9 Simple Tattoos That Speak To Your Inner Nerd

If you're some kind of nerd, you should be extremely proud of yourself. Congratulations, you are a part of the most interesting group of people! You're smart, fun to talk to, and most of all, very passionate about various subjects..

At some point or another, you may have considered donning yourself in a tattoo that reflects your nerdy-ness. But you've also got classy and understated taste, and don't want to over do it.

Here are some of my favorite "nerdy" tattoos I've come across, many of which I wouldn't mind getting myself!

1. Chemistry Nerd

Totally into science and chemistry? What a cute little nod to your passion that's not too distracting or big.


2. "Game of Thrones" Nerd

Most people who have seen "Game of Thrones" enjoy the show. While not technically nerds, you've got to be one to get this tattoo, that's for sure. If you're still rooting hard core for the Starks at this point, then you've made it far enough to deserve the direwolf sigil tattoo.


4. HTML Nerd

This one is seriously adorable. Especially if it's the kind of thing you do for a living. It's also basic enough for someone like me (who doesn't know too much about html) to understand.


5. 'Star Wars' Nerd

What I like most about this one is it's subtle placement behind the ear. What a perfect tattoo for the new movie coming out soon!


6. Disney Nerd

If you're a Disney nerd but don't want the usual Disney princess or 'Alice in Wonderland' cliche, this one is PERFECT! Get Rafiki's painting of Simba on your wrist for a cute, tiny little lion cub to give you smiles throughout the day.


7. Space Nerd

This super minimalist wrist tattoo is ideal for those who are obsessed with what lies beyond Earth and our solar system.


8. Writing Nerd

Big nerd for the written word? (Haha) The quill and ink pot on your thumbs are perfect (especially as you watch them type away amazing stories on your computer!!)

9. 'Harry Potter' Nerd

Probably one of the most beloved quotes in the series between Dumbledore and Snape. It will Always be a good idea for your HP themed tattoo.

Disclaimer: Being a nerd is totally cool. This isn't the 90s anymore where being called a "nerd" or a "geek" could actually kinda hurt your feelings. (See: All 90s teen sitcoms) Be loud. Be proud! Flaunt your nerd self.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
