The Nature of the Emporium

  • I (a science writer) wondered aloud if scientists had tattoos of their science. The answer was yes, and this site is the evidence. I'll be adding a new tattoo every day until I run out (if that day ever comes). If you want to share your own scientific ink, send it to me with some explanation.

The Tree of Life

Haeckel_leg"I'm a biochemist, but I've always been fascinated by evolution. Here's my tattoo representing the tree of life, based loosely on a couple of phylogenetic trees drawn by Ernst Haeckel. Here it is attached to the pictures that inspired it."--Kevin
