Body art meets popular science in this elegant, mind-blowing collection by renowned science writer Carl Zimmer.

The book shows hundreds of tattoos from various scientific disciplines — from evolutionary biology to neuroscience to astrophysics — while revealing the stories of the people who inscribe their obsessions on their skin.

“Zimmer brilliantly animates the intoxicating passions of science lovers in perfectly precise, perfectly poetic short stories.”
- Jad Abumrad, host of “Radiolab”
