+1 for the use of LaTeX notation.
-1, extraneous use of \eq
$e^{i\pi}=-1$

I'm thinking about getting a tattoo. The goal is to get something that is aesthetically pleasing in an abstract sense, to avoid thinking something is ugly years later.
I was thinking about the great wave, a dragon, a dragon fly or something else made up of PCB layout lines. I think that would look very nice on a forearm. http://www.imakethings.com/2007/09/14/image-to-pcb-app-and-p...
Most science tattoos are very, very ugly. And what if maxwell's equations or the Y-combinator get invalidated in the future :-P ?

Maxwell can get invalidated. Math can't.
Ahem. Russell paradox.
Granted it's been a while, but one can never be too careful.

For the truly paranoid only:
Witness the evolution of 'V-E+F=2' since Euler's time:

Is it right? Is it wrong? What does it mean to even BE a 'face' ?
Although I guess the worst thing that could happen in this situation is you change your explanation of the tattoo, and not the tattoo itself.

I wonder if he has a wife/girlfriend.
Sadly, I do not at the moment. The position is open for any girls who love guys with dorky tattoos. ;)
I never understood comments like this. They assume there are no geek girls with similar interests.
Relax, was a joke.
Gee, imagine waking up hungover after a total blackout and discovering that on your arm...

That wins for world's dorkiest tattoo. Dorkier than the golden ratio. Dorkier than e^{i\pi} \eq -1, and maybe dorkier than using latex notation in a web forum :)
