Carl Zimmer has been collecting science-related tattoos for a few years. I sent him a picture of my coelacanth tattoo for his Web page, and then for his upcoming book. I don't much like the subtitle—I don't think I'm science-obsessed, and certainly not obsessed with coelacanths—but I do think it's a cool project. (And I should probably see if I can make a usable icon out of this photo.)

ETA: I just got a follow-up email, asking for artist information so Carl can put credits in the book. This tattoo was done by Craig Cooley, who is now in Lake Charles, LA.
This is somewhat fragmentary, because I'm writing it two weeks after the fact.
