Not science-y maybe, but as a geometry fan, this is what I decided to draw on my own leg when I impulsively bought a tattoo gun.

DIY Penrose energy, good energy.

Knowledge = power = energy = mass, which is why time dilates while you're in a book shop. (Sorry to Terry Pratchett.)

Nice try getting people to post identifing information Mr Feds fedposting

I work a lot with very dilute solutions, so I got the equation for calculating Parts Per Billion on my arm. The mods actually host it on this site, the link is at the bottom of the page right above the modlog

Hmm. How about an event horizon tat? Any interest?

I'm a big fan of the voyager pulsar map. I haven't got it yet but could come in handy if I get lost

Ohh I am in the process of convincing my wife to let me get my light cone tattooed on my arm. Just a small flat versions. Nothing super fancy I just like to envision a tattoos that is relative to me.

I have other dumb ones from when I was younger but they're not who I am now.

But my time cone the dot being my present and the cones a reminder of where I have come and where I am going, along with the limitations of the universe

I’ve got a tattoo of Penrose tiles. Does math/geometry count?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes, let's see it!

Alright here you go.

That's amazing!!! Well done, dude. Looks absolutely sick. Why this subject in particular?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I like geometric patterns and Penrose tiles are neat, mainly liked how they tile a plane infinitely without repeating. Wish I had a more satisfying answer but there it is.

I had a professor tell me many years ago that I'll make no money or probably be able to get through in the field and if I felt like it was a threat, I shouldn't be there. It was not a mean statement, just a warning for the realities of an underfunded industry. I am still here, just because I think it is neat. Sometimes, that is enough.
