Taking a physics textbook to the tattoo parlor – awesome Maxwell Equation tattoo

Continuing our series of "Tuesday Tattoos", here is TEH’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.

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.
