Getting inked is one of the biggest commitments a person can make in their life, a tattoo is a piece of art that will be with them the rest of their lives.

I bring you these 24 Tribute Tattoos as a homage to those willing enough to sacrifice a part of their body to their favorite guilty geeky pleasure.
