I’m probably done (emphasis on “probably” — you know I never follow that “I’m not posting rule” when I say I will) until Monday, but before I go a quick science tattoo done at Exotix in Toronto. As well as BME’s huge “Geek Tattoos” section, I wanted to recommend the superb “Carl Zimmer’s Science Tattoo Emporium” blog, which has lots of science tattoos and their backstories and makes a great read.

BME/News and Modblog highlight only a small fraction of what
Erlenmeyer was the man.
it works, bitches
hmmm…dexter’s laboratory flash back. Back in ten minutes.
LOL @ Fionna’s xkcd reference!
Hmm…Thanks for the link to the blog. I’ve got a tattoo from field research (although the subject matter falls more under the “nature/wildlife” category than the “geek” category on BME) and am planning one based on lab research as a reward to self when I finish my MS. (Full sleeve to come after PhD…)
haha! this is just too fucking badass, i love it
Haha that’s brilliant
^_^
it just makes me think of that quote from anchorman, “it’s science” heheh
There’s something wrong with me!
At first glance I thought it said “semen”, and later when I went back here to look for updates, it looked like “semen” again.
Love it, tho. The tatto, not the semen. Well, the semen too, but in this context, I meant the tattoo. It’s all sorts of awesome.
ha, and i thought my double helix scar was nerdy!
this is awesome.
crudbuckets. now i’ve got ‘she blinded me with science’ running through my head and it will not stop.
is IS a wonderful day for this!
fun!
#10 Same here!
And wouldn’t it be cute to have a little boiling flask on the other side =)
Love it but it looks like the orange is so angry, hopefully thats just the shading and not an evil reaction to the ink.
#10 me too! That’s the first thing I though of. At one of my jobs I heard that song at least once an hour!!
i just got blinded.
:)
I’m glad everybody likes my tattoo. It looks angry because this photograph is the day after I got it, and it was quiet scabby.Also, the bubbles are heart, but it doesn’t look very clear in this photo)
I’m a chem eng major who works in QC and R&D at a chemical plant, so I really must love science! I’m lucky to be in a field where I might have to cover it up for some meetings, but overall my mods are pretty well accepted. (Including my 1″ ear lobes and 2mm nostrils)
