"Just wanted to jump on the bandwagon with my own tribute to my scientific style. This is a tattoo of the word for Body, Spirit, Person, People, and Life in Owens Valley Paiute, written in International Phonetic Alphabet. I am a Linguist that specializes in Endangered languages and thought I needed this tagged on me."–Russ
Will tattoos be all that remains of some languages? Something to ponder as you peruse the science tattoos I’ve posted on Flickr–76 and rising.

A lot of these tattoos look brand new (very bright unfaded colours, skin still inflamed…) I cannot help wondering if you are not showing people’s existing science tattoos as much as inspiring new ones?…
Nothing wrong with that obviously!

Does the International Phonetic Alphabet have a web site?

The Tattoo is about a year old, the picture was taken the day of, and yeah, just Google IPA, there are several good ones. There are even audio pronunciation programs.
