“This is a rendition of Andreas Vesalius’ ‘The Quivering Brain.’ I admired many of his anatomy studies in art school, as I spent fifteen years as a painter, but I was always a little more interested in science than art. I even considered a career as a medical illustrator at one point.
Using science as artistic reference and researching for a painting was my favorite part of painting. Actually, it was the only thing I really enjoyed. It took me many years to realize this. I got this tattoo right before going back to school to study neuroscience. It couldn’t be more perfect.”
Hi, I’m researching a documentary on Vesalius and I am looking for people with Vesalius inspired tattoos. Please e-mail me at kelly.ushpol@gmail.com if you have one. Thanks

I have two Vesalius tattoos myself. Sweet! What a great tribute to the master of anatomy. We owe our knowledge of self to him.
