A forkbomb? VI > Emacs?

I don't know... I'm not really sure what you'd define as a "cool" command for a tattoo...

I call the commands "useful", some "not so useful", I don't think any merit "cool" though…

Please, don't do this. Most people won't get it, and those who do will just think you're a tool. Seriously, don't do it!

Get your sudo password tattooed so you can remember it.

put grep on your hand! Get it?

But to be honost, I'm gonna go with Simian Man and say don't do it.
And if you do wish to get one, don't do it on a place so visible. Although tatoos are cool in some cases, it's still 'frowned upon' by a lot of people (especially in corporate environments)

The command was removed, as it would break the system.

What, the 'snip' command? - I'll try sudo apt-get install snip then... :P

If I were to get a Linux tatoo I would put:

emerge GNU
emerge Linux
emerge freedom

Somewhere they had a bunch of portraits of famous people and commands like:
Lincoln

sudo apt-get install freedom
Gandhi

sudo apt-get install peace
or something like that.

Those are not real commands, but people are more likely to understand them. You can put something more cryptic of course.

If you like to share stuff, maybe this one is nice (maybe not as a tattoo though):

(don't run this one for real - it will totally break your system - it reflects an attitude, that's all)
