content: Quote from: AcHmed99 on January 03, 2015, 10:43:07 pmReminds me of a joke I heard years ago. A man goes to the doctor for a checkup and the doc notices he has the word 'TINY' tattooed on his package. He has to leave the room to avoid laughing. He tells the nurse and said to go check it out. A half hour later she comes out, hair in every direction, clothing askew, red in the face and panting. The doc asks what's wrong and she says, "doc you were wrong, the tattoo says Ticonderoga Lake, New York." I couldn't resist either.

content: Quite well executed, too.The thread brings to mind the idea of circuits that form nice patterns - like this modified multi-phase multivibrator: repeat it as many times as you want phases, as long as it's an odd number. I'd like to see some sort of stylized version of one of these "geometric" circuits...

content: IF, and a big IF, I ever get a tattoo, it will be a little cartoon guy pushing a lawn mower on top of my head. I'm losing it anyway, might as well have fun with it.I know, it's not electronics related, but it's the only tattoo I'm interested in getting.

content: Apropos tattoos, tattoos wash bottles like this one are very handy for keeping water on the bench, e.g. for the wet solder sponge. Good control over the dispensed amount and they don't leak when tipped over. There are many plenty on ebay.http://r.ebay.com/5201Y6

I would post a photo, but since there is no 18+ section on this forum I leave it to your imagination.

content: I kept misplacing my ruler.... so I got one tattooed on my forearm. Can shift +/-2cm depending on how extended or contracted my arm is, but when I'm at my desk it is BANG ON. Use it every single day.

My Aunt showed me a rose she had done when she was in her late teens. 50 years later it has wilted significantlyI can however appreciate the artistry that went into that tat in the OP.

content: I've been idly considering some kind of electronics tattoo for a while now. Then I saw that ruler!The oscillator would be kind of a cool arm-band like those tribal tattoos all of the bros were getting back in the day. The flip-flops might be better off as a wallhanging, I could see the tattoo artist getting off track and making a mistake in the diagram. Wouldn't want that on me permanently!

content: OK, new idea I had on the train home yesterday. How about some old-skool resistors with the color codes for my kids' birthdays? I'd stick them on a heart-shaped PCB or something. If I do a two-digit year without zeroes, they're a 4 and a 5 digit number. They don't fit any of the E series but I'm willing to take artistic license. The question is, ISO or 'Merican date format?
