Carl Zimmer: Science Tattoo Emporium (And Yet It Moves)

Carl Zimmer is a blogger and writer for both The New York Times and Discover Magazine, which also hosts his blog, The Loom.  Zimmer writes on a wide range of scientific topics. He is the author of 12 books, the most recent of which is Science Ink: Tattoos of the Science Obsessed. When Zimmer asked on his blog how many scientists out there had tattoos, he was inundated with photo submissions and commentary, which he has collected into the neat book you can see and order below. It’s our pleasure to share some of them…

Pax writes,

My Galileo tattoo. I’m in computers, but it’s a general sentiment… I think it fits the thread. [Note from Carl: See here for more on this quotation.]
