Here is some trigonometric and logarithmic equations written on an attractive face (it appears to be done using Photoshop, not a tattoo. Subscripts and superscripts have been linearized.):
This next guy is a biochemist and molecular biophysicist.
He writes:
The first line is the Born Oppenheimer Approximation (a method for simplifying calculation of the energy and molecular wave function of a molecule), the second line is the equation in the form of a 3-Dimensional Schroedinger Equation, and the solution in the form of a Schroedinger Equation (a wave function that yields probabilities of physical variables).
And finally, a navigator in the navy believes passionately that while we have GPS, sailors should still be able to navigate using the sun and stars.
The owner of the tattoo writes:
For me it serves as a reminder that while technology improves, the sea remains an unpredictable place and it is up to the older generation to teach the younger the old school ways of doing business.
