One of you—or at any rate, someone whose blog I read—featured on their blog, or had a commenter post a link to, a page of geeky tattoos some time last year, some of which were really amazing.

Does anyone remember where this was? (Or even just whose blog this was linked off?)

I had links to a couple of tatoos that looked like clockwork underneath the skin. Was that what you were looking for? (In which case, I need to look for the post...)

That's almost certainly it; I'll let you know when you show me.

I found the post, and the only URL it contains is http://i27.tinypic.com/2lkqquw.jpg

I could have sworn that I'd surfed further and found more in the same vein.

But it's still pretty cool.

Ah; I thought it was more like Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back (http://www.planet3rry.com/images/2008/080304hand.jpg), but that's fine too—thanks for digging up the link.

Now the question is whether I can create a similar effect to either using ink on top of the skin; if so, that'll do nicely for Purim this year, and saves me from having to top bright green hair.

Hmm... might need to invest in some coloured pens, and experiment first on a non-visible part of the body...

Henna colours are for that purpose. You just draw on your skin. I have never done it myself.
(still no home internet, bah!)

It was seeing someone who'd hennaed her hand at Limmud that gave me the idea. It was her telling me it would last a couple of weeks that gave me the idea of not using henna... (Though I might yet.)

That would have been me; I'll dig up the link later when my home internet is not so slooooooow.

Nope; it was actually green_knight—see upthread.
