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.
I want caddisfly tattoos eventually

You need a visual representation of it too.

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.

Write it on or near your boobs, along with the table of elements thing for gold.
Pretend you are Madonna.

We could and should make lots of other words that way.

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.

Every single chemistry organization has beat you to it. But, who knows, there may be something worthwhile.

I wonder what would happen if you combined those three elements.

It'd be a fairly radioactive alloy. Don't know if it'd actually be usefully for anything.

BUMP because Phil Plait (Bad Astronomy) is going to add himself to the list of tattoos and is asking for suggestions.
