This post immediately zoomed to near the top of my personal list of cognitive approach-avoidance conflicts. Until now I had convinced myself that I had a sound logical foundation for a mild revulsion to tattoos. But, now I am confronted with a science tattoo, a subject of never ending interest to me. I am sure that I am going to be conflicted the next time I have to pass that 'A Million Tattoos' sign off the highway.

Oh, My! I feel an impending resurgence of the classic conflict between good and evil!

Damn you Carl Zimmer!
