The Retcon Punchers spend an awful lot of time looking for ways to celebrate our nerdy obsessions. This means a lot of time sunk into scouring Etsy, Deviant Art, Think Geek or whatever. Sometimes we see things so great we just have to share them… and then clutch them fiercely to our collective chest. Throw it in The Vault.

Who Would Love This: Wonder Woman fans, old-school tattoo fans, rockabillies, and pin-up girls
Price: $25.00
You may not know this, but I love tattoos. I have a couple myself, and can’t wait to get more. This is a perfect marriage of all the things I like: comic books, vintage tattoo design, and secret nerd art. This 18×24 print could, to the untrained eye, just be a cool vintage piece of art, but SURPRISE! It’s a portrait of Wonder Woman! I love the design of her hair, and the roses, and…ok, basically I love everything about this. Is anyone at all remotely surprised by that fact? This practically has my name written all over it.


What would you think about getting this as an actual tattoo?
If Wonder Woman became important enough to me that I wanted a tattoo of her, I would probably want something like this. Again, it’s stealth nerd; to some, I would just look like a hipster with a vintage lady tattoo. Actually, getting vintage style tattoos, but replacing the “characters” with DC heroes is a pretty interesting idea…
Batman on the cross, that sort of thing?
More like…the heart that says “Mom” but instead says “Batman.” I’m not in the busines of crucifying super heroes.
Also, is it just me, or does Diana look a little hispanic in this image?
Yeah, she totally does.
