Well, I used to make my own temporary tattoos and other one-time transfers using an HP-71B, graphic reversing lex files and programs, and a Thinkjet printer printing on wax paper. So, yes, an "HP calculator tattoo"...

Tattoos are for seamen ... ;) Seriously, tattoos are something highly emotional. Thus, I doubt there is anybody with a sliderule in his skin nor with a calculator. Though, with 6e9 people, some ppb effects may occur.

The ENTER key (with its arrow) is a trademark of HP calcs, but I don't think someone would put that image on his/her skin...
SIN, LOG, FIX, EXIT, are also not likely. TAN may be acceptable, but if you want TAN on your skin, a little sunbathing (or UV lamp) may do.

... who prefer not to have tatoos, is just to put an overlay over their skin!

First, I didn't believe that anybody had such a tattoo. But you know, there's nothing that doesn't exist. Here are some examples of geeky tattoos:
Scientific Tattoos
Euler's Identity Tattoo
And this guy has made a BIG and obvious error:
Calculator Tattoo
Just my 2¢,

Bruce, what about asking Egan Ford permission to use the artwork from the painting that his daughter made for him:
