Awesome geek tattoos

These totally awesome comic book and geeky tattoos make me want so badly to overcome my fear and get inked myself. Wired has a wicked gallery of comic-inspired tattoos from ComicCon.

Women in the Israeli army

You may have seen this already, and I'm sure I've come across a few of these images, but not the whole collection.

Photographer Rachel Papo's Serial No. 3817131 is just a stunning collection of amazing photos depicting the everyday lives of women in the Israeli army. The project is named after the photographer's own ID number during her service.

Incidentally, I had to use kroxy to get to the gallery, because the photography is apparently unsafe and categorised as "weapons". Filtering, you're doing it wrong.
