For the sake of science

I have always wanted a simple tattoo, something that could be covered and revealed as desired.

The problem is that I have never decided the what or where. I've put it to test and still cannot come up with a solution. So I am discrete and tattooless.

These folks, however, have outdone themselves. As a published biochemist, I am innately a science geek. I appreciate those who can wear that proudly on their sleeve... or rump.

Check out this flickr set put together by honcho science geek, Karl Zimmer.


Here are a few stand outs:
Baby Sperm Head
Cheat Sheet *
Heart in his Sleeve
The Most Dry and Boring One of All

And here are a couple gracefully beautiful ones:
DNA
Infinity
Haeckel's Marine Life *
Haeckel's Evolutionary Tree
Haeckel's Brittle Star
Fractal *

Will fix links shortly.
