Sherlock Holmes In Text

I think most people would agree with me when I say that Sherlock Holmes was a geek. Come on, think about it for a minute. No, stop thinking about Robert Downey Jr and how he made Sherlock Holmes all cool and stuff. The old school Sherlock Holmes that could deduce your entire life story from a small smudge of mud on your pants leg.

Allie, a graphic designer from Boston, sent in her tattoo of Sherlock Holmes complete with pipe and magnifying glass. What makes this extra special geeky is that it’s all done with the letters in his name with different fonts. Pretty awesome, eh?

    Sorry, Allie. Totally stealing your tattoo now.

    Unfortunately, to me, this is one of the ugliest Sherlock Holmes tattoos I have ever seen. However, since it's not on me, there isn't much else I can say…

    Allie, I have no idea if you read these comments at all, but if you do, I want you to design my next tattoo. This is excellent!! I adore the different fonts! I want, need, have to have, my kids names just this way! I tried to do it myself but it didn't look nearly as good as yours! Help, please!! Cheers!!!
