Carl Zimmer has this posted at his blog. Here is the link. This guy tattooed a model of the molecule fulvic acid, which he worked on as a graduate student. Apparently, it was less painful than grad school.
I only have one question - then why do you want to be reminded of it every time you look over your shoulder?

The other people I know who have science tattoos felt that their work defined them. Literally.
One thing I learned from asking them about this was that tattoos fade as you age. Eventually you have to get them re-done, or they become almost invisible.
Kind of like the scars from grad school.
How quickly a scars from grad school fades is proportional to the depth of that scar. But there are some scars just end up callusing an individual for life.
