Sometimes the New York Times’ slideshows are really bad or boring or overly dramatized, but earlier this week the Times ran a pretty impressive 16 slide show of science tattoos called Science, Skin and Ink . It’s amazing what people have done to their bodies and even more amazing how talented tattoo artists are (under different circumstances I might switch those two clauses). A few favorites:
Edison’s Phonograph
The first device that would record and play back sounds, voices, and music!
Einstein and Newton Equations
Enough said.
The Golden Ratio
Look at how pretty its geometric expression can be!
I’m thinking next time they should do “Science”, Skin and Ink… a 16 slide show of science fiction tattoos. With all the loony Trekkies out there, I’m sure it would be even more impressive. I know the perfect Star Wars contender.
