Science tattoos


Depictions of a CERN bubble chamber and a horseshoe crab are two of the ten examples in an annotated gallery posted at Accidental Mysteries.

    I thought the photo collection was online somewhere, but my cursory searches haven't found it. Maybe there's a link on a previous incarnation of The Loom.

  2. I like body art, but have never had a tattoo or a piercing... I've often thought about getting a tattoo done, just a small one, and the only thing i can think of that i feel certain i would never feel regretful about getting after the fact is a tattoo of Euler's identity: e^(i.pi) + 1 = 0

    I'll need to find a tattoo artist with some mathematical nous to make me a stylised design!
