I found a cool article on Discovery Magazine's blog about various science tattoos:

Here's some of my favorites.







I've wanted this one for a very long time:

By combining LMNO and RWHN technologies I've come up with the following idea for a sciency tattoo, for the ladies:

An arrangement of cherries

In the form of the pi symbol

in a southernly locale

ALSO:

The Olympus Mons

In the same general location. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

You need a visual representation of it too.

LOL, discredited atomic model.

Would you say discredited? or simply a rough first approximation?  It is still a useful model for teaching the concept of the atom to children, for instance.  I believe it also has an immortal kitsch to it (which i approve of).

Yeah, I was thinking of asking a graphically-oriented friend to draw me a traffic cone with the formula stylized upon it.

It's not trolling, it's just satire.

LOL, discredited atomic model.
Discredited in the same way that Newton's laws of motion are discredited.  It's been shown that it's not entirely accurate, but the Bohr model does a good job of visualizing the relationship between electrons, neutrons, and protons.

I think this could make a nice memebomb/poster

We could and should make lots of other words that way.
Every single chemistry organization has beat you to it.  But, who knows, there may be something worthwhile.

I never said it was an original idea.
