Noah Radford’s tattoo of the golden record sent with the Voyager space probe in 1977 is part of a collection of science-inspired ink featured in the new book Science Ink: Tattoos of the Science Obsessed by renowned science writer Carl Zimmer.
From the product page:
This fascinating book showcases hundreds of eye-catching tattoos that pay tribute to various scientific disciplines, from evolutionary biology and neuroscience to mathematics and astrophysics and reveals the stories of the individuals who chose to inscribe their obsessions in their skin. Best of all, each tattoo provides a leaping-off point for bestselling essayist and lecturer Zimmer to reflect on the science in question, whether it’s the importance of an image of Darwin’s finches or the significance of the uranium atom inked into the chest of a young radiologist.
If you are into tattoos, Science Ink seems like something you should have on your coffee table. That having been said, the hardcover edition is currently on sale for only $13.78. That’s a whopping 45% off the list price.

The benefits of wearing clothing from Out Of Print is two-fold. One: wearing imagery from classic books makes you look smarter than you probably are. Two: for every t-shirt sold, Out of Print Clothing donates one book to Books For Africa. And hey, what better way to honor the recently departed J.D. Salinger than wearing a tribute to The Catcher In The Rye. Well, I suppose actually reading the book would be better, but this works too.
