Science Tattoos, Again

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — Ethan @ 9:34 pm

I’m still thinking about what I want to get for the commemorative tattoo I was talking about here. Starting to narrow in down, and right now I’m leaning torward an armband featuring a Nepenthes pitcher, or possibly one of the bright red child’s microscope.

I am, after all, technically a botanist. Nepenthes are some of the most striking plants, and I have a deep love for them. I’m already starting to add it to my mental self-image. The biggest question is, which species?

I like the sassy look on this guy

But this ones more shapely

But this one's more shapely

And so on.

I got the microscope for christmas when I was 5.  I still have that microscope on my mantle.  For a little while, I slept with it under my arm like a teddybear.

Either way, when it’s done, I’ll have to post it to the gallery here. The Science Tattoo Emporium has given me more entertainment than it should.
