From Scienceblogs.

I imagine it would be handy for settling bar bets and locker room boasts.
I'm thinking of having cup sizes tattooed on my hand.

Also, Flickr has two pages of tattoos on science geeks.

Fantastic tats in his series. The host also wrote an acalimed book about evolution.

Good job he didn't get the tat on his willy.

indeed - - no time to wait for the extendable version..:yelsick:

Yea, but what if he had the retractable slide ruler kind?

Ouch... ouch... ouch...

very cool. Did you see the Origin of Species one from a Darwin sketch?

Thanks for posting.

You could get logarithmic scales done on each arm, and then use them together as a slide rule.

Metric system rulez!

I tried to guess what it was before clicking on the thread.
I failed.

Best I came up with was personal details on someone with a lifelong condition like a fatal allergy, diabetes or other So that if they pass out when they aren't with friends/ family, people will know what to do.

The ruler is way cooller though.
But damn you Bruce. Looking at those amazing tattoos has made me want another one. Just wow.

Somewhere on the internet, someone has that tattoo, is making a fist, and using the tat as a depth gauge.:headshake

Give some people an inch...

Bruce's IotD "useful tattoo" is currently front-page at reddit.com. Well done xoB!

Is that why things were running so slowly tonight?
