Taking a physics textbook to the tattoo parlor - awesome Maxwell Equation tattoo
Continuing our series of “Tuesday Tattoos”, here is Tor Holste’s awesome Maxwell Equation tattoo on his ankle:
I had mine done nearly two years ago. Attached is photographic proof of how awesome it is to bring a Griffiths text into a tattoo parlor.
Notice that the equations oscillate about my ankle, as if they were mediated by a virtual photon.
The Griffith book that he is referring to is “Introduction to Electrodynamics”.

I asked him if he really took the Griffiths book to the tattoo parlor and he quipped:
Indeed, Griffiths was brought to the parlor. I’m pretty sure that Griffiths texts should be brought everywhere.
TEH
And I couldn’t agree with him more. If you are stranded on a deserted island, and could carry only one book, I highly recommend that you consider carrying the Griffiths Electromagnetism book.
Of course, if I knew that I was going to be on a deserted island and could only take one book, I’d probably refuse to go, but if that choice wasn’t available, I’d take:
“How to build a boat for Dummies”
but Griffiths would be my second choice, honest!
Here are the couple of other Maxwell equation tattoos that we have posted earlier.
