Who would have guessed there were so many people with Trilobite tattoos? Science tatoos.

Found while exploring this post on MeFi.

Haven't we seen these? Not that they aren't cool.

Regrettably, this is a double. Too bad ... people won't have a reason to look at mine again.

It's unfortunately a triple... the url has changed for Carl Zimmer's Science Tattoo Emporium.

Crapadoodle. Vanity compels me to fix that link I borked before the mods nuke this.

I'm pleased at how mainstream tattoos are becoming. The other day I was talking to an older lady who went on about how "the streets are so much more dangerous these days" and she knew this because she saw some kids selling magazines door-to-door had "tattoos everywhere".

I personally look forward to our first visibly tattooed President and/or religious leader.

Even if it's a repeat post, trilobites are still cool.

Yeah, without much fanfare the US has become a heavily tattooed culture.

This belongs to one of my friends, and made me (favorably) rethink the idea of tattoos.
