"I'm an evolutionary biologist who investigates the evolution of sperm form, sperm-female interactions and sperm competition. So...yeah, it's pretty much about sperm. Wanted to bring the concept of the homunculus to life, as all illustrations of it have always been rather cartoonish." --Scott Pitnick, Syracuse University

The science tattoo collection now has 56 images. See the full set at flickr. Any more illustrated lurkers out there?

This just keeps getting better. FYI, I've referred to the tattoo gallery on Flickr and the Loom in this week's Laboratorytalk newsletter (linked).

Wouldn't it have been more realistic tattooed on his palm?
