I like the idea of science tattoos… Science concepts have this natural built-in aesthetic to them. Pretty cool…

Zimmers website is pretty nice imo.

The seaweed Dictyota menstrualis with amphipods Ampithoe longimana crawling on it. The subjects of my dissertation, the amphipod feeds on and lives on the seaweed. Feeding by the amphipod induces the seaweed to produce higher concentrations of chemicals that protect the seaweed from grazers. Erik Sotka took the picture, and has worked on the evolution of this seaweed-herbivore pair.

I have an Ourobouros twisted into an infinity symbol on my wrist and this weekend I’m getting a simple line design of a shark on the back of my neck (small).

This is the wrist one.

Carl's brother Ben made me aware of this thread and suggested I write in. I'm a lexicographer with a degree in linguistics; I have a phonetic vowel chart tattooed on my left shoulder blade. It was done in 1993, and it's two-color, and actually looks lame, so I don't have a photo of it anywhere. This New York Times article -- http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/19/arts/19dict.htm -- refers to it, but the writer and I agreed that the concept sounded neater than the actuality, so we didn't show a picture of it and decided to let readers' imaginations run wild. At some point though, I do want to get a new, enhanced one. That I'll take a picture of. - Steve

The hyperbolic plane (H2) is commonly represented in a mapping analogous to a stereographic projection of a sphere. I worked out a mapping analogous to Mercator projection, but have never seen it used; it preserves a line, and maps H2 to a strip. If I ever get a tattoo the most likely is a wristband based on this idea; perhaps a tiling of right-angled pentagons rendered as knotwork.
