Remember the shorts that used to run on Nickelodeon featuring talking bellies? They basically drew faces onto people’s bellies and moved the belly faces by sucking in their stomachs or puffing it out. Now you can do the same, minus having to draw faces on your belly, because you can just stick them on with these temporary tummy tattoos.

Maybe it’s because I don’t want to see what they’ll look like when I’m old and shriveled up, or maybe it’s just because I have a low threshold for pain that I’ve never had the desire to get a tattoo.

Yes, the Borg is a hive mind entity. But even so, there must be some mastermind behind the hive mind. Who could have orchestrated the attack at Wolf 359? Who is powerful enough to lead the Borg?

If you are into tattoos, you’ve probably seen some really awesome Star Wars designs, but have you ever seen one that has a UV glowing lightsaber? I didn’t think so. Well, as usual, the internet makes all of your dreams come true.

Apparently some people really are into their computers. And when I say really, I mean really. Take, for instance, this one girl who decided to have the Adobe Photoshop toolbar tattooed onto her arm.

If you loved temporary tattoos as a kid, then you’ll probably love Swissmiss’ new project Tattly, where they sell quite a few different sets that you can share with your friends. I especially like this tattoo, since its a watch that basically says that you’re very late, because who isn’t this time of year?

We featured a line of cases for the iPhone 4 called iTattoo, but this odd customization deserves that name more, as tacky as it is. Made by Sirtified, the iTat creates a permanent etching into the back glass of the iPhone 4 (or 4S).

There’s a new process called EES (Electrical Epidermal System) which allows scientists to apply circuits and electrical components directly to skin, which could be big news for medical sensors, but it could also potentially lead to LED tattoos, integrated video game interfaces and more.

This isn’t just a any old tattoo, but it’s actually an animated augmented reality tattoo, which in my book makes it awesomesauce. However, I still wouldn’t want one on my skin. Would you?

A guy going by the name CBZ decided promptly when he got himself a Nintendo 3DS last week that the first thing he needed to do was to run out and get himself an augmented reality tattoo.

All this talk about augmented reality is cool, but this is a really cool application of this technology. The design basically involved tattooing a simple barcode onto someone’s arm. What happens next? Well, check out the video below – when a camera views the barcode, it’s transformed into a flying dragon.

Going to prison is a bit like being a kid again, because you’re denied a lot of things. But most kids are largely content with make-believe toys and scenarios and even imaginary friends. Adults, on the other hand, won’t stop until they find alternatives.

PC World recently featured 12 geeky tattoos (the article calls them “tech tattoos”, but there are video game related ones as well) , but I think most of them can simply be called “dumb ideas.” Let’s have a look at some of the featured mistakes tattoos: I’m not too disgusted with that USB tattoo, because well, it’s simply lame.

I’m not sure how you handmake temporary tattoos, but Etsy artist michibags seems to know how. (I’m guessing it’s done with special inkjet paper and ink). Her latest creation is these temp tats of everyone’s favorite little Italian plumber, Mario.

If I hadn’t seen this with my own two eyes, I would have thought this was a product from a fake commercial on SNL… The GR8 TaT2 Maker from Spin Master Toys lets tykes aspire to greatness with their own junior tattoo parlor.
