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.

Quadratic Vertebrae

Quad_form_1"My name is Sharon and I'm an undergraduate math student at Arcadia University. A while ago, I decided that I wanted a tattoo that showed my love for mathematical formulas and equations. I got the quadratic formula on the back of my neck. The quadratic formula has been my favorite equation ever since I learned to sing it to the tune of "pop! goes the weasel." My tattoo is also useful for anyone who happens to sit behind me on an exam!"

The quadratic formula is a beautiful thing (extraneous roots notwithstanding). To this day that thing still rattles around in my dome although I've not had to use it since a math final long ago.

Cheers
