anything of a fractal nature would look very cool

Is there a minus-sign missing in the second line?

What about planets revolving around the sun or something with astronomy? Also, there is a book out there that the author takes mathematical proofs and makes a picture out of it. I have never seen they but there could be some great ideas in there!

Here's what I have in terms of physics tattoos.

Sorry to bump an old thread. I really want to get something like these bubble chamber photos.

This one is even more beautiful, but I'm not sure how it would be done.

Please let me know what you think. :)

Since I learned what they are, I have noticed a TON of people with Bubble chamber tattoos. Where I live it's a huge fad, even among those not interested in physics. It's more of a thing that has become prevelant since CERN and the LHC became internet phenomenons.

I kind of like the idea of a Feynman diagram tattoo myself, though something a little more complex than the electromagnetic interaction ones you always see.

Where do you live? When you say a "ton", how many are we talking? Enough for it to be unoriginal or played out? I haven't ever met anyone that knows what I'm talking about when I describe it, let alone have a tattoo of one so I might be okay in my area.

How about just a spiderman tattoo.

spiderman uses physics of tension in string and equilibrium too... so it should do..:biggrin:

The only tattoos worth something are washed-out tattoos of mermaids and anchors. That's for real men.

I'd get a t-shirt with bubble chamber designs on it, but never a tattoo of it.
A tattoo of equations and stuff like that just makes it look like you're trying too hard to look smart.

I remember when a friend of mine wanted to get a tatoo of E=mc^2. I told him that was so weak (of course, I was joking). I told him that the equation was algebriac. I said get something "manly" like a partial differential equation like the Schrodinger or Dirac equation.
 
  • #125
I don't recommend tattoos, but the 7th order KdV equation around a wrist or other limb would be interesting to see (on someone else but me). Not sure yet what it's useful for though.

Decided to get a Mandelbrot fractal below my clavicle and the bubble tracks wrapped around my bicep. I went in and worked a design with the artist yesterday. I was pretty stunned when I came home to read Mandelbrot died yesterday.

There is a square missing, it should be E^2 instead of E in the energy-momentum relation.

How does this happen? I noticed it within 2 seconds of looking at that picture. You'd think people would pay more attention to what they permanently write on their skin.

Then again, I've seen a lot worse tattoo typos on the internets...

I am seriously considering a tesseract. I love this one. I would like to get it in a smaller version and on the inside of my bicep.

LOL. I'm guessing the owner of that tatoo is more of a physics "admirer" than a physics practicer.

I know this might be a bit pictorial, but how about Feynman diagrams. Maybe, a tatoo of the one loop corrections to the QED Lagrangian? My friend has some Feynman diagrams for tatoos and it always leads to interesting conversations at parties.
 
  • #136
I'm thinking of getting a Feynman diagram tattoo myself for various reason, however I'm not sure which to go with - the standard electromagnetic (http://uslhc.quantumdiaries.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/eetoee1.png ) seems a bit boring, does anyone have any suggestions?
