May 27 2009Physics Equation Tattoos Are So In Right Now
This guy got the Born Oppenheimer Approximation, 3-D Schrödinger Equation and Schrödinger Equation's solution permanently inked on his back. Well, what do you think? Because I'd hit that like a Higgs boson. MEOW! Uh-oh, Schrödinger's Cat -- it's out of the bag!
Does this Physics Tattoo Make this Man the Biggest Nerd on Earth or Hottest Geek Alive? [gizmodo]
Thanks to Sarah, who said she'd do him like a school marm. I don't even know what that means, Sarah, but I think I want in.

What a loser! The 3-D Schrödinger Equation isn't even correct - he forgot to carry the one.

That's simultaneously hot and disturbing. Just the way I like it!

blah blah racist bullshit blah blah

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where MAx was put into the witness protection program and relocated to Arizona. He didn't like that the food sucked and the people were boring, but then he started an organized crime ring, and ended up building a little league field.

@2 that must be quite a taint
@6 I thought I'd be the only one to notice
@8 right? I feel oldschool now but prisoners still think it looks cool

I would have gone for the more compacted form of the Schrodinger equation myself. Being an EE i would opt for Maxwell's equations!
12. Crazywow - May 27, 2009 10:10 AM
He obviously didn't check this issue of "Mathmatics Monthly" . He would have know that algorithms are what's really hot now.
I personnally would've gone with the Navier-Stokes Equations, then get hot mathematician chicks to try and solve it. Also anything involving pi would have been a good choice,.......mmmmmmmm pie.

I sat behind that guy at the Nudist Physics Championships. I would have won but my Grand Unification Theory was just a sketch of me and Megan Fox going at it...

An inconveniently placed mole could so easily ruin this whole equation. (check lower left) is that the first derivative of Ra i see or not?

22. Galtacticus - May 27, 2009 3:40 PM

23. Darth - May 27, 2009 3:44 PM

World's most ridiculous tattoo ever, hands down.
29. DeeplyTroubled - May 28, 2009 12:02 AM
This is what it would look like if you crossed Einstein with the guy from Memento.
30. Tobler1 - May 28, 2009 1:57 AM
@9 Why is there ALWAYS someone crying fake? EVERYtime "FAKE"....such a hater. Accept that sometime people do wack 'ish, my blog (loltatz) is full of it. People are f**ked. We should laugh at them. Look at the redness areas around the major bones on the back. Spine etc. There are TONS of these science tats.

Cry fake on them. Dare you.
31. Budrophious - May 28, 2009 2:30 AM
@9 What shadows?
Wait!!!!!! The Sigmas are disproportionate. We can't have that! NOOO!!!
Lastly, does this make him feel smarter? I doubt it. So sad.
Lisa, so sorry to waste your time.
32. Jaded Icon - May 28, 2009 8:29 AM
Really sad moment actually.....the guy originally wanted a My Little Pony tattoo, but he was really drunk so the ink artist gave him this.
