Most of the time the common reaction to a geek tattoo is “wow!”. But every now and then there’s one that makes you say “awwww…” instead. The owner of this tattoo, JR, and his wife are huge geeks. She’s a hardcore NES player and still loves the old school 8-bit and 16-bit console games. She mentioned to JR (before they were even dating!) that she wanted to get an 8-bit heart tattooed on her. JR, being the fool that only love can make you, stole the idea and got it done over his lunch break one day. Rightfully so, the missus was not too pleased, but eventually forgave him and now they’re married. And someday JR says he’ll tell his kid that he stole their mother’s heart and he wears it on his sleeve.
