TA+t= G

Where TA is teacher assisstant, T is tatto, and G is well you can guess at that ;)

It's hardcore all right, but not likely to get him any ladies if he's explaining at a bar what the meaning of the equation is.

If you tatoo any formulas in my class, You'd better come to the test dressed as a mummy!

I guess it's because I'm not an EE, but getting a math formula tatooed seems extremely geeky.... the only people who would appreciate the tatoo would be other EE'ers... and if impressing your fellow EE'ers if some type of goal or something that makes you happy... then you probably WOULD get a formula tatooed on ya.

I'm an electrical engineer, and there are about 30 other EE's here in my office, and if found out that any of them had a tattoo like that, I think I'd have to punch him in the face.

Heh, my friend's math prof in HS had e^(i*pi) tattooed on his arm... I say that's even cooler/strange than V=IR.

Heh, well its open to interpretation. I mean, it could mean he's hardcore about it.

Or i would read it as he couldn't remember one of the most basic formulas in EE.

Heh, that'd be funny. If my physics E&M prof saw this TA, he'd probably be annoyed. He would always tell us how "V=IR isn't an equation, just an approximation."

I think you mean Law. V=IR isn't really a law because it only holds true for materials that are "Ohmic"

I always thought it was kinda funny really. "V=IR is only true for ohmic matrials." "So whats an ohmic material?" "One that follows V=IR".

doh.

He should have gotten: me = teh v1rg1n4L1f3

At least that wouldn't be an approximation, it would be precise.

Hey, Maybe I should get this tattooed on me: A = L + OE

Man, I would be so hardcore. :p

lmao - LAME!!! :D

I saw the best tattoo the other day. This guy had baseball stitches on his arm. At first I thought that it was just a band, but it was the real pattern of a baseball's stitching, so when (I guess) he makes a muscle, it looks like his bicep is a baseball. Really cool and really original, I think he's on the baseball team here at my school, btw :)
