Im 99.9% sure it is. Look at the distortion around the "div align center"

You can see where the pixels are distorted around it, signs of a copy/paste. Pretty good job on the rest of them though. Some of the letters don't follow the contors quite right either.

I had an ex's name tattoo'd on my penis. Her name was Wendy and I was aroused when it was applied so when I'm soft all you can see is the W and Y. One day I was in a public restroom and this big guy was standing next to me at the urinals. I looked over and he had a W Y on his penis too. I said oh, I see you have a girlfriend named Wendy too. He looked at me strangely and I showed him my tatto. I pulled it and said "See, Wendy" he laughed and said mine says "Welcome to Jamaica Mon, Have a Nice Day."

lmao:smile: :smile:

You mean right above your ass?

I don't know about you guys, but getting math tattoos isn't quite as cool as getting... NOT math tattoos.
 
(at least the warm apple version of it)
I ended up getting some scarring from going all the way through. :frown:

We have to get guys to learn math somehow :biggrin:

Dude, you are crazy. Getting a math tattoo IS cool because not many people do it. Getting something dumb like chinese writting or like a butterfly for a girl is just stupid because everyone has that ****.
 
By the way, I didn't get the tattoo. I am still thinking about it though.
 
I would personally go with Maxwell's Equations in derivative form. Don't forget to use the modified Ampere's Law or people might point and laugh.
 
If I were to meet a woman with a math tattoo I would probably ask her to marry me.


By the way, one of the issues with getting a tattoo while intoxicated (so I've heard) is that your blood is thinner so you will bleed more and the ink won't take as well.

Agreed. *fantasizes about Keria Knightley doing algebraic geometry*

great now math tattoos aren't going to be cool as Keria and 1000s of others rush out to get them so they can marry you two.:rolleyes:

Those aren't signs of a copy/paste, those are JPG compression artifacts. Though I still agree, it's probably PS'ed.

Shame he missed the obvious opportunity for <head><head/>
 
I want to get a tattoo of the proof of Fermat's last theorem...all 300 pages of it.
