How can you tell the true geeks from the faux geeks? The diehards get signs of their geekiness inked into their skin.

This is a picture of a very fresh (day of!) tattoo of a flaming D20 (twenty-sided die, for all you non-dorks) sported by my brother, Chris McCarthy.

Chris decided to get his first tattoo on the occasion of his 18th birthday. This one should attract all the ladies as he heads off to college in the fall. ;)

Here’s to all the geeks willing to wear their pride on their arm! Go Chris!

I still say that it makes him critically flaming.
