CNN reports on a survey of the increasing number of people getting tats:
I've written previously how people will do crazy things for aesthetics. I know some would consider any tattoo in this category; I can't since I have a few myself. However, I'd never heard of a 3D tattoo before.

And now it's my favourite neurotransmitter too!

I can see that this neurotransmitter really works. Is it addictive?

That's so awesome! I love that idea. I wonder if there is anyone out there that has their body tattooed in such a way as to label the muscles/tendons/blood vessels/etc... That would be... well creepy, but cool.

Oh, raver-girls. I love you AND serotonin! (It's funny how many people I know whose favorite neurotransmitter is serotonin...)
