I'm a sophomore biochem major currently in my first semester of organic. When I first encountered the benzene ring, it almost immediately became one of my favorite structures, mainly for its symmetry and simplicity. I love this!

I remember hearing the story of Kekule in high school, I think it's amazing the things our mind comes up with when we're not paying attention. I think Edison used a similar method when he was inventing the lightbulb, he used to sit in a chair holding heavy balls for as long as he could until he started to doze off and dropped them. The sound of the balls dropping would trigger a dream-like state that helped him solve problems. This tattoo is the best yet – excellent choice!
