That also work nicely as an intelligence test. If your doctor asks you what it is, you know it's time for a new doctor.

As tattoos go, that one is reasonably entertaining.

From a technical perspective, what did you do to work up the art and get the tattooist to render it correctly? I don't know a lot about tattooing, but this seems like something where you could hardly order it out of the usual flash samples, and where leaving the design up to the artist would not work.

Also, you don't seem to qualify for the Science Tattoo Emporium (are +EV gamblers "statistical engineers"?), but it seems pertinent nonetheless.

Sorry Ryan, I hadn't realized I left this comment dangling.

First, I did a lot of Google searching to find a n-dist that I found aesthetically pleasing. I messed around a bit in Seashore/MS Paint (I am not a graphics person by any means) to play around with different colour schemes and such. I edited out the superfluous stuff I didn't like, added some stuff from other graphs I did like.

Printed it out, went to the tattoo shop, asked the artist girl to do that but with fonts that were a little more artsy/pretty, leaving that to her discretion. Together we decided on the colour and other details. Then I sat in the chair for an hour and grit my teeth.

Some people will focus on the "normal" curve... I will elect to focus on the not one, but TWO standard deviations you've got representin'
