is it too nerd..

To get oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen atoms tattooed. please say no.

I really want it.

phoenix · 03.09.2010, 05:04 AM

It would balance out the geeky cloisonne look infinity I'd like wrapped around the other fore arm.

pokkeherrie · 03.09.2010, 05:05 AM

Not as nerdy as LARP. Hope that helps.

Tattoos and nerds don't really match in my mind anyway.

phoenix · 03.09.2010, 05:12 AM

\I don't LARP.

If I did, I probably wouldn't talk about it.

pokkeherrie · 03.09.2010, 05:35 AM

In that case you can safely get the tattoos.

If people call you a nerd, quickly change the subject to LARPers to make yourself look better.

pbradley · 03.09.2010, 05:38 AM

Yes, but you should do it anyway. You'll never get a tattoo if you are always considering whether it is a bad idea.

[image supressed to make room for others]

you talking organic chemistry here.

you can say many things with it

eg: "i'm a fucking wino":

(mmmm... EtOH)

this one is "i'm a fucking wino & going blind!"

(that's your basic methanol-- avoid)

this one sez "i'm a fatty"

(acid. that's your basic saturated fat. think lard.)

my favorite however would be vinegar-- i think of it as a personality trait

acetic acid. for the win.

aren't those covalent bonds sweet or what?

other fun--

methane:farts (only allowed 4 pictures but CH4 -- oh yeah)

i'd add nitrogen to the mix: it allows DNA molecules, proteins, & other such shit. cyanide (HCN) on the tongue is deadly.

I know.

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 03.09.2010, 05:57 AM

My friend recently got a tattoo of Crono from Chrono Trigger. So no, your tattoo ideas are not too nerdy.

Why exactly do you want those specific tattoos? If you have good reasoning, get 'em.

phoenix · 03.09.2010, 06:01 AM

Top three in the making of a human being. I like things in threes, and nines...

pbradley · 03.09.2010, 06:19 AM

For a while now, the idea of getting some variant of "Tat Tvam Asi" as a tattoo has crossed my mind several times but gets nowhere as it's insufferable, new agey bullshit.

Maybe "Thou Art That" in unadorned helvetica, instead.

Or nothing at all, which is at least cheap and convenient.

you should crucified yr skin with whatever you want...but choose well, or try to clean it with water and soap for the rest of yr life.

SonikJesus · 03.09.2010, 06:43 AM

Yes. Yes it is way nerdy. But get the tattoos anyways.

akprodr · 03.09.2010, 07:38 AM

What would it look like--the classic planetary setup?

Toilet & Bowels · 03.09.2010, 08:21 AM

you should get the chinese symbols for oxygen, hydrogen, & carbon atoms, that way people will think you're profound & a free spirit.

phoenix · 03.09.2010, 08:25 AM

i hate chinese character tattoos. unless they are on chinese people.

that's the kind of xenophobia i would expect from an australian, what about sanskrit?

phoenix · 03.09.2010, 08:35 AM

why not write in your native tongue, is what bothers me....

Toilet & Bowels · 03.09.2010, 08:38 AM

yeah, and why not keep the country white too? or at least why can't they learn english when they come over?
