Tattoo Ideas for Science Lovers

Tattoo is a marking made by inserting dark, indelible ink into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment for decorative or other reasons.

Tattoos on humans are a type of decorative body modification, while tattoos on animals are most commonly used for identification or branding. Today in Odd Stuff Magazine we are presenting pictures of tattoos which have some element of science involved in it.

Chemistry’s complex structures, Physics theorems, models and many other science related ideas which are commonly seen as tattoos are being presented here. I hope you will like this collection.

    Nice going – prepares you for your future of selling Pretzels to tourists.

      I have a while forearm tattoo and work with insurance, but thanks for that narrow minded attitude.

    • Doc

      I have a PhD in molecular biology and teach biochemistry at the local college. I have a forearm tat of glucose mechanism, and a tat of darwin on my other forearm.

      • TiaHillary

        I’m a teacher (elementary) with a forearm tattoo – I think people are realizing that tattoos are a form of art, expression, etc. and one can still be a productive member of society, even with ink.

        • Amurrica

          I’m a student in college and…. Who cares?

          Tattoos are a waste of money and they are ugly. They do not seem like an intelligent investment to me and therefore it almost feels demeaning for a website to suggest these tattoos are good for science lovers. “Hey look dude my arm has this spiral thing on it! I don’t know what it is exactly but it was in my science book with the name “DNA”… I totally love science!” Right.

          Sure it’s my opinion, but if you ask me, it’s a good one.

          • Katrina

            No one asked you. You supplied your own opinion without an invitation. Therefore, college is wasted on you.

            Shut up and mind your own business. Also, take your bad attitude and shove it up your ass.

            And I quote: “Hey look dude my arm has this spiral thing on it! I don’t know what it is exactly but it was in my science book with the name “DNA”… I totally love science!” Right.
            Try maturing, you uppity bitch. All 10 trillion of your cells MUST be retarded. Simply because you cannot comprehend why someone would do something does not make their action stupid, it makes YOU stupid. Try thinking before you speak or type, you may do yourself a favor and make yourself look good once in a while. As it is, your RUDE and ignorant mindset makes me ashamed to share a genus with you. Good luck in life, you’re going to need it.

            Btw… I have 6 tattoos. I’m going to be a biology major. And I just bet that my tattoos get me less negativity than your shitty attitude gets you.

      I’m a Medical Librarian with a full back tattoo and the beginning of a sleeve.

      I’ve got two large format forearm tattoos, and I still make a pretty good living… banging the high holy hell out of your mother’s face.

    • sillyyou

      Lol @ your antiquated attitude.

    • amonkeyinmypocket

      I love all people who HAD to respond to make sure it was known that people can have a “real” job if they have a tattoo. Guess the same can’t be said for having a sense of humor. Good job, everyone…

      Oh, and by the way, I’m a rocket surgeon, have 7 PhDs, have been to the moon twice, AND I have a tattoo…

      • What

        Is that like a surgeon that goes onto rockets in case the astronauts get really sick?

        • snoochies

          STFU the sarcasm fish slapped you across the face and you thought it was a kiss from god. OH WAIT! That’s right, you don’t get sarcasm.

          • Diego

            You’re just a dumbass.

          • Sael

            There is no god.

    • nIce CapiTaliZationN

      Excellent trolling, and nice use of capitalization. Last time I checked, English didn’t call for capitalized nouns.

      Marginally literate and obnoxious – what a great combination!

  • Edwelweiss

    Hans, I know for a fact that tattoo #39 belongs to a professor of evolutionary biology, not a pretzel salesman.

  • Ysyo

    @ Han, my bio professor is 29 years of age, she has a bunch of tattoos and a PhD in Biology.

  • Smochiepoo

    Well I hope none of your bio professors dont have the DNA tattoos as I saw alot of them, or maybe all, lacking minor and major grooves…just saying you will flunk an exam if you dont remember that little fact

  • elcarlitoxloco

    a few fake ones but other than that they’re pretty cool

  • Annoyed

    A lot of these have nothing to do with science. Not even the Aperture Science logo. (For non-gamers, Aperture Science is a fictional research company/facility in the video game Portal)
    A couple of these looked like they were drawn on with an ink pen.
    Gripes aside, these are pretty neat.

  • http://tragicbeautiful.com/ Throckmorton Jones

    Some of these have nothing to do with science at all. Like half of them. But most are pretty cool. I have a friend who has the formula for finding the gravitational pull of an object tattooed on his forearm.

  • tom

    Hand tattoos are just terrible. That (de)evolution one was pretty good though

  • McG

    So, is that supposed to just be a picture of crotch with half a tattoo haphazardly thrown in there?

  • JaysonB190

    For those of you who are curious but want to save time, the one with binary code translates too: peaceful frustration.

    • Amanda

      really?? that is soo cool!

  • Pikopikos

    The “αλήθεια” was great…

  • http://kcatprizerebel.blogspot.com/ James

    Some really sick tattoos! Lots of ideas now ;)

    Does it bother anybody else that the structure for LSD (the one that looks like it’s drawn with pen onto the bottom of a foot) is incorrect?

    I mean, come on. At least get the structure right.

  • Chara Allridge

    Sweet post.

  • Evan

    These gave me some great ideas. Namely, getting the chemical structure of THC somewhere.

  • Jamie B

    Is the one of binary on the guy’s side the Time Code thing from Futurama?

    Sooo we can agree that the majority of ‘science lovers’ that decide to get tattoos are the hairy, fat, and pasty ones. Eww

  • Nadine

    Some of these tatts are really cool, but most of them are just ugly and poorly done. :(

  • Sam

    Very cool, I’ve seen a few of these on the web and I’m tired of mine not being on them, so damnit, here’s my pictures :P

      Your tats are way cool. I hope people bother to check on the link. Love the one that looks steampunk. I love tats but until they find a way to do it without stabbing me a zillion times with a needle, it ain’t gonna happen.

    The dot and cross diagram for sodium chloride is wrong. NaCl is an ionic compound. Electrons are swapped, not shared.

    Hi I was trawling for reliable knowledge on consumables for grand format printers. Your blog was listed on Bing in this category, you have an informative site.

  • bradlyJ

    hey great tattoos im becoming a tattoo artist myself and i noticed that a lot of these (like the first one) arent tattoos. theres also a lot of henna in there and the guy with the muscles and bones is body paint but dont get me wrong they were all great works

  • Steve

    These are all, without exception, absolutely hideous.

  • David

    The tattoo in binary sais: PeacefulFrustration

  • Psilence

    …Could some kind person explain to me what a flaming giraffe has to do with science?

    • Tracy

      Yea. I wondered that too. All the rest I could place, dispite mistakes. But a burning geraffe? You got me.

    • Tracy

      Oops! misspelled giraffe!

  • Cat

    Most of these have little or nothing to do with science, unless by science you mean the class in middle school. This article could have been much improved by dividing it into specific sections, like an “artistic licence” category.

  • MailMan

    The Binary Tattoo says Peace/Frustration.
