Listen,
I think that I can safely assume that if you're here, a forum largely devoted to various forms of Speculative fiction, on a fairly regul... let's just say ever, you're something (if I had an editor, he'd probably be questioning the 'something') of a nerd, geek, person who know the how to calculate the Fibonacci sequence and at least knows the basics of Special/General Relativity.
Having cleared that, you're probably somewhat buying into the counterculture thing, as the stories here tend a bit in that direction. So you'll probably be interested in this, a blog that chronicles science tattoos (http://carlzimmer.typepad.com/).
Personally the one I'm most interested in is this one (http://carlzimmer.typepad.com/sciencetattoo/2008/02/we-come-in-peac.html), which is copy of the Plaques we sent out on Pioneer 10&11.

Before I left for college I got a tattoo with a Julia set on it. (And a dragon.) I guess that fits with both EP and PodCastle.

Give me a minus one to my geek score here. What's a Julia besides a species of Roberts?

It's a type of fractal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_set), related to the Mandelbrot set. Looks like the picture that Heradel posted.

Mandlebrot Set, Music with Rocks In version. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEw8xpb1aRA&feature=related) They're also known colloquially as Buddha Fractals because of their shape.
