Vintage Gadget Tattoos

I may have an original 1984 Macintosh on my work desk, but I would be out of my f—king mind to get a tattoo of it forever burnt in my skin. A ZX Spectrum, on the other side, is a very likely possibility. It just depends on the amount of Zacapa rum and Margaritas this weekend.

Note to the VHS tattoo dude: If you are going to drill a video tape into your skin for the rest of your life, at least pick a Sony Beta. [Obsolete]
