Corey writes, “I got this tattoo as an homage to the pain of my graduate work. It’s a model of fulvic acid which is a representation of natural organic matter in the soil. I work with this molecule for my grad work and I figured I might as well get it etched into my skin so I can look at it and say, ‘Well, at least it hurt less than grad school at Cornell.’”
I have been considering getting oxytocin tattooed on me for the past 2 years…I intern in a la studying pairbonding and the neuroendocrinological mechanisms underlying the hormone… I LOVE that you got it tattooed on you! I was suggested to wait 5 years to see if I still felt the same way as to ensure making a rational decision, but the more I see others in the science field get science tattoos, the more willing I am to consider getting it sooner! I am all for cool small tattoos that you do research with!

Link to Science Tattoo Emporium is a dead-end.
[CZ: Thanks. Link fixed]
lol! Many things hurt less than grad school!
)))
…looks like you tattoo’d its enantiomer.
Oh. Wait…
lulz. it satisfies me that I am one of the 0.01% of people who get that. science elitism ftw!

Lab*
cool science tattoos* not small** it’s late
Awesome science tattoo!
Unfortunately the molecule I worked on during grad school is too complex. Luckily there are many other interesting molecules out there!
