumaniantz wasn’t expecting to get permission to lay down ink on his girlfriend Lesya’s face less than 24 hours after first meeting her in person. Because well, why would you? But if you’re Lesya, you do it for love. The duo met in a chat room, fell in love, and met in person in Moscow. Less than a day later, Ruslan – a tattoo artist – inked her face. Lesya sees it as a sign of her commitment (they are now engaged).
It’s fortunate that she sees it that way because the tattoo isn’t small and concealable. As you can see in the above photo, it covers the whole bottom half of her face. It’s a bit aggressive. Besides the visual impact, I would guess that getting so much ink had to hurt. A lot.
‘Their plans for a life together include her learning to tattoo while she also gets the full-body ink that she’s always dreamed of and of course a family,’ said a friend of Toumaniantz.
He added: ‘I know that there are people who are terrified that Lesya has made a rash decision that she’ll regret horribly, but sometimes the best decisions are the ones you make in an instant with your heart rather than the ones long-debated in your mind.
I don’t even have words.
