Android tattoo girl

Natalie "Kommodore" Thompson just joined the rarified ranks of Zune Guy and the BlackBerry Storm Cankle Man with her very own Android tattoo. While obviously a fan of the brand new mobile OS, she says she did it mostly to show her support of open source in general, and ol' Tux lost out to the more-adorable little green bot (known affectionately around the Engadget HQ as "Marvin"). Add in that shutter shades t-shirt -- for a 100x multiplier -- and we're likely dealing with our very first fit-for-society tattoo nerd. Too bad she only dates robots.

Excellent!

[Jazzwall @ May 26th 2009 3:14AM]

Wow, she's cute!

[KarlW @ Jan 4th 2009 4:08PM]

She's also a publicity whore.

This whole tattoo business is getting like Big Brother and youtube. It was kind of curious the first time, now it's just filled with people trying to scramble for their 15 minutes of fame. Is this what it's about, seeing who can do the most stupid thing and get famous for it?

[000000 @ Jan 4th 2009 4:08PM]

Attention you know what.

[KarlW @ Jan 4th 2009 4:17PM]

Uhh... my theory seems to be supported by the read link going to her myspace page, meaning that she sent the story in herself rather than Engadget re-reporting it from a reputable news source.

If she really wanted to support open source, she could do it by donating money or learning programming. You don't get blog space or your own reality show, but it actually helps. The proverbial man will not have anything stuck to him by a tattoo.

[Jazzwall @ Jan 4th 2009 4:21PM]

Life is too short... if a cute girl like this gets a tattoo... I'm going to enjoy it, not call her out on publicity stunts.

[Setnev @ Jan 4th 2009 4:27PM]

Seriously, what do all these replys have to do on how hot she is. Get your own space!!

[Kommodore @ Jan 4th 2009 4:48PM]

Actually it was a guy from androidcommunity.com who submitted. lol

[Wormbolt @ Jan 4th 2009 5:03PM]

After you have sex with her you have to make her available for sex with anyone else who wants it. That's what the GPL is all about.

[tnkgrl @ Jan 4th 2009 5:06PM]

@KarlW, maybe she already knows how to program. You do know there are girls around here (like me) who know hoe to program and hack, right?

[Steve @ Jan 4th 2009 5:18PM]

Ahhh no!

[KilgoreTrout @ Jan 4th 2009 5:18PM]

@ KarlW

Yea, she surely is; and so what?

[NG @ Jan 4th 2009 5:47PM]

@Setnev
A cute girl with a cute robot tattoo.. whats wrong with that

[Sean @ Jan 4th 2009 5:55PM]

Every guy saying that she is cute honestly needs to get some..........(help)

[KarlW @ Jan 4th 2009 6:06PM]

I'm not normally a hater, I just disapprove of people branding themselves to get some media attention. Giving them the attention on a blog as widely read as Engadget is only going to encourage more people to do it. I'm also aware that there are many female programmers, my point is that there are far more productive ways to support a cause than to tattoo yourself with logos.

Tattooing yourself doesn't make you more deserving of more attention than those who use their skills to directly contribute to efforts like Linux, KDE, Wine, ReactOS...etc. My problem is that the media attention isn't related to what people have accomplished. Maybe it's inevitable, but it doesn't mean I can't complain about it.

[atm @ Jan 4th 2009 6:27PM]

Yeah she is cute which is why she can't be android girl, she needs to be as ugly as the G1.

[cwj @ Jan 4th 2009 7:32PM]

@ Cody

Awww....she doesn't conform to your personal standards for female beauty. We're sowwie.

Or maybe your just jealous? Hm.

Beautiful eyes on that one.

[msalivar @ Jan 4th 2009 8:03PM]

So you're more of a KDE guy (into dressed up gloss and glitter), and she's more XFCE (just beautiful with out all that crap). That doesn't mean she's ugly, not by a long shot.

I'd say she's Gnome, but clearly she's not fat and bloated. I guess I should have used Enlightenment instead of KDE...

[Jake B @ Jan 4th 2009 9:03PM]

Yawn, typical girl. I could find a dozen of those in a minute at pretty much any grocery store.

[FUNT @ Jan 4th 2009 10:12PM]

KarlW [ she might be a publicity whore, but you are a ball slapper.

[deedeedee @ Jan 4th 2009 11:31PM]

@ KarlW

you do realize the clothes you wear are branded，unless you knit or make your own cloth... so either you go nude or start learning how to knit god damn it!

[Drybonz @ Jan 4th 2009 11:36PM]

Yeah... definitely much better looking than the Zune guy.

[Jon Doe. @ Jan 5th 2009 1:09AM]

Zune Dude < Dell Dude < Apple Stoner Chick

[facebookfake @ Jan 5th 2009 2:45AM]

@deedeedee

None of my close are branded. And I don't knit.

[Mike @ Jan 5th 2009 8:52AM]

Wow, even tnkgrl commented here. Love your work!

[Crazy Larry @ Jan 5th 2009 9:43AM]

It's a real tattoo...you see the bumpy skin inside the tattoo? It's scar tissue from the tattoo...

[Mustaine @ Jan 5th 2009 7:06PM]

she needs to eat, maybe then she can grow long healthy hair instead of needing to cut it.

[bunt @ Mar 5th 2009 7:58AM]

I'm a robot....

[blueangel00100 @ Jan 4th 2009 3:59PM]

SHE IS HOT!!!

[Flashpoint @ Jan 4th 2009 4:26PM]

She looks EMO

[KAIKAI @ Jan 4th 2009 4:29PM]

@flashpoint
there fore HOT!!! :D

[Messymeese @ Jan 4th 2009 4:43PM]

@Flashpoint

Are you 12?

[Brent Schmidt @ Jan 4th 2009 4:57PM]

This is full of win.

[anus1220 @ Jan 4th 2009 5:07PM]

mmmmm cute.
but it looks like she did the tat herself lol

[ProfessorDex @ Jan 4th 2009 5:13PM]

Tattoo also looks a little wonky to me too. Looks like she got creative with some markers and it'll wash off if she sweats too much.

[wickedpheonix @ Jan 4th 2009 6:25PM]

"Too bad she only dates robots."

I'm a robot... in bed ;)

[ninjatales @ Jan 5th 2009 2:30AM]

But can she do the "Robo-boogie"?

[Trevsweb @ Jan 4th 2009 5:44PM]

i can see why she chose the android mascot as a tattoo if shes geeky. its quite cute and she can pull it off as any other tattoo untill google take over the world! cool tattoo tho. hope she doesnt turn into the fat slob zuneguy was tho.

[Owen @ Jan 4th 2009 4:42PM]

The android bot is not as well known and in my opinion is kinda cute. It would make a better tattoo than the zune logo or apple logo any day

[Trevsweb @ Jan 4th 2009 5:44PM]

yea i think so too

[Mark @ Jan 4th 2009 4:04PM]

Her and Zune Guy should go out on a date. Damn sure they aren't dating anyone right now.

[Wiigee @ Jan 4th 2009 4:09PM]

she might be seeing someone. zuneguy, id guess is single.

[thetansman @ Jan 4th 2009 4:12PM]

Weird, comment I was lambasting has disappeared. Oh well, it applies to most of the rest of you freaks.

[Osayi @ Jan 4th 2009 4:51PM]

It says on her MySpace page (if you follow the Read link) that she's in a relationship. I don't think it's with the Zune guy. Maybe he should wait for a Symbian girl?

[Daren @ Jan 4th 2009 6:48PM]

zune guy doesnt use the zune anymore. He has a slacker G2 now.

[ProfessorKaos @ Jan 4th 2009 7:13PM]

Until she SEES zune guy, why would anyone go near that guy? lol, she deserves better, not implying me, who is taken :)

[XChrisX @ Jan 4th 2009 4:03PM]

Girl is definitely hot, great tattoo as well.

[ILoveApple @ Jan 4th 2009 4:00PM]

Nice carpet!

[FILA @ Jan 4th 2009 5:47PM]

that is pretty nice carpet if i must say myself
