my favourite tattoo is the lambda (λ) on the back of my neck. λ is one of the most common symbols i work with in engineering calculations, because it represents so, so, so many different things in math and science, from wavelengths to exponential decay to flux linkage.

(and it's also kinda gay! when i was first exploring my queerness through literature, the lambda literary awards were a great starting point.)

Bubble chamber tattoo, done my Kyle Franklin at Rose of No Man's Land in Woodbury, Minnesota. He did my Voyager Space Probe tattoo, also on this site, too. A lot of people put religious tattoos on their right shoulder so I thought I should put something related to the origins of the universe there, and I love the aesthetic of the bubble chamber.
