Science tattoos have been all the rage lately. Even though I'm a scientist, I'm also a surgeon; so naturally I was wondering if there was anything that I'd like to see too.
There is.
Over at Street Anatomy, there's a great collection of anatomy tattoos. Anyone who has any surgery-related tattoos, send a picture of them to me, and maybe I'll get in on the action by posting it. A tattoo of the abdominal contents on someone's abdomen would be really cool.
I saw a guy with a tattoo of a heart on his chest earlier today on mySpace (I KNOW, I am a grown woman who uses myspace).
I will try and find you the photo later :)
Science tattoos *versus* anatomy tattoos? Seems to me that science tattoos *include* anatomy tattoos...
Carl - I think Orac is subtly trying to increase the distance between science and certain neurosurgeons.

My personal favorite was an anatomically correct heart, but with the word "Mom" on a ribbon tattooed across it.
I kinda want to get my spine tattooed with it's glorious scoliatic curve, rotation and all. But it'd get ruined when I get my spine fused... so maybe I'll wait until after the fusion and get my spine plus the rods/hooks/screws/H-bar tattooed. It'll be sweet.
