Or is it just a cool design with no special meaning??

I have no idea why he chose it DSR, but it's part of the artwork by artist HR Giger called Illuminatus. Here's a thumbnail of what the whole piece looks like (just click on the thumbnail to see a larger version):

It struck me that his two shoulders reflect such different philosophies. The Geiger tattoo, especially--with that safety pin stuck through the person's cheek--struck me as such a reflection of postmodernism and the disillusion (and dependence) of modern people about their technological world. And the eye on the forehead reminds me of the Masonic eye, as evidenced on the back of the US one-dollar bill. So interesting, so intriguing!

Here are the two stanzas about the two tats from my Ode to the Shoulder Tats:

The Geiger tattoo sits upon the right,
A left-brain vision of postmodern rage—
That face, victor and victim of the fight,
Enhanced and ruined in this cyber age.

Upon the left, serenity and peace;
The lotus holds Enlightenment secure—
The spirit soars, the mind’s sharp torments cease;
Released, the soul discovers what is pure.
