Your scientific body art just keeps getting more attention. Can I just say that, as a science writer, I find it strange to get calls from other reporters wanting to interview me about other people's tattoos? Who put that in my job description? Anyway, here are a few links--
Wired: The Coolest Science Tattoos
Metro (UK newspaper): Sci-ink-tific tattoos all the rage
Chemical and Engineering News: Science Tattoos
Long Island Press: "These pics, collected by science writer Carl Zimmer, capture nerdiness in its most badass form."
So, if you want the world to see your inky love of science, send in your pictures...

"And after me, the deluge." I definitely butchered that quote but hey. I think it fits.

I am the spanish Knight Science Journalism Fellow you met at MIT last October. I also created a post about the science tattoos in my blog:
