What's the perfect math tattoo for me?

In summary, the conversation revolves around the topic of getting a math-related tattoo, with possible suggestions being an Euler spiral on the wrist or Euler's identity as a "tramp stamp." The individual's mother suggests the rational version of the golden ratio, but the individual disagrees and considers it to be "lame." The term "tramp stamp" is slang for a tattoo on the lower back and is often associated with promiscuity. One person in the conversation expresses their opinion that the rational version of the golden ratio is not aesthetically pleasing.

I've been thinking of getting a math-related tattoo, and I decided to go ahead with it, but I'm not sure what it should be. Maybe a small Euler spiral on my wrist? My mother thinks I should get the rational version of the golden ratio, but I think that'd just be lame. Thoughts please?

A tramp stamp is slang for a tattoo on the small of your back, it's called this because lose and promiscuous are known to have them

I mean no offense, but your mother is simply wrong. The rational version of the golden ratio is universally acknowledged to be asthetically lame. You can tell her I said so.
