Carl Zimmer's Science Tattoo Emporium: Pillars of Creation

About

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.

Ryan writes, "I am a big astronomy buff and this is a depiction of an eclipse with the Eagle Nebula and one of the angelic spires within it."

Carl: Check out this site at NASA for more pictures and some background about these staggering towers of light.
