More ink: planning stages

[saucy_babe]

So I'm not planning on getting another tattoo for another year or so, and where I would get it is still pretty up in the air. However, I kind of want this next one to be representative of my passion for the field of scientific research. I love this quote by Albert Einstein

Okay, on a more serious note …

I think science could easily be a stylized atom or molecule (though I think the atom would probably be more artistic looking).



Instead of a nucleus, perhaps you could insert there a symbol of mystery? Maybe an eye something like that?



Or maybe something like the Triple Goddess? Alchemy symbols are pretty cool and mysterious (the science itself is rather artistic and mysterious). Maybe insert one of them into the nucleus? It's too early right now for ideas other than random ones. XD

Not to sound too picky, but the atom symbol is way over-used, especially for tattoo art. Also, while I agree that the atom (to the lay person, anyways) is the basic fundamental unit of life, I'm not a chemist or physicist, so I wouldn't mind something more symbolic of biology instead of elemental science. I think it's easier to meld art with science anyways if its on the biological level (evolution at its most beautiful is in the form of the organism, I think). Maybe DNA or something more on the macromolecular level?

And I hate the eye you have here, though I don't hate the idea. I like the Triple Goddess suggestion, but I sort of want the three symbols to flow into one another and not necessarily have two or three things incorporated into one image (if that makes any sort of sense).

It's all good, lol. I think DNA can look really pretty if done the right way. I'll keep these thoughts in my mind and let you know if anything pops up.
