I continue to get photos at a regular rate, and as I post new ones, they continue to get noticed anew by places like Digg and Boing Boing.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, I was so stunned by the influx of photos that I posted just about anything that came my way. But as the emporium has grown, I&#8217;ve become choosier about which ones I post. So if you are considering sending in your own scientific ink, please read these guidelines:<\/p>\n<p>1. I&#8217;m most interested in tatoos that tell a story. The most interesting stories are the ones about how people became scientists. I love <a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/blogs.discovermagazine.com\/loom\/2008\/02\/17\/lou-gehrigs-neuron\/\">this one<\/a>, for example.<\/p>\n<p>2. When you <a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"mailto:blog@carlzimmer.com\">send<\/a> in pictures, please include a paragraph in which you tell me who you are and explain the significance of the tattoo. I prefer people to tell the story of their tattoo in their own words.<\/p>\n<p>3. If you&#8217;ve been so inspired by the emporium that you&#8217;ve dashed out and gotten a tattoo of your own, do NOT immediately take a picture and send it to me. I don&#8217;t enjoy staring at raw, bruised flesh. Neither do readers of the Loom. Let yourself heal before grabbing the camera.<\/p>\n<p>4. Make sure the photograph is well lit and at high resolution.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/DiscoverMag\/~4\/ZI0YH6BQfbo\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Science Tattoo Emporium continues to thrive, long after I first wondered aloud in August 2007 whether scientists had any cool tattoos of their research hidden under their lab coats.
