The result was a resounding yes, and that yes turned into the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.discovermagazine.com\/loom\/science-tattoo-emporium\/\">Science Tattoo Emporium<\/a>. And today, I&rsquo;m pleased to announce, the emporium is going to turn into a book.<\/p><p>The book, tentatively entitled <em>Science Ink<\/em>, will be published next year by Sterling. The images will be accompanied by some of my own reflections on the tattoos, in which I will unpack the inside jokes and strange histories of the science behind the pictures.<\/p><p>The ultimate purpose of the book, like the Emporium, will be to illustrate the passion that science can inspire. To that end, I also plan to donate a portion of the proceeds from the book to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.donorschoose.org\/\">DonorsChoose<\/a>, a great organization that funds science projects in the classroom.<\/p><p><strong><span>If you have a tattoo that you&rsquo;d like me to consider<\/span><\/strong> for inclusion for the book, please <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"mailto:carl@carlzimmer.com\">get in touch<\/a>. I&rsquo;ll send you the paperwork and instructions for submission of a book-ready image. I will also be getting directly in touch with people whose tattoos I have already posted here and which I&rsquo;d like to include in <em>Science Ink<\/em>. We will need the image and the paperwork back by<strong> <span>October 1, 2010.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p>(P.S.: And for those of you who hate tattoos, no matter how scientifically inspired, stay tuned. I&rsquo;ll have news of a tattoo-free book in the not-too-distant future.)<\/p><p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/zJ3b8ky9NIYYDbMl5QvyQ5MYstE\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/5bb59_di\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a><br><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/zJ3b8ky9NIYYDbMl5QvyQ5MYstE\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/5bb59_di\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/5bb59_QdGa0402IBs\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/5bb59_nQeHOq0ONbg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was three years ago to the day that I wondered out loud whether scientists wore tattoos of their science.
