Wired.com tracked down some great comic book-inspired tattoos at this year's ComicCon in San Diego, but we suspected our readers could show us some mad ink. We were right. Check out our favorite comics-inspired tattoos submitted by you.Quite a few of the entries were definitely geeky, but not necessarily comic related, so we decided to give them some net space at our Wired.com Readers' Best Geek Tattoos gallery. Enjoy!Left: Comic CollectionPhotographer's comment:Jean Grey as PhoenixPhotographer's comment:Super Mario Duper TattooPhotographer's comment:Vissago's MetroidPhotographer's comment:Marvel ZombiesPhotographer's comment:The Corinthian from Neil Gaiman's The SandmanPhotographer's comment:The Sandman. It's part of an entire Sandman sleeve mostly inked by Kevin Lytle of Eternal Tattoo in Livonia, Michigan. It was Kevin's idea to surround him in a crown of leaves in which human eyeballs -- his feast of choice -- substitute for berries or flowers."Death and Life of SupermanPhotographer's comment:Godzilla & Co.Photographer's comment:Boba FettPhotographer's comment:Return of the Jedi."Major Motoko KusanagiPhotographer's comment:Akira TattooPhotographer's comment:"My Akira sleeve, based on the comic not the movie. I started designing this when I was 16 years old. It's changed a bit over the years, and once I found an artist who could do what I wanted, we got to work. This is the final result, depicting the moments after Akira awakens and nukes Neo-Tokyo."
