Believe it or not I am a bit of a nerd. I'm going to school for Theoretical Physics (don't worry I already have a big crowbar) and I want my next tattoo to be science related. I was considering a carbon or hydrogen atom, but would like something a bit more elaborate. Any ideas?

Also, this place is a ghost town.

Also again, awesome --> :dancinge:

Depends on where you are getting it at. A DNA strand wrapped around your bicep would look cool. You could even get your own DNA strand image and use that :)

as a physics major, you will become familiar with

If you truely want to show your how much of a nerd you are, around your bicep have 2.718281828459045235360287471352662497757(adjust the digits for how ever small the artist can tatoo..)

Or just a nice simple sqrt(-1)
since you wanna play on the theoretical side. I always preferred being in the lab and doing the experiments...

I like that one.

If I knew what it meant.. I could possibly relate, but ignorant of the equations=preventative medicine...

first picture I posted is the caffeine molecule
second picture is ethanol alcohol
The number is e. the natural log
the square root of -1 is an imaginary number.
the last picture is Schrodinger equation (a cat in a box with a poison bomb that may or may not have gone off, you dont know the state of the cat until you check) written in a yin/yang..

Well, punkrkr52 ..... did you get a new tat or not? ;) I just got my 10th and it is not science related at all ;)

LOL, you are correct Sir ;) :)

The problem is, once we see and know the state of his tattoo, a cat will die...

So what's your point? ;) It's just a cat :D

I was hoping that would inspire some pictures of the tat.
